My younger brother is a Google Pixel lover. He was using the Google Pixel 6 Pro and he loved it, so it didn’t take him long to buy the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and for him so far, it’s a great purchase that brings a lot more over Google’s attempt three generations back.
If you want a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL too, you might find yourself balking at its starting price tag. That’s a lot of money to spend on a smartphone. However, if you have an old Google Pixel at home and you like the idea of AT&T, you can find yourself with a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL for free. Yep, that’s right.
AT&T Will Hand You A Google Pixel 9 Pro Or 9 Pro XL For Free If You Trade In Any Pixel
Mobile carriers love the period surrounding the release of a new smartphone since it is one of the best times for them to entice customers over to their platform and away from competitors. The Google Pixel 9 series has been the object of a lot of pretty juicy deals and AT&T doesn’t want to be left out of it. They’re offering what might be the single best deal on two of the new Pixel 9 devices.
Whether you’re a new or existing customer, AT&T is giving you the chance to come in with a Google Pixel device, trade it in, and leave with a brand-new Google Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro XL for completely free. That’s right. You can bring in any Google Pixel, even way back to the very first one that the tech giant launched in 2016, and yes, “any condition” really does mean any condition; even if it looks like it was run over by a truck.
This is an incredibly sweet deal to have on offer and there’s hardly any reason to turn it down if you don’t mind using AT&T and you just happen to have a Google Pixel smartphone at home. If you’ve been using a much older Pixel for way too long, this is finally your chance to upgrade.
Of Course, No One Is Surprised That There’s A Sort Of Catch To This Deal
Unsurprisingly, there’s no way that AT&T can decide to simply throw out free Google Pixel 9 Pro devices without some kind of way to recoup its money. There’s a catch but I would hardly say it is an unfair one as long as you fulfill the right criteria.
The first thing is you’ll need to pay a $35 activation fee upfront and also pay tax on the full retail cost of the device. You’ll also have to be on an unlimited plan. Then, you have to set up a payment plan to pay off the “free” phone. But wait, before you riot: for the next 36 months, you will get a monthly bill credit which basically waives the cost of the phone, so you’re not paying for it at the end of the day. As long as you want to stick with AT&T for at least three years, you won’t notice it.
But what if you don’t want to stick around for three years? Well, at whatever point you leave, your bill credits will stop and you’ll need to pay the outstanding balance on the device. You get a free phone, and AT&T gets you on their network for longer. In case you’re not much of an AT&T guy, Verizon has a similar deal for some customers.
