Verizon Wireless has announced Tuesday it would give away one of the phones Apple has revealed. Customers will receive the 16GB version of the iPhone 6. But, customers must turn in their old iPhone and sign a two-year agreement with Verizon.
Carriers usually offer a discount on phones to customers who sign a service contract, and sometimes offer older versions for free. But it is rare for a carrier to offer the latest model at no charge. Those who redeem the iPhone 6 offer will trade in their old model and receive a gift card for $200, to be used toward the new phone, priced at $199.
Some cellphone users may be switching their cellphone carrier.
