A new slate of offers from popular U.S. cellular carriers has emerged this month, offering customers a chance to save money on their monthly cellular bill, smartphones, smart watches, and more. Because of the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday, some of the carriers are also offering special deals when purchasing two smartphones.

AT&T
AT&T's central offer is
$500 off eligible iPhones when you add a line and trade in a qualifying device. If you plan on switching to AT&T and porting in your existing number, you can get as much as $700 off eligible iPhones.
iPhones that can be purchased with these offers include: 128GB/256GB iPhone 8 Plus, 128GB/256GB XR, 64GB/256GB X, 256GB/512GB XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max (priced up to $1450). The 64GB iPhone 8, XR, and XS are not eligible.
Once you purchase the iPhone, trade in an eligible device, activate service on an eligible AT&T unlimited wireless plan, and pay a $30 activation fee, you'll receive up to $700 in bill credits over 30 months. This means you could get the
64GB iPhone 11 at no cost, or you can opt for a more expensive iPhone 11 and pay the difference.
AT&T also has a few
internet and TV bundles for those shopping around for more than just smartphones. You can get up to $350 in reward cards if you bundle AT&T internet and TV together. This requires purchase of qualifying AT&T TV package (minimum $49.99/month for 12 months) and 25M or higher Internet plan (minimum $40/month).
