Although it’s not the newest device from Apple, the iPhone 11 is an extremely capable device that is sure to cover all your essentials. Additionally, you’re getting a new iPhone on a plan that gives you unlimited data at the fastest network speeds, a 15GB mobile hotspot, and many other perks. 


2. Get a new smartphone for free

Right now, Cricket Wireless is offering several smartphone deals for free. You have to switch your old number over to Cricket (excluding any AT&T numbers), then sign up for a plan that’s at least $30 or $60 per month, depending on the device you want. As with all phones sold by Cricket, these handsets will have to be used on the carrier for six months before they can be truly unlocked.

Another perk of signing up for a $60 per month plan is that you’ll get the ad-supported version of HBO Max thrown in for free. Once you’re signed up to Cricket, all you need to do is open the HBO Max app and select the option to sign in with a provider.

HBO Max is your home for Warner Bros-made movies and TV shows like The Lord of the Rings, the DC Comics superheroes, and more. It’s also the home for new and original movies and shows available nowhere else.
