![Apple Holds Product Launch Event At New Campus In Cupertino](https://img.money.com/2017/09/iphone8sprintfree-em-846198992.jpg)
*The new iPhone 8, iPhone X and iPhone 8S are displayed during an Apple special event on September 12, 2017.*

The retail price for the new [iPhone 8](https://www.apple.com/iphone-8/), which will be released on September 22 and is currently [available for pre-order](https://time.com/4939845/iphone-8-buy-preorder/), starts at $699.

But that new iPhone could be free with a new promotion from Sprint. The other three major wireless providers have iPhone 8 deals too, including $300 credits for eligible trade-ins.

## Sprint

With [Sprint's new deal](https://www.sprint.com/shop/device/list/PHONE?filterString=Manufacturer%2Fapple), customers can purchase an iPhone 8 64GB for $0 when trading in an eligible phone—specifically, the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S8+, or Samsung Galaxy Note8—and signing up for an 18-month [Sprint Flex lease](https://www.sprint.com/en/support/sprint-flex-lease.html) and wireless plan. (Sprint hasn't yet announced any deals or promotions for the new [iPhone X](https://time.com/4937191/iphone-x-release-date/), which starts at a whopping $999 and won't be available until November.)

Sprint says the monthly lease price for the iPhone 8 is normally $29.17 per month. But that charge will be credited back in full for qualified customers. Sprint also warns that if you cancel before the 18-month lease term is up, the full balance is due.

If you don't have one of the eligible phones mentioned above, you might still be able to get a deal on the iPhone 8 from Sprint. When you trade in fairly new smartphones such as the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, Samsung Galaxy S7, or Moto Z Play, the normal lease price for the iPhone 8 is now being cut in half by Sprint—so, $14.58 per month, rather than $29.17.

Sprint's unlimited talk, text, and data plans are among the cheapest in the wireless industry: A plan with one phone [costs $50 per month](https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/plans/unlimited-cell-phone-plan.html) during a limited-time promotion, and a plan for four or five phones costs only $90 per month. Taxes and fees are additional. Sprint is waiving the usual $30 activation fee for orders online or over the phone too.

Before jumping over to Sprint, however, be warned that users often complain that its [service and reliability is worse](https://money.com/best-cell-phone-plan-2017/) than AT&T and Verizon.

Other wireless providers are rolling out iPhone 8 promotions, too.

## **AT&T**

[AT&T](https://www.att.com/shop/iphone.html) has a few different new deals, including a $300 credit if you're trading in an iPhone 7 Plus. Alternately, you can get a $200 credit when trading in some other devices. Go to [tradein.att.com](https://tradein.att.com/#/start-a-trade/discover-device-value) or an AT&T store to find out exactly how much your trade-in is worth. The provider also has a buy-one, get-one-free deal on the iPhone 8 if you sign up or already subscribe for the company's [DirecTV or U-Verse](https://www.engadget.com/2017/09/14/att-buy-one-get-one-free-iphone-8-caveat/) TV service.

## **Verizon**

[Verizon](https://www.verizonwireless.com/smartphones/apple-iphone-8/) gives a $300 credit for iPhone 8 purchases with a trade-in of 11 different high-end smartphones, including the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, Moto Z2 Force, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S7, and LG G6. You can also get a $200 credit for trade-ins of devices such as the iPhone 6, iPhone SE, Galaxy S6, and Moto Z, or $100 for swapping in your old iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, Galaxy S5, or HTC 10. Check out all the [details here](https://www.verizonwireless.com/smartphones/apple-iphone-8/).

## **T-Mobile**

[T-Mobile](https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/apple-iphone-deals) offers a $300 credit on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus with eligible trade-ins, which include the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, or iPhone 6 Plus. T-Mobile notes that trade-ins must be paid off in full to qualify for the $300 credit. A $25 SIM starter kit must be purchased with the new iPhone 8 too, and customers have to pay the full taxes on the new device.
