How to Get the Galaxy S26 Ultra for Free at Verizon
Galaxy S26 pre-orders are officially live in the United States, and Verizon is leading the charge with aggressive offers for both new and existing customers. Whether you're looking to switch or upgrade, the nation's largest carrier is giving you the chance to snag a Galaxy S26 Ultra at no cost.
The Offers at a Glance
| Model | Offer | Requirement |
| Galaxy S26 Ultra | Free ($1,300 credit) | Unlimited Ultimate Plan + Any Trade-in |
| Galaxy S26+ | Free ($1,100 credit) | Unlimited Ultimate or Plus + New Line |
How the Deals Work
To qualify for the free Galaxy S26 Ultra, you’ll need to add a new line or upgrade on the Unlimited Ultimate plan (minimum $90/month with Auto Pay). The standout feature of this deal? Verizon is accepting trade-ins in any condition.
If you prefer the Galaxy S26+, it is also available for $0 when adding a new line on either the Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus ($80/month minimum) plans.
The Fine Print
- 36-Month Commitment: All promotional credits are applied monthly over a three-year period. If you cancel early, the remaining balance becomes due.
- Auto Pay: Prices reflect the discount for using Verizon's Auto Pay service.
- No Bundles: Unlike previous years, Verizon is not currently offering bundle discounts for the new Galaxy Buds 4 Pro or Buds 4, though both are available for purchase alongside your new phone.
Release Date
Pre-orders are open now, and the devices are scheduled for full retail release on March 11. We recommend reviewing the full terms and conditions on Verizon’s website before finalizing your purchase.
