How to Buy a New Phone on FreeUP

There are two ways to buy a new phone on FreeUP:

  • Purchase the device outright.
  • Via monthly installments through a third-party company called Affirm.

When you buy the phone outright, you pay the full recommended retail price (RRP) upfront. For inexpensive phones, this isn’t generally a big deal, but when it comes to flagship devices, the cost can be rather debilitating. If you’re not willing to fork over $800 to over $1,000 for a new phone then you may want to consider a monthly installment plan through Affirm.

It’s important to note that many carriers don’t charge interest on their payment plans, but Affirm does. Your interest rate will depend on your credit score, but it may be as high as 30%, which certainly isn’t the most affordable option. It takes just a few minutes to see the amount Affirm approves you for and you’ll have seven days to decide whether you want to pull the trigger.

Additionally, a down payment may be required and your estimated monthly payment excludes taxes and additional fees. Keep in mind, payment plans are likely not available for phones cheaper than $50. If you’re looking for the best installment phone plans, it may be better to look elsewhere before deciding on FreeUP.

That said, if you do wind up purchasing a FreeUP cell phone, you will receive:

  • Free shipping
  • The FreeUP Free Plan
  • A free SIM card

In order to receive free shipping, remember to use the code, FREEUP at checkout. The FreeUP Free Plan includes 1,000 minutes or text messages and unlimited hotspot WiFi.

Your interest rate may be as high as 30%. Other carriers may have more affordable monthly installment plans.


Bring Your Own Phone

FreeUP also makes it easy for you to bring your own phone (BYOP). You can either port your number to FreeUP or they can assign you a FreeUP phone number. You can bring your own device as long as it’s compatible with AT&T’s network (GSM).

To check whether your phone is compatible with FreeUP, simply enter your phone’s IMEI number online. If it’s compatible, great news! You can then proceed to choose your FreeUP phone plan. Once you receive your free SIM card, you can activate it online by entering the activation code that comes along with it.
