The retail cost of your new phone is offset by 24 consecutive monthly bill credits. Your monthly statement will show a standard charge for financing the phone, which is immediately balanced out by an equal credit. <\/p>\n<p>What exactly does this mean? You&#8217;re signing up for a 24-month commitment with the network, and any unpaid balance on the phone&#8217;s retail value will become due immediately if you decide to cancel your service, switch to another carrier, or upgrade to the iPhone 18 before the end of your deal.<\/p>\n<p>You will also need to pay standard upfront taxes and a one-time $35 activation fee, but that&#8217;s a small price to pay for the latest iPhone.<\/p>\n<section x-data=\"window.newsletter({ isDeal: true })\" x-init=\"init()\" aria-label=\"Newsletter Sign-Up\" class=\"relative invisible my-12 mx-auto w-full max-w-3xl md:my-16 ziff-component accent-cut-for-gradient-bg accent-cut-border-for-gradient-bg bg-gradient-fuchsia-secondary p-[2px]\">\n<p>\n            <span class=\"text-gradient-fuchsia-secondary\">Mashable Deals<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<div class=\"p-8 bg-white md:p-10\">\n<div x-ref=\"smsNewsletter\" x-cloak=\"\" x-show=\"showPhone\" class=\"flex flex-col mx-auto font-sans\" data-ga-impression=\"\" data-ga-category=\"sms\" data-ga-module=\"incontent_nl_signup\" data-ga-label=\"deals\">\n<div class=\"mt-4 font-sans text-xs leading-normal text-left subtitle-1\">\n                        By signing up, you agree to receive recurring automated SMS marketing messages from Mashable Deals at the number provided.
