Instead, 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 to bring that charge to zero.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s happening here is you are signing up for a 24-month commitment with the network. If you decide to cancel your service, switch to another carrier, or upgrade to the iPhone 18 before those 24 months are up, the remaining unpaid balance on the phone&#8217;s retail value will become due immediately.<\/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.
