Free phone deals from carriers are a dime a dozen — as deal experts, we see plenty of carriers offer free devices with sign-ups or trade-ins. However, when they offer bundles with multiple devices, it’s definitely worth noting.
Also: The iPad I recommend to most users is only $299 right now
Right now, Verizon is offering a bundle that will keep you set for the next school or work year. Trade in select phones on Verizon’s myPlan and receive a Samsung Galaxy S25, a Galaxy Tab, and a Galaxy Watch, all for free.
Just like any deal, there are stipulations that may sway you in one direction or another. One thing to keep in mind is that service is required for the watch and tablet, so you will have to pay for a line for all of the devices. Also, you will have to pay the taxes and fees for the free devices. The phone you trade in also has to be a smartphone from either Apple, Samsung, Google, or Motorola (see the full list on Verizon’s website under Available Offers).

However, if you choose to follow through with this deal, this Samsung suite will help you become a productive powerhouse next school or work year. The Samsung Galaxy S25 is loaded with new features like Galaxy AI, a superb camera, and a slimmer form factor that conveniently fits in your hand. The Galaxy AI assistant makes daily life a pinch easier, and you’ll have one of the fastest phones on the market.
ZDNET contributor Prakhar Khanna tested the Galaxy S25 and found it to be the best out of the S25 family.
“Compared to Google and Apple, the Galaxy S25 offers a better display, the best in-hand feel in its segment, a more versatile camera setup, and good battery life. It’s better than the similarly priced Pixel 9 and iPhone 16 — and my top pick for anyone looking for a compact flagship right now,” he wrote.
This bundle pairs it with the Galaxy Tab, a device also highly recommended, this time by ZDNET expert Maria Diaz. She recommends the tablet over any Apple one. The Galaxy Tab comes with a pen, which Apple can’t say the same about.

The Tab’s split screen makes productivity easier, while being incredibly durable with an IP68 rating. You can also use your tablet or smartphone to view your health insights from your Galaxy Watch. With this deal, you can really get the power of three and maximize your lifestyle, whether you’re a student or a professional.
You can get your free Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy Watch when you trade in a select device on Verizon’s myPlan.
