While the big three wireless carriers love to yell about getting a new iPhone “on us,” they tend to bury important details in the fine print. To unlock their best deals, you’ll likely need one of their most expensive wireless plans, plus a phone to trade in that’s no more than a few years old.

To figure out what a free iPhone will actually cost you, use my Phone Deal Finder below. Enter the name of the phone you have now, and you’ll see a list of wireless plans and the trade-in credit you’ll get with each one.
