Best Phone Deals: Top Discounts From Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and Unlocked Phones
CNET editors pick the products and services we write about. When you buy through our links, we may get a commission. The days of being able to walk into your carrier's store and get a new phone for $50 to $100 are gone, along with phone contracts, but that doesn't mean that phone deals disappeared with it. Over the past few years, carriers including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile have become far more aggressive with deals for both new and existing customers as each of them continue to push their 5G networks. These days it's not out of the ordinary to find deals that can score you a new high-end phone for free, but you often need to be on one of the carriers' higher-end 5G plans and agree to monthly bill credits over a 24- to-36 month period, which locks you into service and if you cancel before then you're on the hook for the difference.

Spam Calls Didn't Get Better After All: A Few Things You Can Still Do to Limit Them
Spam calls have been an annoyance for years now, especially in the US, and robocalls are the No. 1 complaint to the FCC. This year alone Americans are expected to get over 52 billion robocalls, according to YouMail, a company specializing in blocking them. You've probably gotten one -- or a few hundred -- annoying spam calls in the past, and it doesn't matter whether you own an iPhone or an Android phone or other. Those "scam likely" calls are equal-opportunity intrusive. Verizon customers even reported receiving phishing text messages from their own phone numbers this spring.
