Apple’s latest budget-friendly smartphone, the iPhone 17e, is now available for preorder, and Total Wireless by Verizon is offering a compelling promotion that makes the device essentially free. This no-contract carrier has listed the phone with a deal that requires no trade-in or number port, providing significant savings for new customers.
The promotion allows you to preorder the Apple iPhone 17e and save the full $599.99 retail price. You receive an immediate $300 discount, with the remaining $299.99 covered through monthly bill credits over a 12-month period. To qualify, you must activate a new line on the Total 5G+ Unlimited plan. There are no activation fees, making the upfront cost minimal.
This premium unlimited plan is priced at $60 monthly for a single line with AutoPay, plus applicable taxes and fees. Subscribers get unlimited talk, text, and data, including access to Verizon’s high-speed 5G Ultra Wideband network. The plan also bundles in a Disney+ Premium (ad-free) subscription and unlimited mobile hotspot data. For those who travel, it includes unlimited roaming in over 30 countries, such as Canada, Mexico, and Japan.
When you break down the numbers, this offer presents substantial value. Purchasing the unlocked iPhone 17e directly from Apple costs $599. Through this Total Wireless deal, you receive both the phone and a year of premium service for approximately $720. Effectively, you are paying only about $120, or $10 per month, for the service itself, with Disney+ included. This represents a significant saving compared to standard retail prices.
An additional benefit is that Total Wireless will unlock your smartphone after 12 months of continuous service. Once the year is complete, the iPhone 17e is yours to keep, free and clear, allowing you to switch carriers or plans as you wish. This deal is particularly advantageous if you are already satisfied with Verizon’s network coverage in your area.
The iPhone 17e, set for release on March 11, brings several upgrades over the previous model. It features a more powerful A19 chip, improved cellular performance with a new C1X model, and finally adds MagSafe support. The base storage has doubled to 256GB. Other enhancements include a more durable Ceramic Shield 2 display and refinements to the camera’s Portrait mode. It retains a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and a 48MP main camera, with full support for Apple Intelligence features.
