The carrier announced Thursday it will giving customers the option to lease two Galaxy S8 handsets for the price of one, however, you will need to get a new line activated. Simply put, you will either have to change your existing plan or opt for two new lines from the carrier. This entails that leasing out two S8 will cost you just $31.25 as you will be refunded for the second phone each month until your account is active. You need to keep in mind that this is an 18-month lease and you don’t end up owning the phones. The offer begins Friday and ends Thursday.
If you are not looking to make any changes to your current plan, this offer is not for you — it seems to be designed for people who want to upgrade their phones every year, whenever the new Galaxy S handset is released.
