To get a free phone, customers must obtain a new or upgraded two-year agreement with AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon. According to CNET, customers may also have credit checks, activation frees and other registration processes.

The article added that some of the phones offer include the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4, Motorola's Moto X and the LG Enact.
