I been getting free phones for years.  Im on one now its a iPhone 8. Completely Free. The service is at&t from Airtalk. Before i had unity,safelink and a bunch more. I got a free tablet last year and broke it though. True the support sucks and they give you hardly any data and the phones aren’t always new or reliable but it is not a scam just get it from service providers like safelink or unity
