Samsung has resorted to literally paying people to buy its phones

Samsung’s smartphone sales have definitely been better, which is why the company has been forced to offer potential customers deals and promotions in order to convince them to purchase its smartphones. Not only is the company willing to pay your monthly phone bill for the next three months if you buy one of its new flagships, it’s offering iPhone users $100 in Google Play credit if they switch over to Samsung. 

Samsung, on a random Saturday morning, announced a new promotion to try and entice customers to make the switch to one of their flagship phones for 2015. The promo is also offering a special bonus to those who own an iPhone and are thinking about making the move to the good side of the Force. The promotion is this – make the switch to a Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+, or Galaxy Note 5 on an installment plan through T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, or US Cellular, and Samsung will cover the monthly cost of the phone until 2016. In other words, they will pay your monthly phone bill for the next 3 months. As a bonus for those coming from an iPhone, Samsung will also reward your intelligent decision with a $100 Google Play credit, to help get you all of your old apps from iOS. The full details of the promotion can be found at this Samsung Promotions site. I suggest you head there, read the fine print about timing, how the claim works for your monthly phone costs, how you trade in your phone, etc.
