Do you happen to know if you can get 40% off of two new phones, or is this only limited to one?
I think it’s for as many lines as you have on your family account.

I only have two and got quotes for both.

These deals are not deals for a majority of people. The best deal is if you have an AT&T Unlimited plan and call into customer retention to get 2 year contract pricing on the iPhone to get $450 off. They didn't change my line access fee or charge any activation fees. I have two iPhone XS Max 256 GB iPhones that I paid $850 each for after taxes.

There is no website with this info (although some ATT people will talk about it on /r/att)

You have to get someone in retention to agree to do it.
Thank you. Just called them and got the prices and it all sounded great till CSR told me that the phone will be locked for those 2 yrs to ATT.
I travel to Europe frequently and wanted to use their local SIM card for data and text. So this wouldn’t work for me. However it was a nice price 256GB was $699
