Watch this: How to Shop Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals Like a Pro

Is Cyber Monday the best time to buy a phone?

Phone deals are readily available throughout the year, but many of these offers will require you to trade in an old phone or sign up with a carrier. During the Cyber Monday and Black Friday shopping season, direct discounts on unlocked models are a lot more frequent. That means you can score some savings without having to jump through any hoops or sign a multiyear contract.

Are phone deals better on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

It really depends on what store you're shopping at and if you're shopping online or in stores. Black Friday is traditionally better for in-person shopping, while Cyber Monday is best for online shopping. However, each store has its own pricing and sales, and frequently these deals carry over into Cyber Week, as we're seeing now.

Where can I find the best Cyber Monday phone deals?

Carriers like T-Mobile and Verizon may be offering discounts on phones, but these deals are often available year-round and they typically require a trade-in device or starting a new line. To take advantage of any special Cyber Monday or Black Friday offers, you'll want to shop for your new phone at a tech retailer like Amazon or Best Buy. That is where you'll find steep discounts on unlocked models, which won't require you to meet any special conditions.
