RadioShack is offering one of the best discounts you’ll find on a new iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c on contract. These are in-store prices, but for just $79 (Reg. $199) you’ll be able to get a 16GB iPhone 5s on new or upgraded two-year contract. That includes AT&T, Verizon and Sprint and you can even slash that price further from $79 to $0 by taking advantage of RadioShack’s trade-in offers for the iPhone 4s.
RadioShack is also offering a similar discount on the iPhone 5c. The entry-level 16GB model (Reg. $99) is available for just $29 (or for free with an eligible trade-in). That deal is also available on all three carriers including AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Both of these deals are approximately $20 under the best deals we see pop up from time to time through various retailers.
The company also noted that it’s knocking $10 off select OtterBox and Mophie cases for those picking up a new iPhone. The deals kick off in RadioShack stores starting today. RadioShack tells me there is no end date set for the promotion, but you can expect the iPhone 5s deal to last until at least June 10. You can find out more about the trade-in details here.

Wow, that is a crazy good deal. I’m not in the market (already under contract) but if I were I’d definitely spring for this. My feeling is that buying at this price is very competitive compared to buying at full price and then going contract free. But someone else can figure that one out.
Remember when buying from places like this not to change your plan during the stated period on the receipt (90 days for RadioShack). Even changing your data plan plan will cost you more than the cost of the unsubsidized phone in fees (plus an ETF if you cancel). I learned the hard way, and it doesn’t help that many employees don’t realize this.
