Most people would love a free iPhone. That’s why many companies are offering free iPhones as a promotional offer.
Due to requests, we’ve put together a list of sites and companies, such as Google and Threadless, currently offering free iPhones. Many of them are contests and giveaways.
For the sake of completeness, we’ve included a small number of sites with free offers and cash prizes. We also included sites who have offered iPhones in the past, and are likely to do so again.
Some contests expired in July, October, but we’ll update this page to add recent contests. Commenters are welcome to share their experiences of the various contests.

Free iPhone Offers
Of course, there’s nothing free about these offers. The catch is they want you to do an action, which can range from creating an account on ebay, buy DVDs, or subscribe to a magazine. The good news is many of these offers don’t require you to purchase anything (e.g: creating an account on ebay) but you’ll need to refer many friends. They get money from those sponsors, so they can afford to send you an iPhone.
Bottom line: It’s worth it if you have many friends, or already planned on buying what they’re offering.
GiftMonkey will give you a free iPhone if you live in the USA or some cash to buy it if you live outside of the USA. Residents of many countries are accepted, and many offers are free. Example of an offer that doesn’t require you to purchase anything is creating an account on eBay.
YourFreeiPhone This one gives you either a free 4GB or a free 8GB Apple iPhone, or enough cash to buy a free iPhone of each kind, or a free Apple store gift card. Only for residents of the US or Canada.
