Microsoft 365 Basic normally costs $1.99 per month, so you’ll save about $12 over the six-month offer.

NOT SO BASIC

Despite being called Microsoft 365 Basic, this offering is anything but.

You get great benefits for a very low cost – even after the six-month free period ends.

The main benefit is 100GB of cloud storage, which can store files, photos, videos, and emails.

Here’s what Microsoft says: “With six months of Microsoft 365 Basic, you get essential features benefits like 100 GB of cloud storage, secure, ad-free email with Outlook, additional protections for photos and files, and access to support experts for help with Microsoft 365 when you need it.”

You can also link storage directly to your Samsung device, so you can back up your smartphone photos with Microsoft.

CAN YOU CLAIM MICROSOFT FREEBIE FROM SAMSUNG?

Millions of Samsung phone owners will be eligible for this offer.

All you need is a Samsung phone that supports OneDrive-Gallery Sync and runs Android 8.0 or later.

How to bring back Samsung’s old navigation gestures

You will need to be a new customer who does not have an existing OneDrive or Microsoft 365 subscription.

If you are a US Verizon customer, you will not be eligible.

And the offer can only be claimed once per customer per device.

You can’t combine it with any other Microsoft offer, and the opportunity to claim the deal ends on June 30, 2024.

Once the six-month trial period ends, you’ll be charged the regular rate – so you’ll need to cancel early if you don’t want to pay.

HOW TO CLAIM SAMSUNG MICROSOFT FREEBIE

Redeeming this offer is extremely easy.

Just go to the Gallery app settings on your Samsung device.
