Problem with that is, the warranty wont cover the phone if you buy it from a 3rd party (craigslist, ebay, some of those cell phone websites.) the 2 year contract is a month to month thing, unless you mean pre paids which can be JUST as expensive as post paid plans if you were to buy a smartphone. Plus it's all dependent on how many minutes you use per month.mikkel wrote:
A good deal is buying the phone unlocked, if possible, and having a month-to-month plan. You'll usually end up having saved $50-$100 after the two years that a contract would've run, and you can sell your phone to cover some of the loss if you want to switch to an incompatible carrier. Still only a good deal by American standards, though.UnkleRukus wrote:
There is no such thing as a good deal when it comes to wireless devices and plans. Good phones cost 500$+ when bought at retail price, so they make you sign a 2 year contract for a discounted price. You're locked into that contract and you have to pay a nasty fee if you want out. During that contract you need to pay for extras, like insurance, texting, data packages (this is for verizon anyways) and various other services.Macbeth wrote:
I hope we at least get a good deal on the new phones we have to get since we are going to get fucked when it comes to our plans.
