2 year contract was just a subsidy for the phone upfront that you ended up more than paying back via increased service fees...it depends on what plan you have, but the vast majority of people end up paying less overall paying for the phone on installments..these phone companies weren't taking $500 hits on every phone sold lol...and t-mobile won't save you, they're the ones that introduced non-subsidized phones and eliminated 2 year contracts in the US market

What you mean? Once the "lease" is up the phone is yours. I paid off a lease early on my last Sprint phone and don't owe them anything

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Not sure what you mean, but you can pay off the installments at any time ...but I feel you, some people just down fukk with it....I'm on the Next Every Year joint cause I gotta have a new phone every year...and i only end up paying 50% of the phone

Not mine. I pay off a lease wit sprint, and they told me now I have the option buy the phone. I told them eat a dikk and canceled them and kept the phone

Breh, call them back and raise hell. I made them confirm like 3 times that the $240 I was paying all at once was to go to the lease and not the bill. After that I paid my final bill and went to Verizon. My Sprint account shows I owe nothing and Sprint tries to get me back to their service like once a month

Smh at contracts straight up, no hassle no fuss nexus 6p

neither one of y'all nikkas know what the fukk you talking about


a brand new iphone 128 gig retails for 849

you can either buy the phone flat out... do what you want with it... use it as long as you want, then sell the shyt on ebay, throw it in the river, do whatever you want



or



you can make payments on the exact same 849, and pay it over time.... once its paid off..... use it as long as you want, then sell the shyt on ebay, throw it in the river, do whatever you want



or



you can make payments on the exact same 849 for 12 months.... and then turn in your phone after 12 months, which would NOT equal 849... and get the 7 and continue making the payments on the 7

then completely pay off the 7 and it's yours... or only pay for 8 months... and get the 8.... and so on




no different than a car... you can buy it in cash.. make payments until it's yours... or trade it in next year for the new model and start making payments on the new one





att offsets this with a lower monthly plan... i get unlimited everything and 6 gbs data for 39.99 when it used to be 89.99 when i was buying the phones for 299-399 a pop

they are basically saying, no we aren't giving you 500 off the phone anymore, but we will give you 500 off the bills... because we are no longer going to buy these phones and wait 2 years to get our money back.... you buy it your damn self and we'll make our money starting now
