Re: thinking about a new phone
When I get a phone, I keep it for a long time. Don't really get excited about having the latest and greatest.
It's similar to buying a car with cash upfront or making a monthly payment. Almost always a better deal paying upfront.Even though most consumers may only pay $200 up front for a high-end smartphone with a two-year service contract (plus the $35 upgrade fee), they still pay full price for that phone through the monthly service fee.
