This concerns buying a new unlocked Samsung phone for my daughter, but should also apply to my next iPhone as well. She has a Samsung 5 something which is too old to trade in but she is used to the Android operating system. I believe it is better to buy the phone outright, then to buy with a 24 month contract with Verizon. Does that make sense, especially if you will be sticking with Verizon for the next two years anyway? I understand the future value of money and all the economics that can be calculated to blow your mind, but I just want to have a phone without having the hassle of being beholden to a carrier.
I have the simplest plan for my iPhone, $30 per month for 500 MB per month. Heavy user I am not. I mainly use it as a phone. Waze when traveling. If I'm stuck waiting in the Drs office i may check the news. I do some texting. In about 3 years, I have never ran over my usage. I use my iMac for mail, news, etc. My daughter, like most of the younger generations prefer their cell phones for most everything. The screen is so %$&@*#ing small!!
