Time is up on the current Verizon plan next month. Im considering switching my wife to Sprint. Since moving to our new house, both of our phones have gotten really terrible service because our house is down in a hole/behind a huge hill. My work phone is Sprint (no real choice there). If I get her on a Sprint plan, I can buy a signal booster for the house so we can both get better service.
So here is where Im confused: the different plans. You can now lease a phone, or you can do the traditional service plan. She will be getting the iPhone 6 16GB.
Here is the breakdown of pricing
Lease:
Phone cost: $20/month for the 24 month lease (the only option they give me)
service: $50 for unlimited text, voice and data.
Total monthly: $70 (before all that extra stuff they add in)
Total cost for 2 years: $1680
Service Plan
Phone Cost: $200 up front
Service : $85/month unlimited text, voice and data.
Total Monthly: $85 (before extra stuff they add in)
Total for 2 years: $2240
Has anyone made the switch to the newer pricing schemes the cell companies are doing now? How exactly does upgrading work? Since you arent getting a subsidized phone, presumably would you be able to get an upgrade for some sort of fee just about any time you wanted? The lease plan seems like a no brainer once its all added up. Id appreciate anyone who can share their experience!
