Losing With Pride Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 If you don't mind being on a plan, the contract is the way to go. Since the CRTC changed the rules, you won't be stuck with a locked phone going forward as of December 1. If you're travelling then I would go with buying it outright.

trek Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Always purchase the phone outright. My current plan is $48 for unlimited nation wide calling / international sms / 5GB data. If I wanted to get an iPhone X on contract that would be $600 for the phone plus 2 years of the plan being $100. $600 + 24*(50) = $1800 And then after the 2 years, the plan remains the same monthly cost (rip off) Outright the iPhone X is $1300. NOPE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I work for AT&T's subsidiary called Cricket Wireless. There are plenty of inexpensive unlocked phones on the market. Feature-wise many are like taking a step back in time but there are some cheap phones that have very good features. One such phone is the LG X Charge. Phone costs just over $130 and has a great camera and a huge battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 1 hour ago, -AJ- said: I'm a little foggy on this. If you buy a phone outright, do you get substantially cheaper plans? My last phone was on a two-year contract and I had a $40/mo. plan. It's kind of the other way around. If you want a phone for "free", you can only get it with certain qualifying plans. Guaranteed, those plans will be significantly more than the one you already have. And once you give up that plan, you can never get it back.

King Heffy Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Being on month-to-month makes the carriers worried. I've had to take multiple to the CCTS to get them to honour their own contracts before. Since I stopped doing contracts, I've magically gotten correct bills without resorting to legal action...

Originally they had me on 6gb data for 48 bucks and 2 months later their loyalty department called me and offered another 4gb for additional 7bucks. So 10gb data 55bucks a month, unlimited canadawide and vm. When I travel I just purchase a simcard from whatever country im in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
