Just was looking for some clarification as to the pros/cons of getting a new phone and signing up for a 2 yr contract vs a 1 yr contract. These are things that I've heard:
-If you sign a 2 yr contract, you can get a new phone after 1 yr at the 2 yr contract price if you sign a new 2 yr contract.
-I know 1 yr contracts, you pay like $50 or so more for the new phone, which is fine.
-Some of these offers only work if you have a plan of X$$ or more. I usually get the cheapest minutes plan (usually 39.99).
So, questions I have are:
-If I buy a new phone with a 1 yr contract, would I be able to get a new phone at the 9 or 10 month mark? Would the new phone have to be a 2 yr contract, or could I do another 1 yr contract? I wanna know what the exact rules are, not instances where "they did it for me even though they shouldn't have" or "I had to talk to 8 different people for them to allow it."
-Do these "re-upping early" deals work if I only have the 39.99 voice plan? I've heard some people say you have to have at least 49.99 or 59.99 plans.
I'm probably going to be buying an Incredible when it comes out, but i want to have flexibility down the road if I want to upgrade my phone to something bigger/better and not be stuck with the same phone for 2 years if something else catches my eye. Any answers/advice would be helpful.........thanks!
