Hello, community -
I've been a customer with TMobile for over 8 years or so. Well, Technically TMobile bought out my old company Suncom back in 07. I've never switched a thing.
I have never upgraded my phone, I usually get phones from friends and family the hand-me-downs. I've only once upgraded my plan once which required a contract extension.
As of now I am not under any contractual obligations for over 3 years.
I want to upgrade my phone to an Android device. (SmartPhone)
Problems is I am cheap customer, I pay my bill on time every month and never go over my plan.
I roughly pay $56 a monthly which included 500 minutes and unlimited text. I barely go over 200 minutes a month and probably a few hundred texts.
Every time I go into my TMobile page, and look at the upgrade options I can never find a decent price. Sure all new customers get the latest and greatest for practically free and I'm almost a ten year customer and can't catch a break.
So I'm thinking to look for a used Android device, maybe here, and switch from being a billed customer to a pay as you go. Why? Well if I get a new phone they all require a DATA package and such a package will bring me close to $80 a month.
So the $30 or $50 prepaid packages sounds like a better deal to me, then signing up for a new plan, having to pay for decent device ($150-$200) and then paying more per month.
See the problem? I suspect if I can get a phone with WiFi and do WiFi calling the $30 prepaid option with 100 minutes is enough for me.
What do you guys think? Recommendations? Feedback? All is welcome.
Best regards,
Trek
