I'm paying ~$50 less a month for 2 phones and paying $100 more for the phone $0 of you include the $299 phones on upgrade. That's $1k over 2 years. If you keep the phone for 3 years it's 1k on a single plan.
How much do you pay a month? If it's >$75 you'll save $1k by moving to a $30 T-Mobile plan.
i pay 79.99 with sprint for unlimited data/texts and 450 anytime minutes with unlimited mobile-to-mobile. i looked at my minutes the other day 1 day before a new month began, and i've used 0 minutes that weren't nighttime or mobile-to-mobile. i also get a discount through sprint that i wouldn't have if i switch, but i won't even include that.
assume a normal new phone at 199 now with 80/month for 24 months is 2120.
assume you have to pay 10/month more to get up to 2.5GB data seems pretty reasonable making it 60/month + 50 now + 17/month to pay off the phone is 1900.
that's a savings of 220.
if i lose my discount and switched, it would cost me about 250 MORE.
so, yeah, let people figure it out for themselves probably.
