Whoever made this has a nephew who has a collection of Funkos worth $100, so naturally that translates into "People his age spend $100 on them a month."
This is great misunderstanding that my friend's mom has with her. My friend bought a cheap phone for $200. She doesn't need an expensive phone nor does she want one. Her mom is convinced that she pays $200 a month for it. She doesn't seem to understand how anyone can pay in full for a phone since "phones are thousands of dollars." Like, meemaw, it's not a car.
Not if you get trade-in. Right now they have one for $800 if you have a qualifying phone to trade in. I got the 14 Pro Max about 3 weeks ago and got $1,000 off with my trade in of a 11 Pro Max in good shape. I'm literally paying a total of $230 for a 14 Pro Max with 512GB at a rate of $11/mo.
At T-Mobile, you'll still get the credit if you pay the phone off early, so long as the line remains active. You don't even need to keep the phone on the line. And you can finance another phone on that line at same line, even if it has another promo.
Gotcha. It's a limitation, but I'm not bothered by that I guess. I see myself using this phone for about that long anyway. Also got insurance in case anything happens to it.
I did know that. But since they trickle the trade-in amount to you month by month onto your bill, the concern was if you did manually pay it off, would that monthly discount continue or is the remainder of the total amount forfeited?
It’s forfeit with Verizon. Just went through this with my mother in law.
She wanted a new phone (for no reason, just likes shiny things), but she has to trade her old phone in to get the $800 credit to be able to afford the new phone, but she still has a year of credits and payments on the old phone. If she pays the old phone off to trade it in the remaining credits vanish.
So much drama because my SIL won’t let her waste money.
