Need advice on new phone and contract..

**rhcreed** · 08-08-2012, 07:47 PM

OK, Verizon customer, inc2, almost ready for upgrade.. here's what I want to do,

1- save some $$ - have two phones and plan is $180 a month,
2 - want a current device with community support or manufacturer updates,

Thinking of getting a nexus phone, maybe throw it on a pay-as-u-go plan, I don't mind buying my own phone, if it's going to stay current and save me some $$ over the few years I have it.

I would prefer to stay on Verizon if possible,

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thx!

$180 is very expensive for two phones.... Verizon now offer shared plan and it would be cheaper than what you pay...

Nope,

1 . Amazon price only for renewal :-(
2. Verizon share plan changes my price not at all...

I really wish this was true, I called and walked through it with them and the change was less than $1 .

Wish they had a pay as you go like Tmo, I use barely any data..

Straight Talk has a couple of Verizon phones. $45/month/phone = $90/month, half of what you're paying. Unlimited talk and text, about 2GB/month data, throttling after that.

Or you can go with AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint (whichever is better for you) for the same price. Using AT&T's or T-Mobile's networks, you can buy any phone that will work on those networks, With Sprint and Verizon you can only use the phones that ST (or Walmart) sells.
