Hey all. I have five months left on Verizon (two year contract), and use a subsidized Galaxy S4 as my daily driver. I'd like to jump ship from Big Red to little magenta because (believe it or not) the coverage is better on Tmo.
I understand I have to relinquish my phone and buy a new phone on the spot if I want to take advantage of their ETF reimbursement policy, but would prefer to keep my S4 and sell it as it's a 32MB rooted / unlocked bootloader variant. I found a site that says Tmo will take any working VZW phone. My mother has an older LG flip phone that still works.
Can I really substitute the flip phone? Also, for the second half of the equation, couldn't I technically just buy the cheapest phone they offer, sell it, then get what I really want (Note 4) off eBay?
Am I missing anything? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
