I am rapidly approaching my eligibility to upgrade my terribly out-of-date Aria. Naturally, I am eager to get something new, and have begun the research project.
On Amazon Wireless, I see a large difference between the pricing of phone upgrades to individual plans and family plans. For example, if I was on an individual plan and wanted to upgrade to a Galaxy S II, the cost would be $99. However, since I am on a family plan, the cost is $159. This is the case for all devices (Skyrocket = $99 vs. $199).
What gives? Why the big difference between the two? I want to upgrade my wife's phone as well, so that could be an extra $200 in upgrade costs vs. what I would pay if we were two individual plans.
