I'm with ALL of you folks who replied. I am already due for an upgrade on Verizon and passed. My contract ends at the end of this month (May 30th) and I have been researching and looking around for the best deal for my next phone and/or plan. I currently have Verizons old $30 Unl Data & Text with 450 mins Talk time. I know I can't upgrade because I would have to give up my Unl data and switch to their new plans. I've thought about T-Mobile but, paying for an expensive phone over 24 months is crazy. Yes, it'll be through installments i.e $70 Unl Everything plan plus $20 a month for 24 mos plus one of their insurances if I would opt for one of the newer phones (Samsung Galaxy S IV or HTC One). I've thought about buying a phone outright, preferably Googles Nexus 4 by LG for $350.00 through Google Play. At the moment I am currently stuck on what to do. These carriers are getting crazy and monopolizing has gotten out of hand. I just read online that T-Mobile is looking HARD to purchasing Metro PCS soon, which will make all Metro PCS phone inoperable. Don't ask me how but thats all the specific information the site gave as far as Metro PCS current mobile customers. So T-Mobile is trying hard to broaden their network and compete with the heavy-weight champ in Verizon Wireless. I just might go backward and get a flip phone as I already have a Nexus 7.
