Which option below do you think is best? If I had a shiny new 0% interest credit card & the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact was released, this wouldn’t even be a question. It isn’t November and I have to make a decision today.
My Droid Razr Maxx HD was originally approved for warranty replacement a year ago, but I didn't want to give up my sd card or 32 GB storage. Now it is catastrophically worse and its warranty expired 9/14/15. I have unlimited data on Verizon Wireless. I don’t really have the money for any of the options and I’m not comfortable taking on more debt.
Options:
First, gamble $300 non refundable fee for warranty (expired 9/14) on a lemon phone I don’t want. There's a risk because of micro usb charge port issues, even though they've nothing to do with the power, call impact, sd slot failure covered warranty issues. $300 can buy a lot more refundable phone.
Second, spend $100 on an insurance replacement lemon that I don’t want that is worth the same or even less than the Droid Razr Maxx HD I have.
Third, Spend $110 to $250 getting another Droid Razr Maxx HD, which is riskier and really it is past upgrade time.
Fourth, Going to T-mobile time will save me $41-60 a month on my phone bill, open up my phone options, get me unlimited minutes, keep unlimited 4G data, faster signal (and lately a stronger one in my area), while costing me more money in the short term including peripherals, complicate getting a Z5, and decrease US coverage map.
Fifth, is a lot like the fourth, only taking stupid risks with this crappy phone, until I’ve got the 0% interest card in my hands.
Sixth, I don’t see the point in buying a different Verizon phone I don’t want at full retail + tax & interest.
Continue waiting with serious risks professionally and personally until brick, money or November. I wanted to stop doing this a week ago already.
Update:
Additional unknown option was payment plan at Best Buy one a new Verizon phone.
It just makes cents to go to T mobile. The only debate left is about how long should I risk the consequences of my messed up phone, so I can get the phone I want (at least it should be less than 45 days, hopefully it will be less than two weeks).
