1 year contract vs 2 year contract

[TheRealBigRich]

I plan on getting the note 2 this weekend and after looking at the difference between a 1 year or 2 year contract. I figure its most likely I am going to get a new phone by next year so I really want to do the 1 year contract. the only problem is it comes with a upfront cost of $550.00. I figure I would be better off doing the 2 year and paying 300 now and after about a year when the ETF goes down to around $200 I could just terminate my contract and it would only total. $500. Im not sure if there is any more repercussions with terminating my contract and then signing a contrat with AT&T again. I just wanted ppl thought about this ?

Just get a Nexus device for $350 and don't bother signing another contract with att.

I am on Verizon and got my note 2 for $37 from best buy a while back. If i wanted an off contract phone, I can pay the $350 etf and approximately $5 one days usage to get the note 2 for under $400 no contract. I realize that this is an att forum, however, the verizon note 2 is factory sim unlocked and will work on att, but may have some limitations. Anyway, If you aren't in a hurry, wait for a deal, you should be able to get a better price, perhaps from third party retailers. Just read all the terms, some third party will charge an additional fee if you make certain changes within 181 days.

AKA Amazon! But good advice. Terms do say on some third party retailers that they will charge you a fee.

I did think about getting it from Amazon for 200 and paying the etf but your right I have to look at there policy. @gardner I would like the nexus but I want a LTE device for some reason. I thought that the note 2 would get some type of price reduction since the sg4 coming out soon but that doesn't seem to be happening. Its really making me think about just getting S4 just to get the latest tech instead of something 6 months old

It will have a huge limitation, no LTE. Verizon uses different LTE bands than AT&T.
