Next phone...

[jaboop]

I can drain my phones battery from 100% to 60% in one hour even on the lowest brightness. I have unlimited data, and last month I used 14gb of data. I non stop use the internet and play games. I am willing to wait for any phones coming out months from now if anyone knows of any. What is the best phone for me. I absolutly need unlimited data so what carrier would be optimal. I can provide more information and if there is a website that can like ask questions then select a phone may I please have link? Sorry for the annoying post thanks in advance!

jaboop!

tmo and sprint are really the only nation wide carriers that have unlimited data still. Tmo you can get a nexus4 that would be my personal pick, for battery life the moto maxx series is the way to go. take a look at the phones avalible from the carriers then look on here for some insight on them. thats what I normally do. sprint in my area at least has a bit better service then tmo. Im prob going to drop big red for tmoble when my contracts up. tmo is releasing LTE and just got metro pcs in a buy out so their network should be getting better in the near future.
you can always pop an extended battery in your tbolt if you want to get some more use out of it while you shop for a new carrier. if you want to keep vzw and unlimited you can buy a phone retail ( big bucks 500+ for a phone off contract) or a used one. you can get a used galaxy nexus and the like for around 100-300. good luck!

I have extended battery from Amazon. It was very cheap. That made all the difference in the world. I am keeping my Verizon unlimited. I use lots of data myself. Thought about T-mobile no contract unlimited 4G. I just don't trust them to keep that package too long. Galaxy S3 cell phone prices should drop like a rock since the announcement of the S4. Buy your own phone.

If you wanted to save a little money over full retail , wait for a sale and start a new line of service , for example, sams club had the note 2 for $100 on contract. Before, best buy would price match, and you can get the $50gc on top of that if you signed up for it, bringing the price down to $50. Then just pay etf of $350 and one days service, which should be less than $5. So for $455, or $405 with gc, you can have a no contract note 2.the deal isn't good anymore, but I am sure another sale would come up sometime. To me, the savings would be worth it, but it obviously is a bit more hassle

Some stores do have a secondary etf, so you need to be careful of that

Another option if you have a family plan(not the current share everything plan) is to add a line, move the phone to the line you want and put a dumb phone or have Verizon put a dummy phone (nk physical phone) on the line , pay $10 a month, and you can upgrade in 20 months(contract is for two years, but you can upgrade in 20 months.) You would also have to pay the $35 activation fee. And tax, which for me is around $4 a month, but some report as high as $7. If i take my cost of about $14 a month, that would be $280 plus $35, for 20 months at which point, I can upgrade again. Note that you are still under contract until 24 months

I also wanted to keep my unlimited data, so I picked up a barely used DNA for $300. Great phone and I keep data. With the S4 coming out soon, I would imagine you'd be able to pick up a mint, used phone for around the same price I paid for the DNA.
