So I joined sprint 2 yrs ago with EVO 4G, then upgraded to EP touch last year Oct because Sprint gave me a courtesy upgrade (so I still paid 200 bucks last year).
And now I am already itching to get a new device. I am looking at the EVO LTE which frankly I love... but evaluating how I use my device, I figured my biggest peeve right now is actually the network speed.....
I hate waiting for video to load, pages to refresh.. and i don't mind paying more for that... and i realize sprint's LTE is probably not going to do it for me... maybe in 2 years.. but i am tired of waiting for network vision deployment... i am in bay area... and wi max is still spotty at best...
So that brought me to thinking about switching to verizon for GS3.... and i guess my question is.. given I am not even 1 yr into the contract.. i know i would have to pay ETF for sure....
but IF i get gs3 from VZN, am i eligible to the new contract pricing of 200 anyways??? (given it's a different carrier)???
if it is.. then the phone is 200 bucks, and ETF is 300 ish?? ... then total is still 500 bucks??? that's actually CHEAPER than if I were to stay with sprint, and buy the EVO LTE off contract..
is that right???
thanks
