Ok, let me add a wrinkle to this decision making process. I like to have as much information as possible when making a decision. Maybe you can help me.
She graduates in May. She's headed off to grad school. This phone should last her through grad school. This will be the last phone of hers that I pay for.
With that information in hand I'm not limited to sticking with Verizon. Verizon is the only mobile carrier I've ever used for smart phones so I don't know if it makes sense to limit my choices to them. Yes, it's a little cheaper using the family plan but maybe it makes sense to get her a Galaxy Note instead.
So, if you will indulge me, convince me that Verizon is the one to stay with.
If I stay with Verizon for her phone the reduced $199 price tag makes it easier to swallow. Add the almost $50 discount I get with Verizon the $150 or so price is pretty palatable for a 32gb phone.
