I do that instead of financing or buying from the store because the price tags on the phones at the phone store are much higher. Also brand new phones usually offer very little compared to phones from a year earlier.


After all, why pay $1000 for a phone that offers very little over the previous model when the same phone can be bought for under $300 6-12 months later?
I'm with you there about first wave tech gadgets, including phones. I know that I can bring into service unlocked phones. Sometimes, I snag one on sale. I'm a fan of my LG Stylo first gen. Though I'm considering a new phone in the near distant future 6months-1 year, I'm also waiting around to see what transpires with 5G technology.
