I have figured out the cheapest option for me to get a new phone is to, either go to AT&T or sprint for an iPhone, and cancel my contract on Verizon. It would be 850$ for me to get a new 64gb iPhone 5 on my Verizon. But only 600$ the other way.
Seem like a good idea?
My iPhone 4S stopped working so I do need a new one.

Bring your 4S to the Apple Store and they'll replace it for $200.

I don't have AppleCare or anything.

 

[KoukiFC3S]

I don't have AppleCare or anything.

The $200 replacement cost is without Applecare.

It's considered an out of warranty replacement and does not require AppleCare.

Hmmm this might work.

Its $229 for OOW replacement with your old phone exchanged

What do u mean, "might work"?

It's a fact. It's $199 for a 16g 4S OWR.

It's just a phrase, he's not actually questioning whether or not it will work.

That's for the iPhone 5.

OP has a 4S.

 

[skitzogreg]

OP has a 4S.

But pretty much all iPhone 5's are in warranty?

If its for a 16gb then no it's not going to work. 16gb is a joke. I have filled up my 64 multiple times.

It should be $200 for the same model you are exchanging, so you'll get a 64GB one. Call up your local Apple store to confirm.

Its $199 for an out of warranty replacement 4S. You will get the same model, color and storage capacity.
$229 for an iphone 5.

Summarize

Without Applecare, $229 to replace a damaged iPhone 5? At the Apple Store?

Seriously...

Learn how to type a proper subject line. I want my click back.

Yes, cracked, water damaged, whatever.

If your credit card has the free 1 year extended warranty, you can get the cost of replacement/repair refunded. Look into it before shelling out cash.

He's not u and 16g is the top selling model. And I know a TON of people with 16's that have hundreds of songs and pics, 30-40 apps, and still have 6 or 7 gig. Personally, 32 works perfectly for me.

They must have poor quality songs and simple apps if thats the case. I have 30 apps and 800 songs, the thing is full.

Everything is going cloud...so less space

Actually, the cheapest way to go is to purchase the unsubsidized phone through the apple reservation system online (10pm - 4am daily) and then go into the store to pick it up and tell them you want to pay the full unsubsidized price for the phone. I believe a iPhone 5 64gb model will cost $849 + tax. Then basically use the ATT unlock request online submission form to ask for iPhone 5 unlock. Basically within 2 hours they will send you an email requesting a copy of the original receipt and the phone's IMEI#. Within a couple of hours after that they will approve your iPhone 5 unlock and provide you steps to unlock it (very easy just connect to itunes and restore the phone to factory settings).

Then for true cost savings go to a cheap no contract carrier like H2O wireless or metro PCS. I already calculated I would be saving about $400/year on average by dropping the big three (ATT/Sprint/Verizon).

I already did this and I have an iPhone 5 16GB White (Unlocked)

Well you must have a faulty device because u should have a ton of space left. You could store about 3500 songs on 16gig.

^^ this. I've got over 4000 songs @ around 20 gig on my iPhone - all ripped through iTunes.
