How much is the iPhone 5s in the US w/out contract?
My dad is in the US and he's planning on bringing me home an iPhone. How much would unlocking it would cost here in the Philippines?
Probably like $800.
Here's how each plan works:
AT&T's Next plan is a lot like leasing a car. Users have to commit to paying a monthly fee for one-year, and after 12 months of payments they can exchange their device for a new one.
Customers who want a 16 GB iPhone 5c pays $22 each month. After a year, or after having paid a total of $264, they can exchange it for another device. The customer can continue to pay without upgrading and own the device outright after 20 payments totaling $440.
For a 16 GB iPhone 5s, it's $27 a month, or $324, to upgrade.It'd be a total of $540 to own it outright in 20 months.
When upgrading to a new phone, the customer has the option to buy it a subsidized price with a two-year service contract, purchase it outright, or sign up for the upgrade plan.
With Verizon Edge, customers also have the option to upgrade to a new phone after a year of paying a monthly fee.
But under the Verizon plan, customers have the option of upgrading in six months. However, they have to pay whatever amount remains on the one-year payment plan.
For instance, a customer with a 16 GB iPhone 5c has to pay $23.06 a month for 12 months to be able to get a new phone. If they were to upgrade in six months, they would have to pay an additional $136.64, or six months of monthly payments remaining on the plan.
For a 16 GB iPhone 5s on the Edge plan, customers have to pay $27.15 a month for a year. If the customer wants to upgrade six months earlier, they would have to pay $162.10.
The payments are required even if the customer drops their Verizon wireless service. Customers can also choose to simply pay off their device by making payments for two years.
With Sprint One Up, customers have to sign up for a $65 a month wireless service plan, which includes unlimited talk, text and data and pay a monthly fee to be able to upgrade their phone in a year.
Sprint also charges users a monthly fee for whichever device they get. The company did not say how much the iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s cost on the Sprint One Up plan.
T-Mobile's Jump plan makes it possible for customers to upgrade their devices twice in the span of 12 months, although they must wait at least six months before making their first smartphone upgrade.
In addition to a monthly fee, the customer has to pay $10 a month to enroll in the plan, which includes insurance.
The 16-gigabyte iPhone 5c from T-Mobile doesn't require a down payment, but customers who get it will have to pay $22 each month plus another $10 for the Jump plan. After six months they can upgrade to another device or they can keep the device after making 24 monthly payments, which would total out at $768 with Jump payments included.
T-Mobile customers who want a 16 GB iPhone 5s will be required to make a $99 down payment. They'll also have to pay $22.91 each month plus $10 for the Jump plan. Users can also upgrade after six months or keep the device after 24 months, which totals out to $888.84 with Jump payments included.
Users can leave T-Mobile and the Jump plan at any point, but if they do, the remaining balance on their device becomes due (this would not include additional Jump payments).
If you wish to have it unlocked in the Philippines, unlocking an iPhone would probably cost you $50.
- Should I get iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S? No contract or with contract? I don't know what exactly is so much better with the 5 compared to 4S? I'm thinking to get it with no contract because I'll be in Europe over the summer so I'll need another contract over there for a few months so that likely wouldnt work if I got a 2 year contract here in the US is the 5 much more expensive than the 4s? and does the price vary a lot if I buy with/without contract?
- Is the iPhone 5s better with a contract or no contract? Which is cheaper? I was thinking about getting an iPhone 5s and I was just wondering if no contract or contract was cheaper. I saw that T- mobile offered a no contract deal, yes I know you have to pay it all up front. I just want to know which would be cheaper in the long run.
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- Is it better to buy a iphone with a contract or without a contract? Because with a contract you have to pay monthly fees $60 - $100 and without a contract you pay more for the phone without the monthly fees
