How do I buy a smartphone?
Sounds like a dumb question, but hear me out. I'm 17, and ever since I got a job at a fast food joint I've been wanting to get myself a new phone with my own money. I currently own a cheap $50 Samsung that my mom bought for me, and I'm part of a family plan (Metro PCS) where the four members of my family pay a total of $100 for 4gb of data each, per month.
My question is if I wanted to buy myself a more expensive phone ($200 - $300), how would I go about doing this? Does the phone HAVE to be one of the ones Metro PCs has on display? What if I wanted to buy a used iPhone from somewhere else? Can I do that? How? Any info will be appreciated
It has to be unlocked to the AT&T, Cricket, T-Mobile, and Metro PCS system of phones so if used most previously Verizon or Sprint phones will not work.
I haven't tried buying a used phone form Swappa or ebay. I have tried buying used from Amazon and paid the extra in case it didn't work and it didn't work online sadly the merchant was out of phones that worked with my phone company, Project Fi, when I returned it.
- Which smartphone should i buy? Samsung galaxy J7 or iphone SE. I have been warned not to buy iphone but I don't understand why, any idea. if not these, what smart phone should i buy?
- Which smartphone should i buy (iphone 5s 16gb or 32gb) or htc one? I'm not bound to any budget. The only thing is that i should the satisfaction for what i buy. Now i'm an android user(htc desire v) but it runs slowly and usually hangs so i'm changing my phone. I'm in india so i don't want to buy it on contract.
- Should I get an android or iphone smartphone? I'm considering whether or not to get a smartphone. I've never had one before and now that I can afford it, I'd like to own one. Which one do you think I should go with an android phone or an iphone?
- Should I buy an iPhone over an Android-Smartphone? What really attracts me to android devices is the HD large screen, features such as DLNA (for wirelessly streaming media from the phone to a compatible TV or computer -like in HTC devices-) and lastly, more storage as per price. please share.
