I really want an iPhone but can't afford it?

I really want an iPhone, and I tried talking my mom into letting me get an iPhone from Sprint, however she is dropping Sprint in a few days because our bill was over $500 for overage fees, even though we have unlimited data, texting, and calling. Their customer service sucks and every month our bill changes and its to expensive. My mom is dropping them and going to straight talk because they're way cheaper. So if I want an iPhone I have to get it off contract price. But no contract means the phone is $500+. I don't have that kind of money and my mom said if I want an iPhone I have to pay for it myself. The most I could probably afford is $300 tops maybe $350. Is there any way I can get the iPhone 5C for under $300, without a contract? I was thinking Amazon, but they're more expensive than I thought it would be. How do people afford iPhones off contract? Thats like $600!

Don't tell me to get an android, because I've owned several android phones and they are awful. Every android phone I've had laggs really bad and is slow and the touch screen only works half the time. I've gone through so many different android phones. I like the iPhone.

You can do some part time job to earn money by yourself.

Hey you I know how you feel sprint sucks I have AT&T and let me tell you the service it's great I got unlimited calls and text I pay 90 dollars I have a iPhone but I bought it with the contract it cost me 400 dollars with the contract for 2 years. I you are underage you can do several jobs around the house like cleaning the dishes taking out the trash or you can go around the neighbor hood and find something you can give your services if your still in school there's a lot of summer jobs or after jobs at the mall you can get one if you are 16 you can ask one your parents they sign the form to let you work after school or summer it's a great way to earn money and you can buy the phone and pay for the cellphone bill

Good luck and change to AT&T it's the best

Ohh I recommend you don't buy a iPhone online or a previous owner my cousin bought a iPhone from some guy over the internet and the iPhone was stolen.

Earn the iPhone for your self is always going to let you win, but if you already have handful cash then try ebay bidding and if you are lucky you can get off-contract phone in your budget - Trust me it needs patience and luck, i have won an iphone 5 for $ 222. So eye on bids is key and in mean time you may take up a job and increase the budget.

Unsure if its legal in your country to use unlock phones via Rsim which I guess is the cheapest option to use locked phones - you may try out if its legal.

Earn the money yourself by working. You will enjoy the iPhone.

Which iPhone do you want? You can search the sencond-hand market to find a satisfied one, such as iPhone 4s, iPhone 5. It will be cheaper than the new one. Of course, it is necessary to make sure if you need.

Overcharges means its your own fault for not monitoring it. Get 4S which is free on a 2 year contract then monitor your data to make sure you aren't going over.

Either something is wrong with Sprint's billing system, or you are misunderstood about your account's plan features, and that's why you're running into overages.

If you're on the Everything Data Share 1500/3000 plan, you do NOT have unlimited calling. You have either 1500 or 3000 anytime minutes, unlimited nights/weekends, and unlimited calling to/from mobile phones (as long as you aren't roaming). If you want unlimited calling, you would need to be on the Unlimited My Way plan, or the new Framily Plan.
