Is it stupid to buy a prepaid iphone 4s for $450?

I want to go with a prepaid plan as i don't want the stress of a monthly cell phone bill.i'm 20 and a full time student in nursing school so i don't need any more headaches lol.i've been dying for an iphone but i don't want to be totally irresponsible.

Prepaid is not bad I actually prefer it cause you don't need to stress about monthly bills even though it cost more but you'll save money since you can choose any service you like with the right hack

You can get a used 4S or $200-$250 on craigslist then get a prepaid sim for free plus plan $45
so ya its stupid to buy for $450

No I would get it and don't listen to the guy talking about Craigslist because prepaid is most likely always cdma which means that you can't use a sim for it and you can only buy it and use it for that company but ya I would definitely get it it will last u long the only difference between that and the iphone 5 is the screen and newer headphones but I would suggest you get it for virgin mobile they have great service great customer service http://www.virginmobileusa.com
