We are a family of 3. We have a "1 GB Better Choice XS-Unl 2G Shared Data," which basically means that once we reach 1G of shared data, we no longer have data despite what the plan says - I mean I can't even refresh my email during this period and between us 3 using our GPS and random things on our phone we go through our 1G within a week of a new month. We are quite unhappy with this, but we were paying close to $300 a month before with the next plan up. We are now paying $150.
Here is the issue. Before I came on /r/Frugal and looked to see what it had to offer, we leased one of the phones on our lines. So 2 iphones are owned and bought, but one iphone is leased through Sprint for $31/month for 18 months. We have 12 months left on the lease. That puts the remaining lease commitment at $372 and then if I decide to purchase the phone, it is $192.
So my question to you is, seeing how unhappy we are with this service, should we deal with it and finish out the lease and then purchase the phone, or should we just pay off the lease commitment, purchase the phone, and then switch to a different carrier. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you!
