So I dropped my 1-year-old Samsung S20 phone and the screen just went out :( I still owe about $450 on it from AT&T. It's on a $10 a month special deal with bill credit totaling $300 out of pocket if I finish the deal in the next few years. However, I need a new phone and if I want to get another phone from AT&T I have to pay off the remaining balance of $450 because I'm breaking the payment plan.
Here are the options I am looking at.
A: get it professionally repaired by replacing the screen for $275. Comes with a new screen and battery with a 90 days manufacturer warranty. Keep paying the $10 AT&T payment until it's fully paid off.
B: payoff the balance with AT&T $450 and then get the Samsung 20FE for $10 or $15 a month depending on storage size (no trade-in needed). Phone price with the carrier is $340 for 128GB version or $230 for 256 GB a month.
I wouldn't mind getting the S20FE because the screen size is a bit larger t than my broken S20. But realistically me paying to get the phone repaired make more sense.
