Wallet Hub put together a cell phone contract calculator, then used that calculator to analyze the cost of owning an iPhone 6 on various carriers, both with an without a contract.
If you find the numbers a little hard to understand, this article by CBS Money Watch’s Kathy Kristof does a nice job of explaining the implications.
And that is why I buy my phone for full price, and use the $30 a month for 5GB of data and 100 talk min plan from T-Mobile.
I’m thinking of switching to T-mobile. How do I get that plan? I don’t see it on their website.
Nice comparison. I wish it covered the smaller MNVOs, too.
Got one for Canada?
I’m biased – but i’d suggest using whistleout dot com or whistleout dot ca (urls removed as i’m assuming otherwise they’ll be flagged as spam but, sincerely, only posting because these sites are specifically created (and new) for this purpose).
