Getting the Note 8 for Metro PCS or Simple Mobile ... Worth It?

1,444 336 August 27, 2017 at 04:52 PM Samsung
My ex is on a terrible verzion plan. I think she's paying 80 and it's not unlimited ... she already had paid off her phone a while back so I think it's time for a switch.

I'm on an ancient T-mobile family plan that I don't plan on getting off of and I'm going to do the trade in deal on Samsung.com with my Note 5 ... however I saw that the phone must be in pristine condition. She has an Iphone 6 and they are offering $200 back on hers and $300 dollars back on mine ... Decided that I'm just going to get 2 Iphone 5's from TotalWireless that are on sale and give those to Samsung for $200 back for her and I ... and then we will just e-bay our normal phones. Bundling that with e-bates or swagbucks, we should get even more cash back.

My question is, should she get the unlocked version or the t-mo version like me for these carriers? I heard the t-mobile version has network video calling which seems to be a plus ... but with the unlocked version, she can practically go to any carrier if Metro or Simple suck ... Is it worth it to do this to get an unlimited plan for her ? Any advice is appreciated thanks.

LOL "terrible" Verizon plan? At least you'll get service with Verizon, Everyone else is spotty unless you live in a city. I used to work cell phone sales, and we had tons of issues with Tmobile, none with Verizon.

FYI, Verizon has unlimited now.
