Phone cost: $399.99 (no contract)
Plan cost: $119.99
So over the course of that 2 year contract, $16 per month. With the plan and the phone both factored in, that is about $136 per month on T-Mobile- with no contract. Im talking bout this..the extra 16 a month..
Sprint Everything Data 1500 with Hero:
Phone cost: $179.99 (with 2 year contract)
Plan cost: $129.99
So over the course of that 2 year co0ntract, the phone costs $7 per month. So with the plan and the phone both factored in, it costs about $137, and that is WITH a 2 year contract. Vs paying the 179 for the hero..upfront meaning your still paying 129.99 before taxes. Thats how people think..they would have a lower monthly payment and a higher up front cost.. so with the t-mobile deal its better to buy the phone upfront.. but if u do installments vs the same plan with sprint. after u pay 179 for the hero then sprint is cheaper. thats my point
So, again, T-Mobile comes out cheaper. If you get some kind fo discount on Sprint, fine- that will obviously play into it. But for the average joe T-Mobile is cheaper, and they don't even require a contract.
And this is all taken straight from the websites, no hunting for secret deals or discounts...

There is no extra $16 per month man, lol. I was saying if you took the cost of the device and averaged it out over 2 years (since we were comparing it to a 2 year Sprint contract) it would equal $16 per month. The price per month is $119.99 on T-Mobile. It's $129.99 on Sprint.
If you WANT you can break the cost of the device up intp up to 20 payments, not 24. But you certainly don't have to, you can pay for it up front if that's your thing. Or you could even pay $180 up front (the cost of the Sprint phone) and break up the remaining $120 if you want. $120 / 20 = an extra $6 per month. And that is only for 20 months, the last 4 months would be even cheaper. So it is still cheaper than Sprint.
No matter how you slice it man, T-mobile is cheaper.
