Thanks guys, DH is a student now, This may be worthwhile if you consider the $40/month we're paying now for his service.

Doing the math.....

Best Buy also has a new page detailing the plan. There is also a $36 activation fee to consider when doing the math.

Someone on SD also mentioned the possibility of using the lowest price guarantee offered on some credit cards, where if you buy something using such a credit card and find the item at a lower price somewhere else, you might get back the difference. YMMV on that, though.

you also still pay the taxes and surcharges and fees on the phone as well. This seems like a great deal, but then I seen the prices of the phones. I was looking for my nephew, my sister pays $55 a month, in the end it appears that it is about the same with the price of the phone and all the extra charges.

either way, thanks for sharing op.
