A:AnswerI am sure that you can use your BestBuy credit card to purchase iPhone XS Max ($1,099) and yet keep your current carrier (cricket). Make sure to ask BestBuy Apple sales associate if there is any promotion going on financing. I believe during holiday season, they offer 18 months free financing on large purchases. However, keep in mind, you need to pay off before promotion expires (within 18 months). So I would crunch numbers first to see if you can budget $1,099 within 18 months or so to pay off. Easy way to pay off is just to make minimum amount due plus $61.06 for next 18 months to make sure that you can take advantage of free financing.
A:AnswerThis is a very loaded question....
What is a decent monthly payment in your opinion?
Decent monthly payments multiplied by the term deduct that from the total cost and you have a down payment.
A:Answer1.) AT&T international calling plan sales will have an exact answer.
2.) I’ve heard something similar, and it’s basically imposed by the foreign countries that naturally want their residents to use their services & vice versa. I’m not sure, but I believe you are allowed to bring your phone to use while on “holiday” for up to six months. Either way, you’d have to be a fool or a multi-millionaire to travel without first getting the CORRECT/BEST international calling AND DATA plan before heading out! They will answer your questions even before you buy the plan based on your usage. Usage rates are incredibly lower than they were just a few years ago. I learned the hard way about 10 years ago, and have kept up with the changes as the years go by!

A:AnswerAs far as I know, there is no down-payment; it's simply a payment plan - ie) $52/month for the Xs Max with 256GB (on Verizon) for 24 months. Of course, you'll be able to make increased payments to pay it off earlier, but it'll be $52/month until the balance is paid in full. To pay more on any given month simply means you'll have the phone paid off sooner than 24 months. If you pay $208 one month, that'll mean you'll have the phone paid off 4 months earlier, but you'll still have a $52 payment the next month. I hope that helps.
