A:AnswerI believe the monthly installment plan varies by carrier. Since I’m an AT&T customer, I took the 30 month plan therefore I will always pay an additional $41.67/month on top of my rate plan until the phone is paid off. Other carriers may be less/more. I’m not sure if personal credit is a factor. I suggest talking to a Best Buy associate, they should be able to answer that.
A:AnswerYes you can upgrade through Best Buy. I did it on Black Friday. They don’t take the phone though, they give you a padded envelope with a prepaid shipping label and you will ship it back to Verizon yourself! I mailed mine back last week and I got an email confirming that Verizon received it back and they credited my account the balance owed. It was very easy! Also, if you upgrade through Best Buy every year, they give you a $25 credit towards your upgrade every year.
A:AnswerDepending on your service provider and what size GBs your trying to have for storage. It will be in detail on your contract at the time of getting the phone and on your bill.
A:AnswerBest Buy will tell you the price increase. I put myself on a different plan and that offset the price increase. Best Buy is the best for saving you money.
A:AnswerIt depends on which model you purchase. I know that the unlocked and Verizon versions work internationally. Other carrier models should support the required radio bands for Israel, but they may be carrier locked.
A:AnswerActually yes! if you're running Straight Talk through the AT&T platform then buy an AT&T phone and just plug in the SIM card and you're good to go! If it's Verizon then buy the corresponding phone. I've been doing this for about 5 years now with 3 iPhones on the AT&T platform!
