A:AnswerYou can, but beware of how it will affect your plan. Since I bought the Note 5 from Best Buy, Sprint charges a monthly $15 discount phone charge for buying the phone from an outside vendor if you have a term contract. After several uphill battles with Sprint, they waived the charge for the 24 months.
A:AnswerNope, unless it's hidden under that glass back which looks like a nightmare to remove as it is affixed with some sort of temperature sensitive adhesive. I watched a tech remove one of them and it was amazing how much heat he had to apply and for how long to remove the back. Sorry, wish it did but it does not.
There are alternatives, not so elegans. such as a microusb drive which is instantly recognized and can give you 128 gb of storage I think. But then you have this thing dangling on the bottom of your phone which I think would be vulnerable to damaging the microusb port if torqued inadvertently.
A:AnswerIf you purchase it out right you have to sign the contract at the low promo price. I think you could purchase outright but then you paid the much higher price.
A:AnswerI can't say for use, but since Android KitKat, you can use USB OTG, so you can add a flash drive to the phone, though it would be something extra to carry around. Best Buy had a great deal on the Sandisk 32gb Duo, which has USB 3.0 and micro USB built-in. I like the design of it as it easily fits on my keychain. It's really small and super fast due to USB 3.
