“Which is the better deal? Installment plan or $1.00 with a two yr. contract. I'm not familiar with Verizon. I have ATT and save 15.00 with no contract but their service isn't good enough for the places I need the phone to work. What extra charges are involved with a contract?”

I think the $1 deal is a way better deal since it's exactly what it says - $1. I would add Geek Squad protection, though. Of course, that means you're really paying about $8 per month and that adds up over the course of a 2 year contract, but it's still cheaper than the installment plan. My phone had a manufacturer malfunction with the internal speaker and I stopped being able to use it for regular conversation after I'd had it for about 6 months. When Geek Squad couldn't fix the problem, I got a new upgraded phone free of charge and my contract didn't start over, so I can still upgrade in another year and a half if I want.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Installment plan you pay for the phone monthly for 24 months (approx. $24/month) and probably get an incentive (was $250 Best Buy gift card) and then pay X amount for data and $20/month per phone access fee. With the contract the phone is $1 but then your monthly access fee goes to $40/month.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I paid full price for the phone and have a carrier that I just pay $35.00/mo. This is a savings of over $800.00 for two years that a service contract would be in force..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.definitely the installment plan. More freedom, cheaper in the end with the $25 monthly credit.
