A:AnswerIf you pay the deposit you go on a 2 year contract select your plan suitable for you& whomever be sure to pick a date you can do auto pay with because they report to credit bureaus this way only. After 2 years is up you still keep your phone. Why they do installment billing is for ppl who can't or won't pay the deposit on that I'm unclear either way you keep your phone.
A:AnswerSeems to me your confusing two things. The $31.25 price tag you pay for the phone is like a lease - or financing. When your done paying the $31.25 you should own the phone. Because your buying the phone, and Sprint is not funding it, there should not be a term to your contract. You can leave whenever - you just owe Sprint for the phone.
A:AnswerYou may have been looking at the s7, not the edge. They are both on sale for the same prices as yesterday as I had the exact same issue as you with upgrade dates. But as far as I know, they do not offer rain checks on phone sales
A:AnswerYou just have to wait each week. Sale prices fluctuate and when the holidays come around, you may be able to get the phone for a dollar with 2 year activation. Don't quote me on that but just guessing according to market trends. With the Galaxy Note 7 about to release, only makes sense that the other models would drop in price.
