I have had my Motorola V557 for almost two years. My contract with Cingular, the new AT%26T, is over in December of this year. I wouldn%26#39;t mind waiting to get a new phone, namely a Helio Ocean, when my contract ended, but my phone is broken. It%26#39;s going to take $75 to fix. I have repaired it once before and while it was worth it, I%26#39;m having doubts about doing it again.
I want to point out that when I first "bought" the phone, I didn%26#39;t pay for it. It came free if you signed up for a 2 year contract. Hence, why I don%26#39;t feel like I want to pay for it again. However, I do have text messages and other things like ringtones, pictures, etc..., that I would like to take off the phone before I switch phones.
Should I pay the $175 to ditch the phone and contract and sign up for a Helio, or should I repair it and wait it out?
Answers:
your are so close to finish the contract . This is what i would do , just buy a prepaid phone for 10 bucks ( check at http://cellphonesmarket.com/viewforum.ph... ) and use that for you contract plan till the end. And that way you dont have to pay that 175 for ETF and you can use that money later on for HELIO. Also try joining the forum and you will learn a lot. If it were me, I%26#39;d repair it and wait it out if money is an issue. It%26#39;ll most likely be cheaper that way as when it comes out it%26#39;ll probably be like 50 to 100 dollars after the rebate (with a new contract). So that%26#39;s only 125 to 175 at the most for repairs and a new phone. Versus 250 to 300 dollars just to buy a new phone out-right.
