That is where it all comes down to if you are really going to go over the 2GB a month cap and if paying double for a phone is really worth saving on the overages each month.

But I managed to get a Galaxy S III of ebay for $350, so it was worth it since she listens to Pandora all day long, even when she's driving, so 2GB of data would kill us in overages. $600 is what I'd expect for an unlocked phone, but you can still get a locked phone and activate it on your plan, so locked phones can be bought for cheaper. Especially if you go for one that has a newer model out, yeah the one you get isn't top of the line, but it will still be a good phone.

I got a virtually new Razr Maxx HD through local Craigslist for $350 including all sorts of goodies (car mount, adaptors, HDMI cable). Clean ESN and supposedly tranferrable SIM. Called Verizon last night to check and they were all ready to activate it and continue with my current plan. Need to do some house cleaning on my current phone before I activate it though, probably tonight or tomorrow night.

Considering my other option was to pay $200 and move to a higher priced capped data plan, I'll actually be saving money, plus keep unlimited data and MOVE TO 4G!!!

Thanks! :toast:
