I was paying my bill for my prepaid and the lady told me about a deal they had going. $199 (for the phone) + $45 (for the month of service). Its a Iphone 5s. I get unlimited talk and text with 2GB of data every month for $45 a month. I am thinking of doing this. What do you guys think. Is the 5s worth $199? I feel like $45 a month is a fair price now a days. Plus its a prepaid plan so I am not stuck in a contract. If I decide not to continue I keep the phone and there is no penalties. If I continue its $45 a month. What does everyone think? Shoudl I do it?

To me that does not sound like a good deal but maybe the rules are different in the US.Last contract I had was 20$/month for 24 month (free talk, 1GB download + unlimited download at reduced speed) and 300$ off on any smartphone.

If I decide I do not want to pay anymore I dont and they recycle my phone number after a month or two. No penalties at all. I keep the phone. Why would it seem expensive to you if the 5s runs $300 there? I would be getting it for $199. The service would be unlimited talk, text, and 2GB of data every month. Is it the monthly cost you find expensive?

Is it the monthly cost you find expensive?Well, I operate under the assumption that everything is cheaper if you are not in Switzerland You can get the 5s on amazon for 260$ (unlocked). That would be an important question, is the phone unlocked, can you use it with other carriers?
I feel it's a good deal considering its not on contract. Working for Verizon I cannot offer you that phone at the price with that plan offerings. We don't have that iPhone even on prepaid and if you got it on device payment plan (aka EDGE) it would be way more expensive. I say it's a good deal, run with it. Just be sure to use Wi-Fi where you can to curb your data and not run over your 2gigs.
Seems like I'm overruled Well, if one thinks about it, the US being that much larger and that much less densely populated, I guess it makes sense that the monthly plan is high.The only thing that could make that deal cheaper is probably the release of the iPhone 7, but that is a long way off as it is expected for September.
I wouldn't go for it, just because its AT&T! Verizon where its at!!
Well, from AT&T, I have the iPhone 5s, paid $.99 for it, and get unlimited everything for about $50 per line, but on 6 lines.Sent from my outdated communication device using an obsolete application
Get a straight talk phone. Same price for it. $199 for the phone and $45 a month. Unlimited talk/text but it includes 5gb of high speed data and after that it cuts to 1/2 speed unlimited data. If you get the right SIM card it still uses att service towers but with a different carrier (if it's available in your area)

Quick update. I went to pay my bill today and asked if they still had the iphone deal going. they do and now they bumped it up to 3GB for the same price. If I had $199 to spare I would do it. I may have to sell some stuff.

The offer is there. If you want it, take it. If not, that's fine too. Def
