Gabzmom Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Gah! This is a non-important topic but I need to ask as I do not get the whole data thing. I am grandfathered with unlimited data with my carrier. I was eligible for a new contract back in February 2014. I just chose to keep my old iPhone and have not renewed. I am considering getting a new phone and it will cost about $700 if I do not upgrade with the carrier. If I do, then I have to go to a new data plan. If I upgrade, I think the phone is about $400 with the same gigs. I have a 64 gig iPhone 4S. I am getting a new phone because I have had it shut down on me and I have lost numbers, etc. Have no idea why I feel I need to keep unlimited data. I don't use more than 2 Gs per month. My DD has a tendency to use 4 to 5 Gs on a heavy month. Gah, again! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangomom Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I would ask the carrier if they have any specials. When I upgraded to an iPhone 6 they were running a double data special and I got 4gb for the price of 2gb. That said, I have yet to go over 2 gb. Consider your usage over the last few months to determine if you will end up paying overages. Another option would be to see if there is a newer iPhone that someone wants to sell to you. Make sure it is from the same carrier, because you can't cross carriers with your phone. My son broke his phone and was not ready for an upgrade. He was able to get an iPhone 5s for under $200.

Mangomom Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 And, I totally get the panic leaving unlimited. For me, it was more because I had it for so long, it felt like giving something up. Ok, I'm done now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabzmom Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think that is my issue. I don't want to give up my data and there's not even a chance I would ever go over 3 EVER! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
