  0 0 If you do not have a subsidized phone can you get a cheaper contract rate? You need to work out the total cost that would amount from your plan (less a reasonable price for the 4S), and compare it to the total cost of of getting the Galaxy and the contract rate you'd get with no phone included. It is just a dollar question, seems to me. Bearing in mind that if you include a phone in the plan and then lose/damage your phone you are still up for the plan and added expense of getting a new one. I'm not a fan of subsidized phones for that reason, despite never having lost/damaged one. ozchick answered in Tech Products 5 months ago | Report 6 comments by Andrew Beck, ozchick, and Black Beetles in Amber… 0 0 With AT&T you don't get a cheaper rate for bringing your own phone. Otherwise I'd being getting a cheaper rate now with my Nexus One. The thinking goes like this. I can get a 4S for $200 by signing a two year contract. I can sell the phone for at least $400. That's basically $200 to apply to the Galaxy Nexus. Andrew Beck commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Sounds like no reason not to then. Just check that the contract does not require you to retain possession of the subsidized phone. ozchick commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 "If you do not have a subsidized phone can you get a cheaper contract rate?" Nope. You generally sign the contract for the higher rate anyway! What a rip.

If you're sure you'll stick with AT&T then your plan makes sense. But can you get a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with US GSM radios? I only see overseas versions and Verizon's CDMA phone. capicola commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 The overseas ones are pentaband. They support both AT&T and T-Mobile frequencies. I could also pick one up in Canada as the Rogers frequencies are the same as AT&T.

  0 0 Why would ATT not offer a subsidized GN? Verizon is pricing it at $300; it wouldn't make any sense for another US carrier to have a different price point. tournant answered in Tech Products 5 months ago | Report 3 comments by Andrew Beck, tournant, and Andrew Beck… 0 0 I'm pretty sure Verizon has an exclusive on it in the US. And besides, AT&T has never sold any of the Nexus devices subsidized. You could get a Nexus One and you could get a Nexus S, but you had to buy the unlocked phone upfront. Andrew Beck commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 i guess i don't understand...i just looked up a price for a nexus s from att and it's subsidized to $50 w. 2yr contract. tournant commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 You can get it subsidized from 3rd parties, but the ETF fees from them are even higher than on AT&T.
