I have a fairly extensive family plan with Verizon and a slew of phones and iPads spread across the family. I would like to upgrade my iPhone5 to one of the Iphone5s models. I called Verizon today and was quoted $299 for 64GB and $399 for $128GB. Moving up to the iPhone6Plus models it would be $399 or $499. There is a $40 upgrade fee no matter which phone I choose. This would renew my plan to a new 2yr contract.
My other option is to pay for the phone outright which would be $750 or $850 for the iPhone6s. It would be $850 or $950 for the iPhone6sPlus. Whew! Verizon would not tell me over the phone how much my plan would go down in cost if I were to do this.
So I'm inclined to renew my contract for the lower cost but I want to make sure I'm not missing something such a third option where Santa brings me a free phone. Any advice?
