I know of Wirefly, Amazon, and a few others, but some of these websites are almost infuriating to deal with now. Refusing to give you a chance to look at deal unless you also choose a plan. Or the dozen or so websites that simply link you to Verizon's website. Which Wirefly does now as well.

I'm trying to find the best deal I can on a 2 yr contract phone. I've been trying to wait out the Nexus 6, but I am about to give up hope.

inB4 "Don't get a contract, you are screwing yourself". Ftr, I only ever get free phones, or those under $50, on a 2 year contract. At which point, it is a much better deal for me than Edge, and even buying a phone outright, because....I don't have $600-$800 to drop on a phone.

Thanks ahead of time fellas and ladies.

Not to be "that guy", but depending on the plan you are on and the phone you are choosing (even if it is "free" or $50)...Device payments may still be a better option vs 2 year contract. Let me know what plan you're on and what phone you are thinking about.

I've spent hours doing the math on it both ways, by myself and with Verizon employees. No matter what, I end up cheaper on the 2 yr contract unless I go with a phone that is around $75-$100 or so. Also, I did that math before Verizon tacked another several(was it in May, and was it 6 months?) months of paying onto the Edge program before you can get a new phone.

Additionally, our plan is locked in right where we like it. Unlimited everything but Data. Paying for 4gbs, and then have 2gbs free on top of that. Even with the discount on each line for Edge, I end up cheaper over the 2 years doing the contract.

I was hoping to keep this phone as a backup, but Verizon is doing a $50 promo code, I might do that and trade this in. Then I would have $150 to play with.

Do you know of a way to get around the $40 upgrade fee? Freaking ridiculous charge.
