Why would anyone drop the full $1000 upfront on a phone though? It's not like they charge interest.

That Google ad is for the Pixel 3a, a new "budget" phone.
$399/$479 depending on size
Does that make the ad racist?

Because at the end of the day this is a message board on the internet, with a large proportion of posters that have been born and raised in the southern “culture”. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.

I buy them all outright and don’t do the payment plan once they did away with the upgrade every two years. I think I walked out at $1300 with the phone and accessories for my 10 with the highest gig.

This dumbass who was on the job (not with our company) said he got the new Iphone about 3 or 4 months ago and got it on a payment plan.
He said it was only 'so and so a month' like he was bragging about it, then we said for how long? Get this, 24 months to pay off a fricking phone, with interest of at least $400. Plus Iphones are gay as frick.

There's 0 interest unless you have unbelievably bad credit I believe.
They don't need to charge interest really. They're charging the full price of the phone. It used to be subsidized and we could get phones for next to nothing every 2 years. That's not the case anymore so they get the full amount still, just more comes from the consumer.

They will let you buy it. The salesman wont is how I understand it. I was ticked about this too after my last phone purchase so I called Verizon and that's what they told me. I paid it off over the phone.

It isn't me.I've got a Galaxy J-1.

You can buy a 55" HDTV, moderate desktop, and a 27" flat screen monitor, and still pay less than $1000.

Why are people so aggravated about their interest free phone payment plans? There is no cash discount on buying a phone.

The third party salesman at Verizon told me my money wasn't good there unless I gave it to him under his terms. That's really what it was about for me. I could give a frick less if you choose to pay for your phone the other way, I just want the option to pay for it my way. I didnt want the increase in my bill when I could just pay cash and move on.
It's just a personal preference thing, really.
