Need help deciding

This is what I been thinking and want you guys opinion on it.

Want to get an s4 for the wife and one for me.

Scenario 1 get my wife a tmobile s4 with the down payment of $150 and pay about $93 a month with international and insurance, and I will stay with metro sell my s3 And look for the difference to get an s4 and my bill will be for one like $70 with international and insurance so that's about $170 monthly.

Scenario 2 sell my s3 put that money towards two tmobile s4 pay about $190 a month with the $20 finance per line after phones are paid off then that's $40 less a month then switch back to metro.

Thanks guys in advance
 
I think you'd only be paying $160 a month including the $40 a month for the phones. After they're paid off it'd be $120. Scenario two is looking good and it's better for you too. But you should get the HTC One IMO =D
 
Or, option 3... get a credit card, buy 2 S4's at Metro, and pay it off that way. Save money on the phone bill, while still only paying $40 a month towards the credit card bill.
 
Thanks guys for the input keep them coming option 3 is also a good idea :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Hmm...when it comes to the uncarrier rates on Tmobile...does anyone know if the pricing is a flat fee with taxes rolled in like Metros plans? Or taxes on top?

I believe taxes are not included, do you'd still have to pay tax on top of what ever your monthly rate is.
 
I read somewhere that metro is also offering a phone payment plan like T-Mobile?? If they are that would be a great idea.
 
n4zty is gunna get a note 2. mike is gunna get a sgs4, everyone is gunna leave teh metropcs sgs3.

its gunna be like me and ldrifta making roms for ourselves and thats all :P
 
At this time, it's most likely that I'll hang til I can get a LTE T-Mo S3 used for $250-275.
I'm not aware of anything else as good as an S3 that will be available for this kind of $.

I wouldn't be adverse to something like the L9 but it's going to have to have a better processor than 1 Ghz.

I definitely don't want anything Larger than an S3 so I'll probably soldier on til either sentence 1 happens or Metro starts turning the faucet off in my area.

[EDIT] But just for grins and giggles you damn sure know I'm gonna be ALL Crazy Ass Honey Badger on that BYOD list when it comes out.

or, option 4....get your wife an S4 on TMobile then go back to metro, buy an LG Motion and give me your S3 :D dilemma solved :thumbup:

...ok but seriously, lets see the end target is to both end up with an S4, both ways get you that, so i would suggest scenario 1.

the reason is because if you have the money to get both S4's then do it, in one your going to be paying 170 and the other 190, that $20 dollar difference would be going into one of the phones if you get it with TMobile, so either your going to have to pay those $20 slowly or in one charge.

scenario one

because you get the same results quicker nd you wont have to worry about coming back to metro
