I would not be surprised if a similar question has already been asked, but I did research prior to posting with no avail. I would appreciate input from seasoned Mustachians as I've just come to discover the existence of facial hair myself.
I have 2 cell phones (LG G4s) currently under contract with Virgin Mobile (Ottawa, ON, Canada) with another year or so left which translates to $340 per line owing on the phones. Our currently monthly total is $135.40 for mediocre plans. I know someone who works at Freedom Mobile who can get us a much better plan for a combined total of $70 per month. Another thing to consider is both phones need to be unlocked which can be done for $15 a piece on Canadaunlocking.com. I am aware that unlocking becomes free by carriers on December 1st, but the code for the cheaper plan at Freedom is only valid until November 30th...convenient I know. So would it be worthwhile to spend a totat of $670 in order to obtain the cheaper monthly rate? I figure it will take 11 months ($670/65) to recoup the initial "investment", and assuming we can keep the same rate beyond that it will pay off in the long run. Might have to replace the batteries, but the 3 gigs of ram should be more than enough to keep us going for a few years.
Appreciate any input
