Upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo
8 minutes ago, deXxterlab97 said:I know. From what I see with $0 phone plans I have to pay $80 which doesn't make sense. (checked Fido for a G4, which doesn't seem like an upgrade).

I would rather get something in Canada to avoid all the hassle, have warranty and some support just in case.
Well yeah. That's how it works. You're generally not getting a discount on the phone, you're just getting its cost spread out over the term of your contract. That's why I'd suggest just throwing a phone on a credit card and paying it off that way, if you can't afford it all at once. In the end you'll usually be ahead financially. If you went with Public Mobile, for example, you can get unlimited calling/text and 2GB of data per month for $40/month (might be $45). Over the course of a 2 year contract, you'd save $480 on the contract alone.
As for off contract phones, the Axon Pro is only $299 right now on NewEgg. I suspect the Axon 7 might drop in price by the time your contract expires as well, seeing as an updated version is coming out soon. You could also wait and see when the G5 Plus will come out in Canada, or buy it from the US. It's supposed to be an excellent low-mid tier phone.
Freedom mobile is a bit of a mixed bag, for sure. The fact they can't even provide service over Richmond as a whole is pathetic.
With Virgin don't you have to go with a $90/month plan to get the $0 S7?
