Not sure which approach is right for you? Here is an honest comparison.
| Financing | Buy Outright | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront Cost | $0 on select devices | Full price ($1,000-$1,800+) |
| Monthly Impact | Device cost spread over 24-36 months | Lower monthly bill (BYOD discount) |
| Total Cost Over 2 Years | Same as retail price (0% interest) | Retail price minus plan savings |
