Sorry if this would be better in the 'buying advice' section... but anyway.
Looking for advice on the purchase of a new phone. We're on Sprint, wife has a 4S, I'm probably going to get the 5. I'm hoping that at the end of the (new) 2yr agreement, I can take both devices to a lower-cost carrier.
So here's the thing. I can buy an iP5 now for $199, or $99 if I wait another 2 months. The problem with waiting is, that would lock us in even longer for the contract, and at that point I'd be debating about waiting further for the 5S. My question is, will I have any luck getting Sprint to unlock the phones at the end of the agreement? And is it more economical to get through Sprint with the $36 activation fee, or go to an Apple store.
Many thanks in advance.
Dave
