Wanna get a Verizon (to use on PagePlus) phone, looking for a cheap and small Android (Samsung preferred) phone, any recommendations?

I see Sprint has an option to lease phones now (available only on the LG G3 and Galaxy S5 and Note 4), the price is cheaper ($15/mo for the G3 vs. $20/mo monthly payments), any reasons not to other than that you don't keep the phone after 2 years?

Thanks, but I'm looking for even cheaper and even smaller..

For instance, the going price for a used Sch-i200 is about $25, but it looks more to the bigger side CMIIW.

It seems like the BB Classic will be coming to Verizon on the 26th and to at&t on the 20th!

If you have the money you're better off buying it off contract.

Why? So that in 2 years from now I'll get to keep my outdated phone that keeps freezing up and has to be replaced anyways?

A good maintained phone should be good even after 2 years.

Just barely, and for people like me who live in the real world with kids and better fingers how plausible is that?

Let's change the question a bit. Assuming I'll want a new phone in 2 years is there a reason not to lease?

are there other benefits involved? like the option to upgrade after only 1 year?

Not eligible for early upgrades

so you will stay with sprint for 2 years with the same g3? why not just do the full contract plan and get phone for 49.99?
otherwise saving 5 per month and having nothing is not worth it since you can easily sell the phone for more than 120.00 in 2 years
