What would be my best option in getting the S5 without a contract/upgrade?

sell ur current phone on ebay, (assuming you have a smartphone that's valuable) with that money it should be easier.
If u work for a living, why kill urself working?

Good idea. I'll see what my phone is currently selling for.

Thanks. Not much cheaper than what I saw in the AT&T store this morning so might just get it from there.

Does the Galaxy s5 have all the menu languages left on the phone?
For anyone who has one on Sprint, Verizon etc..

Wondering if it will be cheaper this way.

Order two S5's with the buy one get one free promo from Verizon. Total cost $200
cancel the plan after 15 days. 350 per line = 700. That would be 900 for two phones or 450 a phone. Sell one phone for 650 on ebay. Total cost would be 250 for a brand new galaxy S5.

Any thoughts on this?

(Dont forget to sell your current phone on ebay. my used S3 is going for $175.)

I dont see why. I specifically called verizon and asked them about early termination. that is the point of it. For example if they are charging 200 for the phone and then 350 for early termination then they make 550 per phone. not too bad. obviously what i want to do is only worth it with the promo.

thanks for the mussar tho

I'm not sure what ur problem is.
It seems like a brilliant idea. My only concern is that the price of the S5 might drop by the time u actually get it

If you sell it overseas you should be able to still get top dollar for anyone who plans on selling an s5 in a while.

What's the problem? Nothing illegal, sketchy or questionable. No bending rules or futzing.

+ a lot. I know one of these can go for 1100 if not more.


Btw. Weird:
No widgets on lock.screen.
The setting button is left of the home screen. That now is the way to see all open window's.
Actual apps icons on screen are bigger
I like the one hand option. Enables u to make the screen smaller.
I also like the 'toolbox' a little button on screen for quick switches.
Sim card is a legit pita to put in.
If you have any questions please search and then ask. PM me for detailed help.

You can sell a verizon branded and locked down phone decently overseas?
