True. If I need to ask someone something, I'll ask NT first. If I like NT's answer then I feel like that's what the person I wanted to ask will reply.

Both ATT and Verizon are jerks for taking away the unlimited data options for people
. My last 2 contracts were unlimited and now I have this capped stuff. It was inevitable though since so many people have smartphones and tablets now. I remember when minutes and texts were the most important features and unlimited data was offered like no big deal.

I'm still holding onto my unlimited plan with Verizon. I think im going to say f it and just get a 4s(currently have a 4) since I can get one for cheap. I did about 6gb last month so f verizon and their bs. Aint trying to lose my plan to upgrade to a 5.

So you don't keep your unlimited plan if you upgrade to the 5? I did not know that. The rest of my family is on a family plan. My brother got the 5. When my dad and sister upgrade their 4S's then they'll have to figure out how much data they'll need. Right now I have the 1 GB plan, might have to upgrade to 2 GB for an extra $10 .

If you read your contract it should say unlimited data but it will be throttled at 5gb. From what I remember this has been the case for ages. As I remember we never had truly unlimited data. It was always 5gb. Before, smartphones 5gb was hard to achieve. I'm going off memory. Not really sure.Both ATT and Verizon are jerks for taking away the unlimited data options for people

Not to be rude, but You wasted keystrokes by not answering my question, yet feeling the need to tell me to make a phone call, because I can't wait to talk to customer service! Thanks for nothing pal.

You'd most likely only qualify for an early upgrade. So it'd basically be $250 more than what the full subsidized price is.
$199 ----> $449 for the 16gb
$299 ----> $549 for the 32gb
$399 ----> $649 for the 64gb
They're going to make you renew your contract regardless of when you purchase it,.... Unless you buy the phone at full retail price. ($649, $749, $849)
It's probably best to just wait it out till January. The iPhone 5 isn't going anywhere.
For anyone that's with sprint....if ur still waitin for the re-stock check ur local sprint store cuz I just got my 2 16gb blk phones yest from the sprint store on Jamaica ave....they said they got there re-stock yest....comin from a htc sensation I really like this phone so far

Isn't the upgrade window 18 months now? As long as you're 18 months into your contract, you should be eligible for a full subsidized upgrade..

This.
I paid full retail for the 5 and to me it's well worth the peace of mind of not worrying about going over any data limits. LTE+tiered data plans is a slap to the face IMO. Why give users fast speeds with limited access. Clearly a scheme to make more money off those with monthly overages. I always kept my 4 on wifi at home because the speeds were faster but with LTE the only time I connect to wifi is to download large apps.

Jailbroken iPhone 4s>iPhone 5
I'm gonna wait to get this 5 until a couple months. I got a 4s for cheap and it's super fast compared to a 4. Honestly I understand why they say if you have a 4s you shouldn't even stress getting the 5. Playing around with the 5, it's a cool phone but it just seems like Its missing that "it" factor. LTE and the A6 chip makes it fast but IMO that's not enough. Next year instead of a new phone if they try and pull 5s move, Id rather have a full over haul of the whole OS. Still keep it simple just "New" and different.

I'm going to upgrade my phone soon. If I lock in a new 2-year contract, do you think it's better to go with the 5 since it may have a longer functional life than the 4s or go with the $100 cheaper 4s since they are comparable in present time?
This is for anybody who wants to answer too btw.

If you don't have either it's a no brainer... Go with the 5. My statement was more towards if you already have a 4s, it doesn't make sense to buy a 5 for retail(IMO). When comparing the 4s and 5 at subsidized prices, the 5 is worth the $100 difference but it's not worth $649+tax different.

So I read in this thread that if we did not get our phone on release day, that it will come on the 5th of October.
Is there any truth to this?
