You still end up paying $400 for the phone (talking about GS3 here). Folks here are getting the phone for $149.99 and less with classic plan, which in my opinion is a better deal.

I still refuse to buy phones from a Tmo store. They want to charge you extra per month just for having the phone? no thanks. I'd rather go to costco and pay $199 without paying extra per month.

Where are you getting it for $149?

I always thought that classic plans turn out to be more expensive than value plans in the long run even if making phone payments

Here's the deals I can see. I'm currently on a $60/mo no contract plan.

If I buy at the t-mobile store this weekend, I pay for the S3 $150 and then have to send in for the rebate, so I basically have tax of $10.50. I also can go on a value plan for $59.99 unlimited talk/text/2G data. Add to that the subsidy of $20/mo over 20 months($80x20) = $1600.

If I buy it for $150, at say, Walmart, have to go to the classic plan, Which is $69.99/mo, that would be $70x20 = $1400 + $150 = $1550? I don't see the big savings. And buying at the t-mobile store this weekend enables me to keep my same number.

I think the tax is based on the retail price.

Ohhhh, the sales guy didn't tell me that.

You are comparing two different plans with different minutes. The classic plan with unlimited talk and text/2g data is $80.

Or you go into walmart and get a Galaxy S2 for $200 (or was it $300) and you own it and get a $30/month t-mo prepay 5GB throttled unlimted text, but 150 mins, and then use the WiFi calling.

Tax is ALWAYS based on retail prices, it's not tmo's fault that money goes directly to the govt.

It looks like the phone I got less than a month ago is now $200 cheaper... FML. Although I'm only on a 1000min/2gb value plan so I probably don't even qualify.
