[Q] How to get the device for low cost

[vortexmak]

Hi,

I am planning to buy the TMobile S4 and I want to unlock it.
Is there any way I could get it for subsidized prices.
i.e. getting it on AT&T and immediately breaking the contract will get you the device for $500 . Can I do something similar for T Mobile ?

That's not possible because T-Mobile has the no contract system. They will let you buy the phone unlocked from them for 630 but if you make sign up for their no contract plan then you can get the s4 for 580. However you will have to pay for service. You could sign up and pay the 580 and then cancel.

I think 580 is just the base price , with Tax it's 40 = 620 and then I'll have to pay for at least one month of service right ? So ultimately I'll end up paying 670

You are incorrect, tmobile DOES have a contract offer. BUT it is not available directly through their retail stores. u need to go through a 3rd party.
