I recently got into an argument with my s/o about upgrading her phone. She claims that the people working at Verizon told her that upgrading to the iPhone 7 would be cheaper than keeping her iPhone 6. She claims they said that once she finished paying off her iPhone 6 the monthly service fee on her phone would rise over the monthly payment she makes on her phone.
So for example (Numbers are not actual representation.)
She pays $100 a month. $25 is the month service for her phone. $25 is the payment for her phone. $50 is payment for data minutes and texting.
Verizon told her that when she is finished paying off her phone (iPhone 6) The monthly service ($25) would increase to over $50. Meaning that by paying off her phone she would increase her monthly charges to over $100.
Can anyone make sense of this?
