Is it worth buying the Galaxy Nexus on supertab?

[Ludicrous Speed]

Is it worth buying the Galaxy Nexus on supertab? I would put $200 on my tab and pay $449 for the phone. Virgins plans look pretty good (I with robbers now). I'm still not 100% on the pros and cons of supetab Vs a 3 year contract.


Or do I just buy it outright and go to wind or someone else?

i just got a supertab with virgin mobile today, and got the galaxy nexus. i switched from mobilicity. i got the 25 dollar talk and text plan and i got 1 yr of free caller id and voicemail. and the flex data thing

How did you get free call display and voicemail, if you mind me asking?

[jason7612]

i called in a few days earlier to customer service and asked if they could offer me caller id and voicemail since im transfering from another carrier. she told me yes i could get free caller id and voicemail on any of the talk and text since im a new customer. i think it depends on who you talk to, some others will just say no, also if they do say yes, get there employee id so you can refer back

It's one of the options on 25 talk and text plan right now. You can choose that or 5 favorite numbers

Pro: chose any plan and switch it any time.
No term commitment
Upgrade when ever you want

Con: tab can take a long time to pay off if your monthly rate is low.


Any questions feel free to ask as I sell this.

So how much is your monthly bill going to be? sys access fee etc, I though you had to get a $50 a month plan please explain.

Galaxy is one cool option for you, if you like Android...

I can't remember, does Virgin have the 3 year wipe of tab balance? If not, getting even $200 on a supertab would mean on a $50/month plan you'd be paying back the phone for 3 years 4 months. If you're on 3 year contract, you can upgrade with 12 months left, meaning you get ~450-500 off a phone per 24 months ($18.75-20.83 per month) versus $5 per month on the tab... Thats just something to think about...

If it doesn't wipe out after 3 years and you put it on the $500 supertab, it would take up to 8 years 4 months to pay off the tab...
