[Nfb-krafters-korner] Interesting deal I received

[blindhands at aol.com]

It is something new and Sprint was the first to do it.  Apple has a lease
deal, but you still need to purchase a service with one of the services.  

For the phone I had to turn in a phone.  I was going to turn in John's old
Droid, but I could not find it.  I had one month to send it in to them or I
would have had to pay $200.  So I called Sprint and asked them if it
mattered what sim card it had in it and they told me it didn't matter as
long as it was [I can't remember what they call] just remembered, Smart
phone.  So I went to EBay and found an old IPhone 3 G that was suppose to
work.  I paid $30 [with free shipping] and when I got it Sprint had sent me
a prepaid package to put it in to mail back to them and I contacted the
carrier and told them to pick it up.  I got a notice that they received it.
So even that worked out pretty smooth.

With the IPad I had to get silver and I kinda wanted a gold one, but due to
them having the gold on back order Sprint did not charge me for the
connection fee which was $36 

I feel like I got a real good deal.

My oldest son opened up the box and kinda got mad at me for spending money.
I told me the IPad is going to cost me $2 per month and he left me sitting
at the kitchen table and went up to the third floor saying, "Ya,you are
paying $2 per month for a thousand dollar IPad".  I don't think they are
tthat much, as I didn't get a lot of memory on it.

Joyce,

That is truly awesome. I didn't know it was possible to lease the technology
like that. The carrier I am with now did not offer that. Do keep us informed
how it does.

I just wanted to share this information to those of you who might be
considering getting or wishing to get an IPad.

I recently switched over to Sprint to get a new IPhone in October.  As
Sprint was rated the best deal on IPhone 6s.  I am happy with my deal that I
got.  Just really quickly I leased my IPhone which means I can keep it and
turn it back in after 12 months and get the newest, greatest IPhone every
year.  My leasing fee is something like $18 per month plus my cell phone
service which is $45 per month and I have unlimited everything.  Enough
about the phone

Well I called up a few days ago as they were talking about the IPad with me
when I ghot the phone and I was only interested in the phone.

I received my new IPad Air 2 today   The cost of the lease is $2 per month
as they had a deal going on that they gave you a credit of $17 each month
toward your lease and the charge for the service is $30 per month.  I did
lease it and just like the IPhone after 12 months I can trade it in for the
newest one and continue with the same price.  I am guaranteed the same price
for 2 years, but I get a new one after 12 months.  I took the insurance on
the IPad wich was an additional $12 per month, but they will fix or replace
the IPad 3 times within the year.  They even will replace it if it is
stolen.  Along with this insurance thingy I have call in service and speak
to a real human being here in the states 24/7 if I have any questions or
need help doing anything on all of my wifi things that I own.[Yep, my
computer, IPhone, IPad,.

So I got myself a Christmas present.  I have wanted an IPad for a while.  I
cannot believe that this new baby is 5 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches.

I will let you know how I make out with this new small IPad.  I could have
gotten the mini one, but that is more like my IPhone and I wanted the larger
screen.  It is so thin like a piece of chewing gum.
