Is It Cheaper To Get a New Phone Through Postpaid Plans

Introduction   

There are technological devices that are “nice to have,” but some, like smartphones, have become an essential part of our lives. We use these mobile devices primarily to communicate with other people through texts, calls, and chats. However, they now also allow you to conduct financial transactions, research vital information, organize your tasks, and more.

 

Understandably, if your phone breaks down, it’s a must to get a new one as soon as possible. Otherwise, many aspects of your life will be disrupted, especially if you rely on your phones too much.

 

If you have enough money, you can go ahead and purchase a phone from a digital store with cash. On the other hand, you can buy one through other means, like installment payments through your bank or credit card. Another helpful way is to try getting a postpaid mobile phone plan that comes with a handset.

 

DITO Telecommunity’s FLEXPlans are available if you are looking for postpaid plans that come with a phone. If you’re considering subscribing to one, this article will explain how getting a phone via a postpaid plan may be a wiser decision for you financially.

 

 

Signs You Need a New Phone   

There will come a time you will have no choice but to replace your phone because of damage or old age. If you’re experiencing the following signs, you most likely need to purchase a new phone:

 

Your Phone Is Slow   

Do you have difficulty switching between apps? Or are you finding it hard to execute simple tasks like sending a message or a photo because your phone is no longer as fast as before? There are many factors that can affect your phone’s speed, and a few examples are multiple running apps, overloaded memory, slow internet connection, and the age of your device.

 

Over time, your phone’s internal processes will degrade and cause it to slow down. This can hinder productivity, so getting a new phone is highly recommended.

 

Your Phone Battery Drains Quickly   

If you’re starting to notice that your phone needs to be charged more than once a day, despite not using it excessively, take it as a symptom of a quickly draining battery. This is usually caused by bad habits, such as overnight charging, letting the battery go below 20% before charging, or using cheap knockoff chargers. If the battery can’t be replaced or is too expensive to replace, you should buy a new phone instead.  

 

Your Phone Is Outdated   

Your phone is outdated if it can no longer install its manufacturer’s newest operating system (OS) update, which is necessary to keep your device secure and functioning smoothly. Also, obsolete phones usually cannot connect to high-speed service networks, such as 4G and 5G.

 

If such is the case with your phone, then you are using a very outdated device, indeed! Needless to say, this is a key reason for getting a new one.

 

 

Getting a New Phone Through Postpaid Plans   

Getting a new phone by subscribing to a postpaid mobile phone plan has many perks money-wise. Here are some examples:

 

Long-Term Payment   

One of the primary benefits of purchasing a new phone through a postpaid plan is the ability to get a brand-new device through installment. This mode of payment is ideal for people who do not have enough money yet to buy a smartphone in cash but need to get a new device as soon as possible.

 

Single Billing Account   

Another advantage of getting a phone through a postpaid plan is the convenience of payment. In a handset postpaid plan, you pay your phone and mobile services to a single billing account. This lessens the number of financial obligations you need to keep track of.

 

High-End Gadget Choices   

The smartphone models you can get through postpaid plans are high-end! For instance, with DITO’s handset FLEXPlans, you can choose from a range of Samsung Galaxy smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy A05s, A15 5G, and A25 5G.

 

Depending on the model, some of the exciting features you can enjoy are a 50MP triple camera, dynamic lock screen, face recognition, 5G connectivity, and refined Nightography camera.

 

Device Discounts   

Depending on your plan and telco provider, you can have the chance to get a discounted smartphone! This is a win-win because not only will you have the ability to pay through installment, but you can also get the phone at a cheaper price. Some discounts come only occasionally, however, so it’s best to follow the social media accounts of your telco to get updated on available discounts and other perks.

 

Exciting Freebies   

One of the main reasons why it can be cheaper to get a phone through a postpaid plan is the exciting freebies included in your subscription! Take DITO’s FLEXPlans, for example. All handset plans come with a 12-month Prime Video subscription, allowing you to watch exciting shows, ranging from Hollywood blockbusters to local movies. Moreover, some plans even come with up to 50GB monthly bonus data allocation.

 

Free Smartphones   

You read that right—there are postpaid mobile phone plans that come with a free smartphone! If you choose our FLEXPlan 588, you’ll get a brand-new Samsung Galaxy A05s free of charge. You can have your own Samsung Galaxy A05s if you subscribe to our FLEXPlan 888. The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G, meanwhile, is free for our FLEXPlan 1288.
