I wouldn't want to spend $500 on a phone, and I'm gunshy of those 2-yr contracts, plus you have to spend every month.
I have had Virgin Mobile for at least 4 years, after years with Sprint (same network), our costs are way less, they keep advancing with phone technology too. With Prepaid plan you can change your plan as you wish, very flexible. While I am away 6 months I need to put $20 on it every 90 days to keep my number... The website is a little quirky but I manage to get around it.
If you don't need it much from home, get a more basic phone for less money, if you ever have a need for more on a consistent basis, then buy the newest technology at that time.
Just my .02 or 411 lol
