OK, the family contract is up the 31st.

I have 4 phones through Sprint.

Mine, the wife's, the kid's and mom.

I'm the heaviest data user we need 3 smart phones and Mom's phone only needs phone and texting abilty.

We're going to upgrade at least the 3 smart phones we currently have.

 

Don't seem to be able to find a better price than I do now with Sprint.

 

Anybody out there with a sweet deal?

Check out republic wireless.

 

They are actually based in Raleigh.  Basically they have cheap plans with the idea that when you have WiFi you'll use that to make calls and texts and data.  Which everyone should anyway.  Their technology allows you to make calls through WiFI and pick up to cell network when WiFi drops.  When not on WiFi they offer just cellar/text, 3g, or 4g on Sprint network.  Unlimited data and texts on each one.  No contract.  You buy the phone up front and then just monthly for service.  Right now the best phone is the Moto X which is a nice phone, it's like 249.99 up front (pretty cheap for this phone) but there may be some deals, not sure.  

 

You can change your plan on each phone 2x a month.  Say you don't need 4g at home but you are going on vacation, and want it, you can activate it.  It'll prorate on your bill.  They even offer a "WiFi-only" calling plan for $5 lol.  I think monthly for 4g it's like $39 a phone for unlimited everything, 3g is like $25.   If you keep the phones for almost 2 years you'll save a lot of money compared to other carriers.   I like having no contract and not dealing with that kind of nonsense.    So far the MotoX has been a great phone.

 

I wasn't getting 4g at work (because I work in a server room under ground and didn't need it at home, so I dropped to 3g in like 5 seconds to save money.  Cool thing is you can get one phone, try it, and if you like it, add the others.  Flexibility is huge with Republic.

 

Edit***: I Just seen in my e-mail they have a refer a friend program.  If you sign up we both can get a $19 credit to our account, go to this link if interested:

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
