So I am currently on a 2 year contract with 6 months left. I have an s8 which has been great but recently broke the screen. Also have a $55 plan with 1gb data for $5. My total monthly bill is $66 after taxes and such. I am smitten by this because after looking at the current plans available, I dont need or want all that data or to pay $75 starting for a monthly mobility bill. Anyway, I'm thinking of getting a different phone (A5 because I can get it for $300 unlocked.) I know that if I renew my contract I have to pay for the rest of the device balance, I understand that. My question is, can I purchase an unlocked phone from somewhere else (Best Buy) and activate it thru telus, onto my existing plan, without a penalty? And continue with my same contract and same monthly plan.
And also, what will happen once my 2 years is up, are they able to change my plan so that it brings my monthly bill up, or can I keep paying this $66 a month for this same exact plan, until I decide that I want to change plans, which really why would I want to if I'm saving 20 bucks and happy.
My 2 main concerns here are replacing my phone, and keeping my kick ass cheap plan forever lol
