I bought it new last April from mint mobile: 399 with 12 months of phone service(I’m on $15/5gb/12 month plan now). Saved me $10/month vs. visible and I had to get a new phone anyway as my p5 was aged out of security updates. Basically with the savings on my monthly bill it dropped the price of the phone $120 in my first year so $279 for a new phone and 12 months of service.

The 9a is starting to drop prices, if you need to re-up with a carrier I’d look for deals, might be able to get one new for the same price or less.

Is this a news story from 4 years ago?
