Best buy/sprint prepaid smartphone deal

[dyingslowlyeveryday]

At best buy, some prepaid sprint androids come with a free month of service of your plan choice. $35, 45, 55, I think they are all unlimited everything, but throttles at 1gb, 3 and 6 respectively.

The cheapest phone is $40, and a pretty good deal.

This deal expires on the 31st, though, I only found out yesterday.

Just curious, how does it works out when it comes to billing and having no permanent address

Prepaid = No bill.

I have a pay as you go basically just buy one of those phone cards at most grocery/convenience stores put the pin in your phone and you month starts. Of course when you start up you'll have to put in a place of residence easily made up (use a friend or family's) just so the phone is linked to an area code. Pretty sure I saw sprint cards in there last time I was in.
I have a virgin mobile with grandfather clause $25 a mo. 300 min unlm. Txt & data. To get the same plan now is $35. I use a phone app so its basically like unlimited everything.

I found out today Sprint Prepaid has hard data caps. So if I use up 3gb of my 3gb plan, all data goes off, and I then have to pay for more, $10/1gb.

So I think I'll be switching to boost or t-mobile next month, or figure out how to watch less youtube.

can you use them for free anywhere that has free wifi?
do these phones basically replace my laptop?

1) yes
2) maybe. no if you play games or like having a large screen for movies (although if you dropped ~$400, these reasons would be less crucial). yes if you just browse internets, IM, youtube, office work (sort of).

but then if just relying on wifi for a phone (no service), a laptop only sucks for battery and portability. imo.

thx 4 the info. yeah, all i need is email, StP, YT and google maps. if i can do all that with a $40 cell then this heavy laptop is gonna be forsale asap.
