tripp: Now what a smart person will do is

Go to telco and get phone on 24 months interest free and pay your 12 months at $49
In a years time jump telco's and get a new phone, when you port your number this will trigger the remaining amount to be paid on your next invoice for your old phone from the old telco, sell phone on trademe and pay off the invoice.

End result = new phone + sold phone to cover the remaining 12 months to old telco.

The above works best with iphones as they hold their price a lot better than other phones

tripp: So lets look at a iphone 6s 16gig and trade up

Phone is 1199 outright

2degrees lets you have it for $49 x 24 months (interest free)

You can trade up after 12 months if you pay $120 + $10 a month ($240 total)

$49 x 12 = $588
$120 + $120 = $240 + 588 = $828

So over 1 year you pay $828 dollars + return the phone (which on trademe would still sell for between 800 - 1000 for an iphone).

You then get the right to start your 24 month rental all over again with another phone to repeat the cycle in a year.
