Looking to upgrade my faithful Galaxy s5 to an S9 or s9+
So many options it's overwhelming :(
Currently on Vodafone sim only $25 plan. Still have a few months left on contract but I really need to update asap.
Wondering if to buy outright, or a 24 or 36 month plan?
Don't ever use more than 10gb data…usually have wifi.
Do need unlimited calls and txt.
Prefer Australian phone version with Australian warranty etc , not korean or whatever version.
Any advice appreciated :)
Cheers

S10 ?
I'm not sure what you mean, sorry.

Buying outright is cheaper.
It depends.Sometimes you can go on a plan and get it cheaper than outright.
For example i got an S9 for the missus from the recent optus Harvey Norman deal.
After $400 Eftpos card and $167 netflix value and 10% off normal plan price, the S9 only cost me $600.
How much is the monthly plan?
Normal plan price was $65 + $10 handset price monthly for Unlimited calls and text and 20 GB data.
10% off the $65 +10= $68.5 every month for 24 months.
Yer buy outright (on sale/discount) and find plan/network that has data you want. Most plans are unlimited calls & texts these days.
S9 vs S9+ is more about the size you like to hold/view and maybe battery life.
outright and sim saves you more in the long run. the market is pretty competitive these days so plans are getting nice and cheap
Buy outright. You can get the S9+ grey import for around $800 after cashrewards/shopback etc if you time it with an eBay sitewide sale.
ok thanks. So it looks like an outright purchase.
Does anyone have a good deal on (non-import) ? I got one of those once and it was crap, half the software was in Korean or something, and the phone itself felt like rubbish compared to my wifes genuine locally purchased one.
