I go through verizon wireless and want to upgrade to the samsung sch 740. Is it really cheaper to order it through the internet, otherwise, what are the benefits of doing it that way? I plan to sign another 2 yr contract so can anyone tell me how much you are actually paying for the phone out of pocket minus the rebates ? Thanks !

I just upgraded my phone and consedered the 740...
the benefits are great.....

you get the $50 off online only...and if you are eligible to upgrade.....


with tax the phone comes to 84 something....rather than paying 130....

Also you do not have to pay the activation fee and there is free over night shipping online....

then you actually pay for your plan whenever your monthly bill comes in.....you can try vcast free for a month if you want....also y ou pay if you get unlimited texting, etc......

the $50 off is instant...so you only pay about 84 for the phone.
