Mario,
I was looking for iPhone 6 for my wife on kijiji. Then I checked factory direct and got a refurb one from them. 1 year warranty. She had it so far for 6 months, no issues. and phone eas 9.5/10 in terms of condition.
Right now they have a sale, 399 for 64G iPhone 6. Just one thing, you cant return for refund, only store credit

SO rogers won't upgrade her because they want to change that plan? is that work plan from her work? if so, ask the rogers rep for that company to deal with it.
If not, buying a phone outright, sometimes isn't much more expensive than a hardware upgrade phone cost (speaking only apply here) anyway.

I prefer to buy everything used but I won't buy a used phone. With built in batteries you will never enjoy that amazing battery life that phones have when they are new. Also half the used stuff out there is repaired phones with knockoff parts. No thanks.

You can thank all the fucking idiots that were complaining about 3 year terms for how expensive plans are now. Dumb fucks.
I've been buying my phones outright for the past few years now. Same situation, want new phone go on new plan. I'm on a government plan $50 with 6gb.
this 100%.

On the topic of phones, i am on my second iphone5s...it's had a rough life and i may potentially replace it and thinking of going with 5SE.
My work phone is as big as the iphone 6, it's just more cumbersome to use with one hand compared to the 5.

I won't buy a used phone as I don't know if the previous owner(s) have brought it into the can w/ them.

My Ifone6+'s battery is on its last leg. I am looking at 2nd hand as well but ONLY Apple warranty replacements. Guarantee apple parts, minimal washroom time.
I use maybe 5 minutes a month so not concern with people's germs or putting my face on a screen where the prior owner's shit stained hands.

It's only $100 to get a new battery from Apple.

Still cheaper than any used iPhone.

True that. Want to get a nicer camera on the phone and more GIGABITEZZZ as well. My 6+ is only 16GB......may just change the battery and pass it off to another family member.

Exactly why I said fuck this shit. Pay a few hundred more for less of a phone compared to the note8. You guys know how much I fucking hate Samsung products so that says a lot lol

I can understand why people spend these amounts on a phone. Considering how much time they spend on it and what they use it for, its understandable. Considering how much people spend on other things, I think its justifiable. I just can't see myself dropping that kind of money on a phone. I'm sure it has a lot to do with never having paid for a phone cuz of work.
But but but....
It's not just a phone. It's also a pocket computer.

FWIW i didnt mind shelling out big bucks on a phone, as i do not have a personal computer. i'll just shoot my screen over to the tv if i want to browse on the big screen.
i don't really see the need for a personal computer any longer unless: 1) it is to fulfill hobby related things (gaming, video/photo editing) 2) professional related use
Other than that, a phone does what a computer can now. i actually think it's weird to spend 1k on a computer - which may not be used daily...compared to a phone which will - and a phone does more daily things than a computer can (ie: gps, health tracking, content consumption, integration with IOT etc)

Wife has an X coming. How else would she take those HD selfies for you pervs.
My 6 is only a few months old. No damage. Ive only ever sold my phones and stuff to people I know, so theres no hidden drama or scams like kijiji.

im on the iphone 7plus. i use my phone a lot and use it around the world. Dished out a lot of money on this, but this will probably be my last apple. Gonna head over to the other side after this. The phones are just more affordable.
