Andrew, Besides buying a used 5S, another way to save money on iPhone ownership is in the choice of wireless service. I wrote the article "iPhone on the Cheap" on AppleVis. by using a carrier other than At&T or Verizon, one could pay one-third the cost of wireless service. Often this means simply switching to a virtual network operator that buys data and minutes from the major companies in bulk and resells them at a discount. Many are paying about $30 or less for service that includes generous amounts of calls, data and texts.
