Don't Buy Glaxy S9 or S9 Pluse From your carier| Buy from SAMSUNG

                    

If you’re in the market for a Samsung Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9 Plus, you might think going to your carrier will get you the best deal. However, you’d be wrong: the best way to go is to buy your device direct from Samsung. 

Up until today, buying an unlocked version of the Galaxy S9 was actually cheaper than buying a carrier-locked version (sometimes up to $80 cheaper). Samsung just fixed that on the Samsung store, so now buying an unlocked device or a carrier-locked one is the same price.

Family plans – which carrier is the best for your family?

Unless you have AT&T and plan on sticking with it for a good long while, our suggestion is to buy unlocked. You get the phone for the same price and can switch carriers at any point in the future without having to go through the hassle of convincing your current carrier to unlock your device. Since Samsung has unlocked phones at the same price as carrier ones (aside from AT&T), you really have nothing to lose.
