   T-Mobile in northern New York and Vermon is very weak.   
   However, some of their packages allow/allowed roaming onto AT&T (not   
   sure about their new marketing campaign impact on roaming).   
      
   Example: Port Henry NY has no T-Mobile native coverage, only AT&T.   
      
   And carefully compare plans. T-Mobile announces unlimited for $70, but   
   it is really 26gigs (throttled after, and always throttled for tethered   
   and if you watch video). AT&T has a prepaid package for $45 that is   
   unlimited, and thortled after 3 gigs.  (before discounts iuf you agree   
   to automatic billoing and I assume in postpaid, the package is more   
   attractive).   
      
      
   With regards to the upgrade:   
      
   Although likely not the best deal, Apple has/had a trade-in program   
   where they will give you *some* money for your 5 in exchange for buying   
   a new phone. Apparently, that amount is less than what you could get on   
   Ebay. And phone has to be in very good condition to get any value back.

   An iPhone 5 is listed as being worth $75.
