Does anybody have experience with buying a phone through the available options?

I've found that Public Mobile is the ideal solution when you bring your own phone, but I'm wondering what people do when they ultimately need to replace their phone. Are the options here suitable, or is buying outright a better choice?

• the test by telus team and the conditions of warranty is very good and is buying outright nice choice,
• Purchase device from (publicmobile.ca)

•  warranty has you covered for any manufacturer defects for 1 year (excluding Physical / Liquid damage), starting from the date of purchase. For more information on conditions, and instructions to submit a warranty claim Click here
  
  
• If you are not satisfied, you can return your purchase for an exchange or refund, with the original sales receipt, within 30 days from purchase date if bought online. Click link, for more information regarding our return policies.
• after 30-day If you are experiencing issues with your phone, and it no longer falls within the 1 year Certified Pre-Owned warranty period or physical / liquid damage is present, we recommend bringing your phone directly to one of Mobile Klinik’s established walk-in repair shops for quick.

These phones are not subsidized. You do buy them outright. As for suitability...that's up to your wallet and shopping skills. If you want the latest greatest then you'll have to get contract elsewhere or find a retailer that will sell outright.
