Who's getting the iPhone 5? The biggest news is that Sprint was rumored to finally be getting the iPhone, and they're the only carrier who still has an everything plan (although that may change!).

But if you're locked into T-Mobile? It's confirmed they won't be getting the iPhone 5, at least. So what to do? Used Cell Phones!

Used cell phones often have finds, like popular phones someone couldn't afford, or the second newest most popular phone discarded by someone fickle. If you want a new iPhone for T-Mobile, better check out used cell phones.

Plus, if AT&T gets the merger to go through (they're currently selling spectrum to try and win trust) you may want to have a phone to take with you when they hike rates…and used cell phones are often also unlocked cell phones, so you can just jump carriers.

Even if you aren't an Apple fan (or don't want inferior service…the iPhone can only access T-Mobile's EDGE/2G), other popular phones aren't all coming out on T-Mobile. Samsung is currently producing the best rated Android products, but it's not certain that T-Mobile is carrying them. Again, many of these can be found in the used cell phone market.

And if you don't want a new, pricier phone? Get a phone that's tested or true, phones that survive to be used cell phones are generally durable, with great batteries, cameras, and UI.
