For other people/current plans - there is an option to opt for no "2-yr phone subsidy" for a discount, or stay on current plan at the same cost with a 2-yr phone subsidy
For your (legacy?) plan, Sprint does not offer this for you.... you'll go directly to a new phone plan at the same...
it really depends on the provider and what your (legacy) plan covers
some providers allow you to continue to stay on your legacy plan, same price, allow 2-yr contract with "free"/subsidized phones. some don't
either way, the "free"/subsidized way is going away... the new plans typically have...
skip the OnePlusOne.... not worth the possible display/... issues (and when you have other phones to choose from)
Zenfone 2 (if you don't mind the bloat/size), or the Moto G 3rd Gen (will likely be the "Best" futureproof phone outside of a nexus)
tl;dr
there are some carrier-specific features that may or may nor be available
WiFi-Calling (Sprint/T-mobile) - likely not available
VoLTE (ATT/T-mobile/Verizon) - dunno... probably yes?
Verizon XLTE - yes, since it's officially supported on Verizon, has all LTe bands needed
Sprint Spark -...

we're comparing grandfathered unlimited plan (with no free upgrades), and More Everything plan + off-contract discount (also, no free phones)
hence, you don't add in the "free"/subsidized/EDGE-financed phone when you do the comparison
@Kelvarr, you'll save $50/month
does it make sense to save...
True
But in the past, the phone subsidy was hidden in the cost of service. If you don't pay the $199 upgrade fee for a new phone every 2 years(or$0 upgrade fee for older/cheaper phones), you are leaving money on the table for then carrier
That's why I say "forced to get a new phone" or it'll...
you could also consider EDGE...
EDGE would give you the same monthly discount... it takes that $550 retail price and splits it by 24 = $22.91... you pay that amount every month on top of your bill, instead of buying the device outright
EDGE is just an equipment financing plan as you can see...
