Last month we reported that the HTC Desire 530 smartphone had made its way to the US. The handset was initially announced by the Taiwanese company back in February 2016, before being released in March, but it was only last month that the phone found its way to retailers in the US, but better late than never, right?
Now the phone itself isn’t expensive at $179, but in case you’d rather not pay that price upfront, you might be interested to learn that the HTC Desire 530 can now be purchased from Verizon as well. The carrier is offering the phone in a monthly installment plan at $6 a month over the course of the next 24 months, which actually adds up to $144, making it cheaper than buying the phone outright from HTC (not counting your monthly usage bill).
Alternatively, customers who plan to activate a new line of service with the carrier can expect to pay $2 a month for the next 24 months, making the phone itself almost a quarter of HTC’s list price. However if postpaid isn’t something you’re interested in, don’t worry as Verizon will also be offering it up for prepaid customers at $99.99 upfront if you pick from one of the carrier’s prepaid plans.
For more details on how to purchase the handset, just head on over to Verizon’s website.
