I have an account with 3 phones on Tmobile. Only one which is my iphone 5 is on payment plan. Should I pay off the balance and sell the phone on craiglist or just trade it back to them and make a new downpayment on the new device?

I would say it depends on how much you owe on the device. In my market iPhone 5s still sell for about $400 on Craigslist, they may sell for more or less in your market. If you can get more for it via private sale I would consider doing that, just make sure you pay it off first.

Do we ever NEED a new device? But it sure is lots of fun to get a new toy.

Yes....(laughing)...I "need" a new MacBook now that my old one is no longer functional. Not having it has altered my morning and evening routines considerably...:)...still, I hear what you're saying, and you're right. It sure is a lot of fun getting a new toy.
