I didn't bring my own phone to the agreement. My previous phone was on a two year Mobile Share Value contract & I was allowed to keep that iPhone5s without penalty. The monthly fees I will pay this year include an installment amount on the iPhone6. The monthly installment amount depends on which phone you select. The only up front cost to me was tax on the new phone. When the next phone is released, I will trade in the iPhone6 to AT&T & get the new model with the continuing monthly payments. If I choose not to trade up at that time, I can continue the monthly payments for a total of 20 months & own the phone. Here's a chart from Apple comparing the plans. Click on the carrier & then on the plan names under the carriers.
>>> My iPhone5s was purchased on a two year contract in September 2013. When I switched to the NEXT plan this year my total up front cost was $38.44 which represents tax on the iPhone6 & I kept the old phone. >>> Pat >> >> What will your costs be when you decide to upgrade again next October, and turn in the phone you just got new? > > Within $10 annually versus the two year contract factoring in the ETF & the sale of the older phone. I used the amounts for ETF & older phone sale that applied last year when I bought the 5s. I'll know for sure at this time next year! > Pat
Do you mean that next year you get a new phone with no purchase cost or down payment, and the same monthly charge as you are paying now, when you brought your own phone to the agreement? That does not sound financially workable for ATT.
