[apple-iphone] Re: From Jan. 8, AT&T will no longer offer two-year iPhone contracts

I will definitely check them out, Roger. When I got my first phone, ATT offered the best reception in my Vermont town. But coverage has expanded dramatically with all carriers since then. My son uses T-Mobile in Dallas and is happy with it. If their coverage is good here, I'll switch.

Thanks for the info.

Cathy, be sure to really check out T-mobile!
They offer 6GB per phone plans. You can stream unlimited music and video and it won't count against the 6GB. That's pretty amazing as those have historically been the data hogs. Also they offer a data stash that you can pocket unused data into future months for when you may need to exceed 6GB.

My coverage is pretty amazing. I am getting a signal where I could not before with AT&T.

I am saving about $100 a month now. :-)

I have been with ATT for years as well, though always with an iPhone (3GS,4S, 5S.) They continued to charge me the same, too, after I completed the 2-year contract. We were paying for the subsidized phone after it was already paid up. I finally discovered this November that it is necessary to switch to a different plan to be charged less. I had to ask to get the info. I did lose the Unlimited data plan, but I'm not a big user so I was paying more for no benefit. A shared plan with my DH costs abou $20 less per month and gives us unlimited calls, unlimited texts and 2G of data.

I feel I've been had, though what they did was legal. It would be good business to at least notify customers that less costly alternatives are available if we choose to look into them. But I guess the business is into squeezing out every dime rather than pursuing customer loyalty. I'll be looking hard at all carrier plans before buying my new iPhone outright.
