This is confusing, please help me understand this change.
I now pay $230 for 4 line @ 6g (old plan). All 4 line is on contract till Sept 2015. I was thinking that if i change to 10g new plan i would have to pay $100 and $40 per line that's $260.
It is a little confusing. I think they are offering the $15/line incentive to people currently IN contract and out of contract in order to get them to switch from the old unlimited plan (or to get people used to using more data/month.. this is probably the biggest incentive).
My wife and I are under contract until January 2015, but we made the switch to this new value plan and we are now only paying $15/line (+ $100 for the 10GB allotment). Keep in mind, this will go back up to $40/line in the future IF you subsidize another phone (the standard $199 down on a phone and be locked in a 2 year contract). It will stay at $15/line if you bring your own phone to the table (buy full price or buy a used one from craigslist, ebay, etc.) OR upgrade with the NEXT plan.
call it courtesy, call it incentive to get people to switch, call it what you want, but AT&T is offering people in contract a chance to save money in the short term hoping to get them into this new model of monthly service costs being separate from phone costs.
