Ah yes, that explains a lot of it lmao. That amount you see does not factor in the cost of AT&T next, per the terms that you copied and pasted. Also, go on the AT&T website, check the prices of iPhones, and find me a single configuration with a monthly cost of $50 a month. It doesn't exist. Why? Because the 24 month installment doesn't exist. You really did not read your agreement at all since literally page 1 says it is a 30 month installment, and it sure as hell doesn't say that $50 a month rate you're talking about it because it doesn't exist. It's alright, at the end of the day its your predicament. I hope you like your current phone; you'll be using it for 15 months.
nope. Your wrong. cost to upgrade new phone now was like $47 when I view it on ATT website.
I also have a FAN account. I have read my contract numerous times and called ATT and it requires this which is what the ATT FAN account rep confirmed: AT&T Installment Plan with Next Up: Price includes monthly smartphone installment payment and separate additional $5/month Next Up upgrade feature charge to be upgrade eligible with qualified trade in when 50% of device cost of the financed device is paid off. Upgrade requires a minimum of 30-90 days on installment depending on credit and other factors (subject to change), account in good standing, trade-in of financed device in good physical and fully functional condition through the AT&T Next Up.
could not be clearer here. Taken EXACTLY FROM MY AGREEMENT (I have att next installment plan with next up).

i just really dislike when people provide incorrect information on these forums. $1199/2=$599.50 to upgrade in one year, that is 50% of my contract. Since I have paid a payment already that would bring it to the $559.53 price I indicated it would cost be now to upgrade.
