I have a 6. I want to pay the ETF in a couple of months to go month month. Possible? I do not want to leave ATT but I want to pay the ETF be considered month to month and pay 15/month instead of 40$. Has anyone done this before with any phone?

What does AT&T give you for $15 a month?
Canceling your account and paying the ETF will also lose your phone number.
I can not see a $15 per month plan doing anything for a smartphone.
Unless you're planning on leaving ATT, I'd say canceling it just to go to month to month doesn't make sense.
Plus if you cancel the contract outright (as opposed to leaving them), you'll lose your number. Canceling the contract will end your business relationship with them and they'll close out your account.
You signed a contract for a 2 year term, only when that contract expires can you go month to month. Anything before that will close your account.
For the line, not for the plan.

Thats what I thought, thanks.
Yep, $15 a month will not satisfy the needs of AT&T's contract to subsidize your phone cost.
OP, is within their 14 day return period;
Why doesn't the OP just change to ATT next. Simple.
this isn't rocket science here. Just tell ATT instead of paying the subsidized price, go on ATT NEXT. And you can pay off the phone in full whenever you want (after 2 payments).
Remember there are taxes on the $325 ETF. You pay taxes on that plus the $40 upgrade fee. You are not saving any money trying to pay off ETF a few months later.
Just go ATT next. You have time to switch over.
I did not want to do next, It's a cheaper monthly bill on contract so I chose to do that. This thread was created was just out of curiosity. If I could do it, I'd do it. Since I can't, Ill be perfectly fine remaining on contract.

Not sure why you wouldn't want to do Next. It keeps your $15 per line, takes you off contract, gives you time to pay it off whenever you like or trade it in on a new phone after a year. 0 down and 0 interest. If you took your down pyt refund and your ETF amount you were going to pay, you can apply that to the Next payments and have it paid off in no time and keep your value plan pricing.
I've yet to see a reason to actually USE the next plan...
why would you want to pay full retail (do the math...)for the phone when you can pay the subsidized price? Only thing I can think of is that they wont let you keep the plan you have unless you pay full price, but we're still on our original plan after upgrading our phones every other year...
If you're on the 10GB (or higher) plan with 4+ lines, Next comes out better in the end.
it's a flat fee per account? not per line?
