AT&T Next Via Apple.com

[highertechnology]

Lets get this out in the open: I DONT TRUST AT&T!!!

I would like to pre ordere with Next and would prefer to use Apple.com over ATT.com because I would actually like to receive my device on the 19th.

I saw this article a while back and it said Apple would be offering carrier financing in Apple stores for new devices.

I also talked to ATT local store and they said Apple retail store should offer next as long as Im not currently in a next program on the lines I will be upgrading.

Anyone have any specific info regarding this?

Try upgrading to a 5S on Apple.com and select a Next plan. Do you get an error message?

Didnt even think of trying a 5s. I guess it is available. Awesome!!

Nice...it seems it's ok for everyone except NYers.

If you go to the Apple store website and view the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus options, it does show information about "carrier financing" and "AT&T Next":

Has anyone tried chatting with Apple to confirm?

We have 5 iPhones on a mobile shared plan of 15 GB. I bought the 5S last October.

If i select Next 12, nothing will change in regards to my shared plan right? I don't know this because i was thinking of buying contract free but don't want to risk it not being unlocked.

Pretty sure the only thing that changes is that you would get billed extra $ a month for the iPhone you purchase. Think it ranges from $27-$50 or somewhere around that.

Yes, that is correct. ATT said that to me tonight as well. I will still preorder with Apple tonight though. Lol.

Why does it matter to ATT about where you purchase the NEXT phone from?

It doesn't matter to them, I am just stating that I will preorder on Apple even if ATT is doing the same thing.
