Did you pay retail or upgrade for the iPhone6/6+?

Yep. We have 4 lines each with unlimited. All lines eligible for upgrades. I upgraded and got a 64GB 6 for $299 and still kept my unlimited and grandfathered 700 minute family plan with mobile to ANY mobile, roll over minutes, unlimited text and aList.
I paid retail because it's less money over the long term. I pay 25 dollars a month for my unlimited data and text with 2.5 gb a month. ( t-mobile family plan is 100 dollars for 4 lines ).
Full retail, it's much cheaper over two years and I'm not tied down to anything.
It's a little less than $500 extra when I get the phone, but I pay $50+ a month less.
Basically if it's a $500 difference, it can't be more than $21 more a month to be on a contract or you're wasting money. Also don't forgot about how much you'll pay in taxes and fees compared to a prepaid plan that includes them.

Paid $1027 with tax for the 128gb 6 Plus. I upgrade yearly then sell previous phone on eBay. Net is about the same as upgrading with subsidy from carrier. But I get the new whizzy phone yearly. I pre-ordered the 6 Plus through Verizon, it doesn't ship until 10/31
