With the different options, just seeing how most people will pay for their phone
Same here, I have my alarm set, order, roll over and go back to bed....outright. I am hoping to be in bed by ":02" using the app.
Outright through AT&T NEXT. I can't stand for paying for a random line I only use to upgrade or signing two year contracts. I like to upgrade every years so for me There's no question NEXT is the best route. Ordering at 3am EST
Lol. I know. I work for AT&T. Not changing carriers. If you lay $650-$950 for a phone regardless of financing or down at time of purchase, it's 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other to me lol.Outright and AT&T Next are opposites. Sure you don't have a contract with Next, but you are financing the phone and you do agree to keep service active until you pay the phone off. If you look at your My AT&T account it will show your service commitment date which will go through the date when you are expected to pay it off.
Buying outright is paying full price at the time of purchase. The phone will still be locked to the carrier you activate it on, but most carriers including AT&T will unlock it for you. A few months after release Apple typically offers factory unlocked phones for full price.
