Is AT&T Next worth it?

[Gjwilly]

No, the point of NEXT is to entice customers to upgrade sooner (same with Edge and Jump). Thats where they make their money. They are assuming that most people won't care enough about what they've paid and will be fine trading in their device for the latest and greatest. People who keep their phone for the full 24 months will be the exception, not the norm.

But that has nothing at all to do with the value of the plan.
Stupid people will be stupid no matter what plan they choose.
Next might encourage bad choices but they are still choices.
The plan itself can be a very good deal if you use it responsibly.

Thanks for all the info everybody.

I have one question, since I'm on an old plan structure, I don't currently have the extra service free right now (the $40 for subsidized phones, $25 or $15 for Next phones). If I were to upgrade using the 2 contract price next year, would AT&T force me onto a Mobile Share plan with the extra fee or do I get to keep my current plan structure?

So far, AT&T has let people keep their old plans when upgrading. I think it'll be the same this year.

Yes sir. My Plan costs me $51 after the discount (before taxes)!

I tried online and called in. I was told the $60 is a special and no other discounts apply. Not saying that yours isn't $51. Just that may have updated

I submitted mine online and received a text stating it had been approved. Even if I didn't get the $9 its still a better deal than AT&T has.

Are you sure? I just talked with Verizon and they said that the discount is not eligible on the single line plans.
