I'm gonna return this iPhone.
I called the T Mobile store and I can't get the JUMP program.

Monthly Payment:

70$ Unlimited EVERYTHING (Including LTE Data). NO THROTTLE.
22$ 16 GB iPhone 5c (+$99 one time payment for 5s)
10$ Jump Program (Includes Insurance. $150 deductible for cracked screen)

This is a NO CONTRACT plan.

So it comes out to $102/mo + tax. Benefits are unlimited everything, including data. T-Mobile is great in LA so I don't have to worry about coverage. It is good. After 6 months, I can switch out my 5c for the new iPhone if I want, whenever that comes out. You just pay a new upfront fee (if there is one) and then it assumes the new monthly fee, whatever the new phones monthly fee is. 5s and 5c are $22. You then give back your old phone.

$102/mo. Unlimited Everything, No Contract. Upgrade every new release. Reliable service. Sold.

I'm gonna do this.

I just go to ATT and return my phone and cancel my line right? Is it that easy. Do I get my $50 tax returned too?

Man, I would never pay triple digits for a cell phone. Just on principle alone.

As for returning it to AT&T, remember theres a $35 restocking fee when you do.

Did you buy off contract $650 and now use $70/mo no jump program just service?
And then when next phone comes out you sell it and pay the difference for the new one?

**** no, I hitched on a AT&T family plan and pay $35/mo ($9.99 for the extra line and $30 for unlimited data with a 20% employer discount).

If I ever needed to bite the bullet and switch carriers then yeah, I'd simply do pre-paid as there are ton's of options out there such as Virgin Mobile USA, T-mobile $30/mo plan, Page Plus Cellular, AIO wireless, Lyca Mobile, etc.

$100+/mo for phone service is a price ceiling that I just won't cross.
