Non-Contract Price 5S?

[PTVMan]

Unfortunately I'm not eligible for an upgrade. I'm trying to find out how much the new 5S, 32GB, AT&T will cost off contract (not unlocked)?

Off contract price is the same as the unlocked price.

$649/$749/$849

I believe the 16gb will be 649$ off contract for 5S, so probably 749$ for 32?

I have never bought an off contract phone so I am unsure.

Thanks for replying! Are you sure - I thought the non-contract price was lower than the unlocked price? Or, I'm just full of it

I was able to do the Check Eligibility process on Apple.com and the non-contract prices are indeed lower than unlocked. See attached image.

That's still a contract price. You're not getting the full subsidy since you haven't waited the full 2 years since your last subsidy. You will be locked into another 2 year contract if you take the discounted price.

You're right. I confused terms in my original post. Yes, I was expecting to be locked into a 2-year contract. Thanks for the clarification.
