Planning on pre-ordering the new iPhone on Friday. Any idea how this will work for someone coming from a 2yr contract and looking to move over to a Att NEXT plan? I wouldnt need to pay upfront for phone if i'm technically leasing it via installments on NEXT.

You will just have to pay the tax on the phone...roughly $45-55.
 
Might want to add that the ATT Next plan is only worth it if you have a mobile data share plan. Not really cost effective in the long run if it's just for one personal line.

But how to pre order with next? Att will put up or page to do that or can you do that with apple?


Log into your ATT acct and check your upgrade eligibility? :confused:

I have a mobile data share plan and so you're saying this be may more cost effective than selling annually on eBay?

I did a test run on the apple site. Looks like Apple can handle all of it on their site.

Great news!
 
I am on a family share plan. I will pre-order a 128GB 4.7" and sell my 5s locally. Then I will apply the amount received to the Next balance to pay it off quicker.:D

Yea, I was thinking the same exact thing :D Just wondering how cost effective this will be the following year when it's time to upgrade to the iPhone 6s.

Perfect, thx. I was wondering how the billing would work when you pre-order if you switch to a Next plan where your only obligation is tax and the monthly installment charge, and obv my mobile share plan charge.

Thinking 5.5 64GB

I may be one of the few where ATT next benefits me while keeping my unlimited data plan. I have a family share and we split the price of the minutes by usage and I generally use 0 minutes every month so I end up just paying about 36 bucks a month :D

i ordered mine through the apple store app. they will give you and option if you want the 2 year contracted price or do the 12month or 18month payment plan. all you have to pay upfront are the taxes.
