Is there any difference in savings by using Next 12 or Next 18? Based on the ATT calculator I saw, it seems that both cost the same in the long run, the only difference is the monthly cost is different and you can upgrade earlier with Next 12.
Also, according to (http://www.attcalc.com/next/#calculate), with a iPhone 6 Plus 64 GB, the 24 mths Device Costs is $849.99, but the MSRP is 649, so that means I end up paying $200 more for the phone?
My other question is, if I buy the phone outright, will I still save the $25 a month on the shared plan, or no? What ends up being cheapest in the long run? It seems that if I can buy the phone outright and still save $25 a month, that would save the most. But if I had to pay $25 more for 2 years if I buy up front, then it ends up being $400 more a year.
I plan on being able to keep my phone for personal resale, and it seems that I need to make at least 20 installment payments. Can I pay it off earlier and then sell it privately? Would there be any benefit to buying a phone with Next and just paying it all off the first month?
Thanks.
