I currently have a family plan with four smartphones through AT&T. It seems every carrier is not trying to stop subsidizing phone prices as part of the plan cost.
I could save about $100 per month with the new plans, but it seems you will no longer be able to get phone upgrades as part of your plan with a new two year agreement. This AT&T NEXT plan instead allows you to bring your own phone or pay for it by increasing your bill each month.
For example, the new S5 adds $32.50 to your bill each month. After 12 months you can trade it in and get a new phone or pay on it for 20 months and you own it.
Do these plans roughly work out the same? Any thoughts?
