Fresh off the heels of Verizon’s leak, AT&T makes their upgrade plan official. Starting on July 26th, AT&T subscribers can enjoy a new way to get a new device annually. Here’s how it works: when buying a new device, you have to pay full retail pricing across the span of 20 months w/ no finance/upgrade fees & no $$$ down either. After 12 months, you have the option to trade your working device in for another one. If you trade-in, the remaining 8 months are considered paid as you start making 12 payments on your new device w/ no $$ down.
Wanting the newest device all of the time will cost you more than others.
Monthly Next payments can vary from $15 -$50 extra added onto your monthly bill. For example, a 16GB Galaxy S4 would be an extra $32 monthly as the full retail pricing is at $639. A good thing to mention is that there are no penalties for paying your device off early. AT&T’s Next plan is more like T-Mobile’s contract-free, monthly installment plan. What do you guys think of this one? A good move or badly done? Sound off below.
