"Exactly, so I am paying an extra 25$ for 24 mons which is $600 extra dollars I did not have to pay before. In otherwords, I am paying more money- and that is not a better "deal". I was able to save some money with switching to the mobile share plan but I get penalized with getting a new phone so I decided NOT to get a new phone and suffer. "
Before when? About 18/19 months ago AT&T announced you could get a discount if you were out of contract. What a short memory!
So here we go again... You get a DISCOUNT for being OUT OF CONTRACT.
If you enter a NEW contract, you LOSE THE DISCOUNT.
FYI, all carriers are now making it clear that you must pay for your own phone and you always have been. 2 year subsidy plans are on their way out. Enjoy them while they last.
