AT&T ups the ante - Will offer of the cheapest family plans starting Feb 1st

Plans comparison
AT&T Launches Best-Ever Prices for Families on its Best-in-Class Network
Note: These plans are for non-contract or phones bought through AT&T's NEXT plan only. You can't get a new subsidized phone for $200 if you switch to this plan. If you go with the NEXT plan any time after 12 or 18 months, you can trade in your smartphone for a brand new one, or choose to keep the smartphone and, after 20 or 26 months, no more installment payments are required. The NEXT plan will add anywhere from $25-$35 per month per phone for high-end phones.
So, in sum, the $15 is for existing customer lines. These new plans do not require a contract so you are going month to month. If/when you choose to change your existing device you have two options:
1. use ATT Next where you pay for the device over time (basically a loan tacked onto your monthly bill). or
2. buy a phone outright and keep the same cost per month.
Verizon better start moving quick or they will lose a lot of customers with their ridiculously inflated prices.

AT&T's coverage sucks in my area so i would be okay paying an extra $20 or $30 to Verizon so that i can actually use my phone.

I'm still staying with Verizon. It's worth a little extra $ for the best coverage.

It's about time they started competing on prices again. Seems like it was about 8-10 years ago before smart phone were so prevalent was the last time the carriers actually started competing on price. Cell phone service is ridiculously overpriced.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there an age restriction on a family plan?

AT&T coverage sucks compared to Verizon's.
I'll stick to Verizon's although I finally lost my unlimited data grandfathered in because I updated my phone.

So if I currently have 2 lines through att and I'm paying more than $130, does that mean I'm eligible or is this new customers only?
Because right now I'm paying $190 a month for mine and my wife's iPhones.

I currently have 4 phones on my AT&T plan and the bill is $245 a month. Will they drop me to this new price?

It doesn't seem that good at all
I have three lines on Verizon, pay 220 month
If I switch to AT&T I have to use the next plan, since my phones won't work on their network. So let's say I get 2 moto x's and an htc one, that adds $76 to my bill. $145 + 76 = $221
I'm not saving anything. Ot I can buy three phones at full price, yeah right.

Hopefully att buys out contracts... With those prices, I'll make the switch from vzw.
Posted on 2/2/14 at 8:47 am to hikingfan

Posted on 2/2/14 at 8:47 am to hikingfan

Verizon is still worth the extra money to be able to use the phone and internet in an extremely crowded place like an lsu or saints game. That pissed me off when I was with AT&T.
Posted on 2/2/14 at 10:40 am to hikingfan
Looks like my wife and I are still cheaper on tmobile
Posted on 2/2/14 at 10:48 am to hikingfan
Is the ATT Next a good option? Seems like you pay monthly for the devices rather than up front. I'm considering going to ATT and getting two new phones and an ipad

A lot of you are talking about unsubsidized phones, and this discussion whether ppl can afford it. But really what needs to stop is these cell companies charging ridiculous prices for off contract phones. I laugh when they try and argue that a phone is worth lets say $800 full retail. And let's say $100 with a new two yr contract. It's just their way of roping ppl into a new contract. They should find a middle ground and just charge ppl that much for the phone. If they did this, there would be no need to charge more for anyone's rate plan.

I'll never change my plan.. I'm still one of the few with AT&T unlimited data
