Not sure about that. Even under the older plans, when you go to "upgrade" they automatically change (increase by $25) your charges for the network access if you don't use the next option. Now if you show up with your own phone that you bought somewhere else, you are right, no plan change.

Can anyone explain to me like I'm a child the catch with the ATT next plan?


Which is better the old way ($199 up front) or this New Next plan?


What's the difference in the two?

Incorrect. My wife and I have had the same plan for nearly 8 years. 700 shared minutes, unlimited data, 200 texts each. $140/month. Every two years we upgrade phones for $199 + one-time $40 upgrade fee (mine was $249 this time since I got the Nexus 6). No additional charges to our account. If I bought a phone outright instead, our plan would still be $140/month. Nothing changes. Our 24-month costs, including flagship phones and upgrade fees, are around $600 less than the so-called "cheaper" $130/month 10GB plan with ATT Next.

This is probably the fifth time I've had to explain this to someone here.
