re: This AT&T Next plan is a joke, right?

How can it cost essentially the same?
You end up paying $750 over 30 months plus your bill.
I used to get a new phone for a penny or five dollars and that was it I just signed a two-year commitment and continue to pay my bill.

Your actual plan is cheaper on the next plan vs the subsidized 2-year plan. Either way, you are still essentially financing the phone. Either pay $200 every 2 years to upgrade and a higher monthly plan or pay a lower plan then finance the cost of the phone interest-free for 18 or 24 months.

You end up paying the exact retail value of the phone plus tax. You pay the tax up front, and then the price of the phone is divided into installments depending on your choice.
Straight from AT&T's site:
AT&T Next 24: Trade in and upgrade after 24 installments; 30 installments to payoff.
AT&T Next 18: Trade in and upgrade after 18 installments; 24 installments to payoff
AT&T Next 12: Trade in and upgrade after 12 installments; 20 installments to payoff.
AT&T Next with down payment: 30% of the device cost down and trade in and upgrade after 12 installments; 28 installments to payoff.
It's really not difficult to understand.

Well, that's gone. Now you have to pay full price your phone, whatever phone that may be.

Yeah you be much better off paying the $25 per month like you used to under the "free upgrade" system.
