But people will still jump carriers. I just signed up for AT&T's plan in September. If I'm not satisfied after I pay off the phones, I'll probably jump back to Verizon. Much more to it now than just 2 year contracts. Some people always want the latest and greatest and will buy the new phones.

Yes, people will still jump carriers. Yes, some people will still always get the latest and greatest.

Some, like me, would prefer a lower bill and buy one a model older to save $100 over the life of the contract.

Right. People now have the option to lower their bills by using old phones. Some will go further than you and use phones 3 or 4 years old and save much more than $100.

some of us poor suckers have multiple family members with phones.

my 2 teenagers:
- son upgraded from myTouch (bought for $50/ea on ebay a couple years ago) to my old nexus 4 and has been loving it
- daughter upgraded from myTouch to motoG (which she recently dropped and shattered) to my OTHER nexus 4 that the wife used
- wife has a swappa iphone 5s i upgraded her to after years of trying to 'embrace' the nexus 4
- 7yo step daughter has a 'wifi only' LG leon i paid $45 for last year before my trip overseas. it was just sitting around not being used so she gets to video hangout with her dad & do lots of stuff
- i upgraded from a HTC HD2 to the nexus 4 to a cragslist nexus 5 which i'm still rocking

so in short, we aint got no new tech at my house but at $120 (after taxes) for 4 lines with tmo i'm not complaining.
