re: ATT Smartphone plan, pricing, next, etc... Maybe Verizon?

So, ATT is offering $650 trade in value for all iPhone 6 models. This is paid over the course of 24 months at $27/month. So this is essentially a back end subsidy. Pretty solid deal IMO. I'll get the new iPhone 7 plus 128GB for $219, or about $9/month interest free. Can't really beat this.

I believe Verizon and others are doing the deal too.
