Let's talk phone plans/new phone costs...

Wife is due for an upgrade, I'm canceling my personal line because I have a work phone.
I'm looking for a plan with decent data and texting for a reasonable price. Also looking for a new iphone (not necessarily a 6, just a new one). Would like to pay ~$65/month for the plan (which I think is reasonable from reviewing other carriers websites).
We're with AT&T now and I logged on and didn't see an option to buy the phone outright. All are available for purchase through this plan where you pay $25+- per month for 2 years. That looks great to people who can't math but f paying $600 for a phone unless my bill drops that amount.
I'm not against switching to Verizon or another carrier.
Any advice?

The att next plans are just 0% financing of the retail price of the phone. Not sure why they aren't giving you the option of paying for the phone up front.

Take a look at your usage: minutes of talk, number of messages, and megabytes of data. I'm a light user of all three and found a pay-as-you-go plan with PTel that saves me a lot of money every month. Many people would be surprised at how little data they use because they're almost always connected to wi-fi. My last month's bill was $12. And you're always better off buying your own unlocked phone than rolling it into your plan. E-Bay is a good starting point to shop.
