Just to clarify, you are saying under these new plans there will be no more $200 up front for the phone fees if you are paying for the phone on the 24-month subsidy?

Also, are these new plans going to push everyone who is on the grandfathered unlimited data off of that when there contract ends?

For the first part, correct. Since you are paying the phone over 24mos, you don't pay anything except tax at point of sale.

For the second part, if you switch to the new plans, you are giving up whatever current plan you have, yes.
