Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it's just a $25/line credit. On our plan we have 3 lines. before the ATT Next plans when we were buying subsidized phones for $200 we were paying $40/month per line "access fee". Now with ATT Next we are only paying $15/month per line for the access fee and the $35 or so a month for the phone. Now of course that is more than we were paying before $40/month vs $15 + $35/month, but I kept my phone for 2 years after it was paid off. So for those two years we weren't paying the $35/month for the phone.

Four years @ $40/month + $200 subsidized phone = $2,120 total
Two years @ $50/month + Two years at $15/month = $1,560 total.
