Yeah, but you can get a 25 dollar discount if you pay for the phone through the next plan or pay upfront
Careful with this statement. It does not apply to every AT&T user. Some are on older plans with unlimited data, where contract-price phones actually are cheaper in the long run.

There was a day back in Feb of this year that AT&T made the "cut-off" day for the 2yr contract plans. They didn't retroactively change the pricing of people under a contract.. but any 2yr contract after February whatever, 2014 is subject to the new, more expensive pricing.
So eventually, when everyone's 2yr contract is up and they go to get another 2yr contract they will be subject to the new pricing. And it's basically a wash between that and the other plan.
ETA: but yea not sure how it works with unlimited data plans.

Right
It only applies to the mobile share plans
And I think it only applies to data plans 10gb or higher, otherwise the discount is only $10 a month

Wife and I are on an old unlimited data plan, and just in the past month we both got new phones for the subsidized price with new contracts (her an iPhone 6 and me a Nexus 6). Kept our original plan (hell, I even did mine online, which was surprising that AT&T's site didn't try to trick me into getting off my unlimited).
For us, there is no scenario in which it would be financially sound to switch to the newer plans, even though we pretty much never go over 10GB (or even 5-6gb) between the two of us.

Press 1 for Spanish then start talking English - your call will be moved to the top of the on-hold queue.

5c is free and 5s (16g) is $99 with a 2 year contact @ cspire
I was thinking it would be something like this... But they said it's actually going to be 599.00 with a 2 year 24.99 payment. Someone else said that was correct before you posted... So who's right?

I'm amazed at some of the shite asked on the OT.
Would not shock me to see someone ask what to do while in a live medical emergency.
I know there's plenty of OT docs on here and all but still...

Both are correct.
The $599 or $24.99 payment plan is without a contract.
The $99 is with a 2 year contract.

Oh ok, I gotcha...
Can you tell me why it is so much more of you don't do a contract?

If you have the 2 year contract, your bill is probably $25 more per month than it would be if you switched to the 'Next' plan and paid for your phone in $25 installments for 2 years. Basically, it pays off to switch to the Next plan if you keep your phones for longer than 2 years. Any less time, and it's pretty much a wash.

I am with CSpire as well. I went Monday to check on this exact thing. They no longer have the 5c 16 gb. It's either the 8 gb for free or the 32 for 49. The 5s is 100 samolians. That was the price to upgrade.
