re: so AT&T no longer offers discount on phones?
Posted by King_Pooperton on 9/12/14 at 4:43 pm to TigerStripes06
Not all the time.
My aunt signed up for it because it ended up being cheaper in the long run for the Galaxy S4 Mini.
You don't pay an activation fee when you use the Next plan, which saves $40. And the monthly fee was like 13$ as opposed to the $15 monthly fee for subsidized pricing. She's planning to have that same phone for longer than 2 years, so at that point the extra 13$ will drop off her bill. In that case, it was cheaper to go with the Next program.
Most new smartphones and iPhones will not be cheaper, and you will end up paying more in the long run with Next. Just saying in some situations, it's actually a little cheaper.

You have always paid full price for the phone, it was just better hidden than it is now.
Now they show you exactly where the costs are, and what you're paying for.
With the mobileshare plans, you have the option for subsidized pricing (the contract upgrades, $600 phones for $199, etc) but your monthly bill is increased by about $15 per line.
It's particularly beneficial for people who can go longer than 2 years on the same phone, or those who like to get their phones on the cheap on ebay/craigslist etc.
In some instances, the Next program can actually save you some money. Depends on the outright cost of the phone.

Cheap, writes the best out of all my pens, and it doesn't look half bad.

I've heard that an old fire hose filled with sand is a great make-shift speed-bump.
