Let's compare AT&T Next vs. the standard 2-year contracted agreement in the below example using the price of an iPhone 5s 16GB:
AT&T Next 2-year contract
Initial device cost $0 $199.99
Monthly installment payment $27 $0
Upgrade fee for your next device $0 $36
Eligibility for your next upgrade After 12 payments After 24 months
With AT&T Next, after 12 payments, you're eligible to trade in your device with an updated 20-month contract and new monthly payments. Additional fees and taxes may apply.
And with AT&T Next, if you keep the same device for the entire 20-month term, no additional installment payments are required.
