Kim and I will have two to sell if you want one. -- nm - David Aug 31, 11:22 13
- hit me up when you're at that point. Everyone in my house is on a 4s and my wife and son specifically both could use upgrades - oblique Aug 31, 11:27 12
  - FWIW, ATT will give you $200 for the iPhone 4s if you buy a newer phone. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:29 11
    - don't want to deal with the providers. monthly costs are too much comparatively. Her straight talk service (essentially unlimited) is $45/mo. flat - oblique Aug 31, 11:31 10
      - AT&T is unlimited talk/text now as well. It was more than T-mobile but not much worse. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:37 9
        
        I'm curious too how you got to $145? Three smartphones based on their rates published is $220 ($100 + $40/phone) -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:44 6
        
        You get a $25 discount per line if you have more than 10gb of shared data. - iSpam Aug 31, 11:46 5
        
        You may also have to do AT&T Next, which is the financing plan. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:49 4
        
        Well, I pay $30/mo avg for the kids two phones on Ting + $45 for my wife but we have to buy our phones (which you have to do anyways) - oblique Aug 31, 11:51 2
        
        That's fine, I was just surprised that it's almost competitive now once you figure out their plans. -- nm* - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:54 1
        
        That is much better than it used to be. This change to making everyone pay for their devices is going to level things out I think -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:56
        
        I'm worried they may try to get me to move to a new plan this year. I have grandfathered unlimited everything. -- nm - fabulous squad Aug 31, 11:50
        
        $145 billed each month or "you're paying $145 but your bill is really 180"? -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:39 1
        
        It doesn't include taxes but we get a 17% discount through my wife's Union. -- nm - iSpam Aug 31, 11:46
We did last night because my wife refused to wait and we got an end of month deal from AT&T - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:18 3
- technically it is still August :) -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:21 2
  - Yeah. We were switching back from T-Mobile so AT&T groveled themselves. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:23 1
    - we're all no-contract here now (StraightTalk and Ting). Buying phones is expensive :) -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:24
I believe Sept. 9th is their next release/event -- nm - decline Aug 31, 11:05 1
- I suspected this might be about that time, thanks -- nm - Max Aug 31, 11:06
