I think these new plans do away with any subsidized upgrades. You either bring your own device, pay ATT full price or enroll in the ATT Next program where they finance the purchase of new phone over 24months on your bill
Apparently there are two options on Next
We offer two AT&T Next installment plans for smartphones:
AT&T Next 12 offers 20 monthly payments for your new smartphone and a trade-in option after 12 monthly installment payments.
AT&T Next 18 offers 26 monthly payments for a new smartphone and a trade-in option after 18 monthly installment payments.
According to the wesite these options are exciting.

I am fine with using Next if I had to, ATT doesn't charge any interest on the phones using the Next plans. I've purchased my last 2 phones on our account anyway. The last upgraded phone I did, I ended up shattering the screen and had to buy a new one anyway after the repair didn't work out right.
It is a good plan if you are not one of those that wants the new iPhone. The iPhone carrier savings is $500 or $250 a year. The other phones are not supplemented nearly as much.
Well AT&T mobile share smart phone per month was raised to $40 per smartphone with 2 year contract. The price difference for 2 years between the contracted (subsidized) and no contracted plan per phone would be $600.
I don't think anyone would pick $40 over the $15 plan because of the subsidized phone. Now for $30 per month, it is doable since it would be $360 more and if you buy a new iPhone every 2 years, you saved about $140, but you HAVE to buy a new phone every 2 years to get the saving. If you even skip a year you will end up paying $40 extra. But all that doesn't matter, AT&T is going to switch you automatically to the new $15 plan today... according to the site if you are on a 10Gb+ mobile share plan...

I bumped my plan up from 4GB to 10GB today, $5/month more. I only have one 4GL smartphone and a tablet, but I may add another soon.
The plan I am grandfathered in is still cheaper than this newest plan even. They even bumped up the data from 2 GB to 3 GB this past month for no additional cost.
$100 per month savings here. I have 4 smartphones. The kicker will be coughing up the full price when upgrades happen but one family meber seldom upgrades and another does constantly (with unlocked phones) so the impact is on the two phones that upgrade on 2 year cycles and the occasisoanl upgrade on the last phone.
depends on your needs
The MVNO s were given better wholesale rates in December, and now AT&T skewers them with this plan.
Makes me laugh.
.
I had my iPhone 4 with StraightTalk (AT&T) for two years @ $45/mo. (2500mb)
Now, I'm on H2o for $30/mo. (500mb) A plan that didn't exist 'till December.
(Yes, unlimited text & talk in both cases)
.
I figure just the $15/mo savings is enough for a new Moto G every year!
.
Today, everyone seems to have multiple lines, so this AT&T offering seems attractive.
The single user still has better options, though.
So shop around.

Agreed. I think that anyone with 4 or more phones comes out ahead with this. You can even put the purchase on Next without paying interst if that suits your budget.
As anole said though I don't see it working for single phone accounts.
Yeah I checked it out for a single phone account $15/month off contract bonus is less than if you upgrade every 2 years.
More people buying their own phones could change the marketplace to where more manufacturers will compete on the price of their phones.
