That seems unreasonable, I know with Verizon the phones at least had some discount as long as you signed a contract like my 6 only cost me like $300. Is there a reason you're with ATT?

Not always, I find buying on contract here for phone use + phone works out about the same as buying the phone outright and a sim only plan.

Apparently they have gotten rid of the contract plans that gave extreme discounts even at Verizon, I'm just living behind the times.........

Probably me too, I don't research these things a lot... I think contracts are more common in the UK than US going by what I've seen here.

Sprint is on that chart too. The total cost of the phone on sprints two year contract is 699. I know that sounds crazy but thats what i read. Not sure how they get away with that.

Ive been under att since...idk...prob mid 2000’s. I got on my own plan this past may. Problem is, other major carriers, plus smaller carriers, dont have very good rural coverage. Id either be on one bar all the time, drop calls a lot, or something. Its different when youre in the city.

Good morning! Appointment with therapist later today. I'm doing well. Went up to 20mm in my ears, staying at that size till I'm done with my RCIA program in May then going up to 7/8 then an inch. I can't wait to start school again! I'm only going to be talking one class at a time now.

It is good you are going up slow and allowing time between each gauge.

Damn...

I prob need to sell some stuff. Thing is, my parents have caught onto me buying a new phone every year. Now they dont want to help me anymore. I tried to explain to them that this is my only luxury i allow myself every year. I dont vacation, i barely buy clothes, ugh idk.

Ive been waiting for this phone since march. This is the first iphone i actually followed all the rumors since march and everything and watched my first apple keynote this year.

Idk what to do.

I just calculated it and the monthly price comes out to almost the exact price of the phone. Little under.

Well my boss called. Of course he had to call me back so I don't know what he wants me to do. So frustrating.

My boss is so erratic. Now he wants me to come in at 12:15-12:30 instead of 1pm. I'm at a coney island right now having a veggie omelet relaxing before he has us work until 8:30.
