I was with Sprint when they converted from GSM. My "new" replacement phone was an older refurbished model. They only agreed to do this after a class action lawsuit. Sprint was willing to just let the old GSM system die. Everyone on the old GSM system would then have to move to the new system to get better coverage, with a new much higher cost plan.
They tried to raise the cost of my grandfathered plan. They only restored the original cost after a class action lawsuit. About a year later I had trouble making calls. I found out that my phone needed a new channel map, only newer phones could be updated over the air. I had to go in to have it done. When I went in they told me that the phone was an older model and no longer supported. I would need a new phone which I had to pay full price for. My grandfathered plan didn't allow for subsidized phones. I left Sprint and went back to the GSM system, by then it was part of Tmobile. I suspect the AT&T plan for replacing handsets is similar to what Sprint did.
