Hi Anita, I don't specifically know about AT&T's program, but Telus and probably other providers here in Canada offer something similar. One thing you can be sure of is that you do pay for the phone one way or another. What AT&T and companies who offer this will do is sell these 1-year old phones as used phones, especially with the iPhone the value will still be quite good, but If they offered the same monthly deal without charging for the iPhone while at the same time offering you a new phone each year, they would soon have no customers who would spend $199, $299 or $399 for a 5S any more. For people who like to have the latest and greatest every year paying a bit extra might be worth it.

Anybody using AT&T's next program, wherein you can get an iPhone 5S by only paying taxes on the phone? I was told gone are the days of buying the phone outright. I was told you can upgrade every 12 months. I was told each time a new iPhone comes out, you can upgrade without penalty. Is anyone using this program? If so, how do you like it? Do you not own your phone? Any feedback you have would be appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Anita also known as "Gadget Girl". Sent via my Apple gadget.
