iPhone 15 Plus 128GB for $5.99 a month ($19.85 bill credit / month)
iPhone 15 Plus 256GB for $10.99 a month ($17.63 bill credit / month)
iPhone 15 Plus 512GB for $15.99 a month ($18.18 bill credit / month)


Key terms

Is there a cheaper plan than the $65/ month att unlimited starter plan? $65+$6x36 months = $2556 is a lot to shell out over 3 years.

How does this work out for someone with a current iPhone still in their 2 or 3 year plan with ATT?
If theres no trade, do you have to pay that one off?

Any unlimited plan!

Activate/keep postpaid eligible unlimited voice & data wireless service (min. $75/mo. if new before discounts. Existing customers can add to their current unlimited plan, if eligible, which may be less). AT&T may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy.

Yes, you'd need to pay off current device, but you'd forego those remaining credits if that is applicable in your situation. If you have a recent device the existing promos where you trade in device may be more beneficial.

Thats the cheapest unless you have multiple lines or are a teacher/first responder (25% off)

You have to pay off the balance of the phone. The website shows how much of the balance you've paid off. Given that you're getting a $929 phone for $5.99 a month most likely means they give you a monthly credit.

E.g. 929/36 = $25.80 - 5.99 = 19.81 Credit per month

Which means if you want to buy the phone after 24 months you would owe a balance of 12*25.80 = 309.6

I've mentioned this in past posts. But the benefit of a contract phone is having multiple lines.

$2556 is the cost of the line for 3 years. Minus the cost of the phone at 929 = $1627 / 36 = $45.19 a month. Most unlimited providers that actually have decent connection speeds are around that price. But let's take the same equation into a 3 line plan:

Price per line - $45
Phone 5.99
= 51.99 *36 = 1871.64 - 929 = 942.64 / 36 = $26.18 per line per month....all of a sudden it doesn't look so bad anymore.

Something doesn't look right with the calculation. Didn't you minus 929 twice, once to get to the $45.19 and then again in your second calculation?

Cost per line with 3 lines at att is $45. I'm showing the costs per line with 1 line vs 3
