Sounds like the Easy Pay that we have at Sprint now, except for the $65/mo you get unlimited internet, too (and unlimited talk/text). Still pay over time for the phone ($27/mo. for the 16gb iPhone 6), and turn in the phone in 12 months to start another payment plan with another phone. Only sales tax due at purchase (depending on credit check).

Very good chance that 2-year subsidy pricing will be going away for ALL carriers (Manufacturers currently reimburse the carriers and that may stop, being as smartphones are getting so much more expensive). Pretty much all of the carriers are offering a no-contract lease-to-own (or upgrade early) option like the Next program. Which one you choose is how often you want to upgrade; 2-year if you hang on to your phone for a long time (and want to trade it in for a monetary value towards the next one), pay-over-time if you want to get whatever new one comes out each year (turning in the device to nullify the payment plan and start a new payment plan each upgrade). The second method does not give you the option of having any spare or backup phones, unless you keep your iphone 5, but the first method means that if you keep any phone as a spare, you're paying more out of pocket in store.

The bottom dollar is that you either get a discount on the phone (subsidy with 2-year contract) or a discount on the plan (Next  or other pay-over-time programs). You generally are only paying a couple bucks difference each month, except with the pay-over-time, you're paying less in store (not including trading in old devices), and you can upgrade more often.

The real question is: WTF are you doing in an iPhone? lol

Someone put that group in office mode a month or so back.

I don't really care about either of the teams playing in the SuperBowl this year, but if Morpheus singing opera is what the commercials have in store, I just might sit through it.

If you work for a phone store (I've been with Sprint for the past 10 months), the pay is good, but you have to deal with jerk customers. Knowing about computers would give you a big edge in the field, since phones are pretty much mini computers anymore. It's a great job to just have a job and get paid, and it's a growing business that will always need more people. On the down side, there isn't much room to grow with any of the companies, as most "promotions" tend to be lateral. And you might have to ignore the fact that most of the time, the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. But, that's pretty much anything to do with customer service.
