Switching phones/SIM cards/Nexus 5X

I just replied and it didn't seem to take....

Edit: Got impatient with the moderating. Sorry

I don't know anything about the buy one get one deal, because my wife and I would have to agree on what makes for a good phone. Fat chance there.

I would imagine it's the same, though. Pay off all the monthly payments and keep both, wth the bill credit continuing afterwards, and then decide what to do thereafter. Or turn it in after 12 (I don't know what happens to the free one) and do another Next or buy one from ATT. If you do another Next, you get the bill credit. If you buy outright from ATT (and you'll have to buy from them) you won't get the bill credit. You only get the bill credit if you do a Next plan or bring your own device, but not if you pay full upfront, as I recall. Seems counterintuitive. But that's how they get you to keep upgrading through them.

Haha, they do have a way of keeping us in the fold, no matter how poorly they treat us! After getting our new phones, I called up and worked out a bunch of credits and a better plan (long story - I got screwed with the Unlimited Data deal) but only about 1/3 of the things I was offered actually made it into the system. Calling back, they treated me as if it was someone I met at a bar who had agreed to everything, not one of their employees.

Luckily I've never had any customer service problems. I think they look up my account and see I've been with them since the Cingular Wireless days and give me what I want.
