What is the incentive for staying with this ATT&T?
I have been using AT&T since it was once Cingulair. And I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. So I never mind paying a little more to get better service with you my plans. But now my two year contract is up. Like I have done in the past I want trade my phone up and sign up again. However I was told that now I can just trade my old galaxy s3 up and get a discount on something like a s5. I have to pay out right for it, and still sign another contract. I dont get why I would want to do that? Why would I wanna pay more when I already budget my phone bill for the past 2 years. The plan fine, the cycel of every two year I can upgrade my phone to the newest hottest device for max $200, has always had a charm. Why cant I do that anymore with out be penialized? I figure staying with the company means something. I just feel like just another faceless number.

Just because they are trying to save money on paper, you are still able to view your bill on line(PDF).

pay for the service.
But, it does mean that you do not have to pay MORE for the same service. I
have been with AT&T for many years...and I have selected "free" phones in
the past and not had an increase for keeping the same talk, text, and data
plan.
You are correct that you must be 18 to sign the contract...but it does not
mean that the web advertised price can be manipulated once you make the
selection. I don't think anyone believes that the phone and services are
free, be for real. But, my loyalty of signing a new 2 year agreement is
worthless to AT&T because they would rather be in the business of
smartphone finance. 18-year-olds (in age and mind) often want devices that
are out of their price range...so they finance. No problem, but that is not
my problem, so why should I pay for it.
Where is honest and fair pricing??? Anyone know?

All mobile data share plans have a $40 fee for adding a smart phone to the plan. You get a DISCOUNT for not choosing subsidy pricing. I.E. Next or buying outright clearly stated everywhere. Know what you are buying. If you choose subsidy pricing obviously the phone is out of your price range as it is more expensive to buy outright.

So, if you buy a new car (same exact model, different year, same number of
quarts of oil, etc..) and you take it to the same dealer for your regular
oil change and they charge you $25 more because you bought a new car from
them...is that a penalty?
I've bought several cars from the same dealer for years...NEVER have they
increased the cost of a basic service because I gave them more business.
If a dealership can figure that out...and AT&T can't...WOW!
Have you checked their stock prices? But, there is one good fact about the
tenacity in which "customers" are defending these tactics. I should
continue to receive my dividend checks...since so many people like paying
more. LOL
Thanks AT& T customers...I'll cash the checks and spend them
elsewhere...maybe Verizon

I have never paid 30% of the cost of a car and agreed to a 2 year contract of buying service from the dealer. Apples and Oranges
