It’s tough for a lot of people right now. I you could look into getting a cheaper plan to lower your monthly bill. You can change your plan in your account online at anytime. I don’t know if you have any promotions on your account, but if you do than make sure you stay in an unlimited data plan.

at&t doesnt want your phone, the only way they would take it is as a trade in on a qualifying plan which i dont think after 6 months your eligable. you could always sell it on ebay or swappa and use that money to pay off the phone.
