Question about increased mobile access charge when upgrading to iphone6

you wont see it because your not on a mobile share value plan.  With unlimited data and if you use said data to the fullest then I would not switch either.  So you would just pay the upgrade price for your phone.  

The mobile access charge does not apply to your plan.

Call often to see if ATT has the same plan at a lower price. Often the try to be comperable to Virizon... This the same plan is cheaper att wont lower your price unless you call in. Also I would talk to the cancelation department. Threaten to leave to Virizon this is only a *bluff* the reps get insentive money to keep you at ATT.

I use to work for ATT wireless in 2010 in a call center

Thanks Ace!

glad I could help

One thing that's good about AT&T is that when you upgrade, they don't force you to get a new contract, or change the other terms of your account.  You make a change though and you often times can't go back to what you left behind.  But as long as you hang on to your plan it's yours.

Not true.  When I upgraded my son's phone he lost the $15/month pricing on his line.  Now his line costs $40/month.  We were not told that the pricing on his line would be taken outside of our Mobil Share Value plan pricing if he upgraded his phone.  So now, in addition to the cost of the phone ($200) and one time upgrade fee ($40), his line is costing us an additional $25/month, or $600 over the two year contract.  If anyone else under our plan upgrades thier phone, the same result applies . . . an additional $25/month/line.

True, my comments are based on my experience with the mobile share plan (which we switched to less than a year ago after being promised a much lower monthly bill in exchange for giving up our unlimited data -- only to learn that by upgrading our phones, the promised monthly savings was lost. In otherwords, AT&T got us off an unlimited plan and we were left with an even higher monthly bill than when we started). As explained to me by several different AT&T reps, the net result with the NEXT option is similar to the contract option because the phone ultimately must be paid off.  I would love to have a knowledgable AT&T rep explain the $ difference between contract and NEXT, i.e., the relative monthly costs and the total costs over the 2-year contact/NEXT installment period.
