Why do AT&T keep changing their rules on upgrades!!!!????? Angry customer!

Yes I am, and just saw Sprint does. I think I'm changing to sprint.  AT&T keeps chaging rule and hiring prices not cool.

You sure about that? I only see leases and installment plans, no 2 year contracts. Regardless, just make sure Sprint provides the service you need where you need it before you switch. You won't be happy with any phone deal you get if the service doesn't work for you.

Yes I'm surely gonig to reseach before I do.

Sprint does offer contracts, but you pay $25 more for the line fee.

$200 up front and $600 more over 24 month contract, guess what?  You just paid $800 for a $650 phone!

Or you can choose the payment plans from any carrier and pay only the retail price.  

Like I said will do my own research thanks. They all suck!

You have other options.   You don't have to buy phones from the carrier.

 I don't want to pay $650 + for a phone either.  

My extended family has purchased 1 Nexus 6P ($600) , 2 Nexus 6 ($250 each) , 3 Moto Pure Edition ($200, $250, $250)  These are unlocked, universal phones.  

I have also purchased mint condition used phones off eBay for half the original retail price.

You will always pay more through the carrier.
