Apple Upgrade Program
I want the iPhone X, and I am planning on financing through Apple. However, I cannot get a clear answer from any of the people I have to talked to at AT&T about whether this would cause my bill to go up. The people I talked to said they believe that it would make my bill go up because the monthly payment for the phone would be added to my bill. I don’t understand why. Apple uses Citizens One for their financing, so they payments would be charged to the credit card I use to sign up initially. Since the payments would be charged to my credit card, would it not appear to AT&T that I was activating a fully paid for iPhone? The reps told me the only way my bill would not change is if the phone was paid for in full.

I suspect the reps saying your bill would go up thought you were signing up for a Next plan through Apple, which is entirely possible. However, since you are using Apple’s financing program, your ATT bill won’t change.

You may have spoken to people that don’t realize Apple has its own financing.
They must live under a rock, but it’s possible. 🙄

That’s what I thought. I specifically told them when I called that I was going to do Apple financing, not Next. All three people, and a person claiming to be a manager, seemed unaware that Apple offers their own financing.
Thanks for the info!
