How the hell did you get an iPhone 6 64GB for $299? The price for that phone unlocked is something like $900!

I did some research, and this only applies to iPhone 6 64gbs with AT&T. This is what your want since the iOS 8 uses a lot of space. Don't waste your time with the 16gbs addition or you will only have 11 actual gbs instead of 16 gbs to start. As Apps get larger over 2 years, then you will quickly run out of space.

I can keep my current rate of $115 a month. This includes 10gbss of data, unlimited texts and unlimited phone calls in all 50 states including it territories. This is IF I do the following

I add the iPhone 6 64gbs, then it will only cost me $31.25 extra a month for the next 24 months. That will pay for my phone. So I will not need to come up with $299 and it avoids the $40 activation fee too. At 18 months I can even upgrade to a different phone. If I do not change phones, then after 24 months my rate just goes back to $115 a month.

Again there is no down payment of $299, there is no activation fee of $40.

So all I'm looking at is $31.25(per month extra) x 24 (months) = $750 for the iPhone 6 64 gbs.

Now if you take the other option of paying $299 up front for the iPhone 6 64gbs . You still have to pay the $40 activation fee and your rate will still go up $25 anyway. So you end up paying $299 (iPhone 6) + $40 (activation fee) + 600 ($25 (a month) x 24 (number of months))= $940.

Plan A is $200 cheaper than plan B over 2 years.

Finally, AT&T offered me $200 for my current iPhone 5 32gbs. I think I can get more for it on Craig's List. My iPhone 5 looks and operates like it did on day one. I have zero problems with this phone.

Who said anything about unlocked? My contract is with AT&T.
