Any news on the unlimited data on AT&T?johnnyrock62000 said:
To keep unlimited data you can NOT get the phone via subsidy. You must pay full price for the device (600-950 bucks).
Is the installment (AT&T next or whatever verizon calls it) payment plan on the full price an option?
I didn't bring up my job discount to them in person. I did online and they said it should be okay. I'll tell the store the same, that online said it would be fine. However, as stated below your reply on the last page... it is a great plan.
Think I can switch to this after I get the phone?
I am not with AT&T, I was just going off what I've read on several other forums. There may be exceptions to the policy, but a quick Google search will confirm that's the typical modus operandi
Actually a quick visit to iFixit.com and some basic tools and anyone can change out the battery on the iPhoneHarry Manback said:Hey look at this guy!

I'm not getting the 6 because it is bigger, I'm getting the 6 because my 5 is 2 years old and I would like a longer lasting battery.
Yeah, I have an unlimited plan that comes dues on Jan 5, but they will let me upgrade via the NEXT program and keep the unlimited plan (or take $200 off if I just want to buy the phone outright which is the better deal anyway). I have no idea if they will subsidize it when it comes due though, but there are ways to keep the unlimited plan. Of course the only time I went over 2GB was when I was streaming the WC
That's false. I'm upgrading on Friday, extending my contract and keeping my unlimited data with a subsidized price.
Eta: my contract is up and I'm eligible for an upgrade, so not sure if an early upgrade will screw people. Entirely possible.
yep, they noted it on my account and told me to call back after I get the phones and they will waive the fees for all 3 lines.
I do this like clockwork.
Actually heard they were getting tough on that, good to hear it's still possible, thought I might get a fight when I called for the refund.
it is under contract.. maybe I should switch to Verizon when contract is up on November I hear the coverage is much better but I also heard the prices were higher
I think Verizon and Apple are planning to take over the world together, so I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon customers got their iPhones a little sooner.
Just called my local radio shack and asked about 6 Plus... he asked which model, I threw out VZW 128GB Grey. No problem. They had them available for release day.
This made me curious, so I called two different radio shacks and asked about the 6+ availability. Both stores gave me the 'we don't know what we'll be getting in - it's first come first serve' response.
Exactly what I was told this morning. I saw in this thread yesterday a person might find a 6+ in the caves of Radio Shack but no dice: Same story you just reported plus the guy told me his corporate-wide inventory was showing no 6+ available.
I know, I still can't fathom that Apple did that. Makes no sense that 32GB isn't the base model. 16GB to 128GB is quite a leap. I'll likely go with the 64GB, just trying to figure out the whole cost of everything if I switch to Next versus my current plan.
Very interesting. I'm AT&T, and right now show a shipping date of 10/13-10/22.[icon] said:

They do a great job of marketing, there is no question of that. Some of that is the kinds of things that do irk Android users, because their marketing team will tout a feature as a brand new thing, when it's been available in the industry for years (and the the fans of Apple will often regurgitate those same marketing lines). And I'm not questioning why people prefer to wait for features from Apple, they do a good job of polish and smoothing out the rough edges users bump into when those things are first being tried.
ALLL good man. There are a few folks who contribute little but trolling here and are obnoxious about it. You've always been a great poster IMO. Particularly on tech content.Was just a bit concerned because of the tone earlier around launch day
