OK, that is different than AT&T. While AT&T does have a couple of different not-contract plans, the 2-year contract has essentially 2 prices. If you get a new phone, the 2-year contract price is $15/month higher than if you bring your own device (say you bought a phone elsewhere). You are essentially paying $360 over 2-years for the phone plus any upfront costs. If you have been on a 2-year contract where you got a new phone when the contract started, at the end of the 2-year contract the price will drop by $15/month (the same as if you BYOD) since you have "paid off the phone". The contract at this point is month-to-month.

When the 2 years is up I will sell the phone to Verizon and take a new phone as long as it's free. The price never goes down after the 2 years, so I see no reason not to get new technology. So with my fuzzy math if the phone is worth $400 thats $16 per month off the $60, so its costing me $44 per month. If that phone is worth more, maybe I save $20 per month and then my bill is only $40 per month. I think its a great deal and when my dish internet contract is up I am dropping it, saving me another $60 per month.
