I've been with AT&T for many years now and have not kept up with the TMO pricing structure.
With AT&T, my Unlimited Data (grandfathered) with partner discount comes out to ~$75/month. With a new two year contract, I pay $200 for premium phones and get to keep them after my two years are up.
But TMO's pricing has me really confused. Looks like you don't pay $200, but instead you pay the same amount of money for the plan itself, in my case, probably $70-$80 after partner discount (for unlimited data). Then another $27/month for 24 months for the phone, instead of paying $200 up front.
The thing is, with AT&T that $200 divided by 24 months is only $8. So TMO's $27/month is $440 more expensive at the end of the 24 months?
