That's another $50 per month for the 20 month payment plan deal. So I'd be paying $190/month BEFORE fees and taxes. Not to mention that the corporate discount I currently get wouldn't apply anymore.
Or I could pay $180/month BEFORE fees and taxes for the same services, but be under contract for 2 years.
For me and my scenario, this is Project Fail. I'm gonna be super tight if I'm forced to switch to one of these plans when we want to upgrade our phones. If so, we're jumping ship to AT&T (gotta have GSM).
But if you think about the money you are spending on the phones initially and the amount of money you are saving per month, it either gonna be less or aboutthe same amount of money if you are paying MORE per month for service AND you are stuck in a contract. I would do the calculations but I'm at work, butI'm sure it wouldn't be that much of a difference to fret over
