Its a step in the right direction. AT&T has finally givin somewhat a break to new and existing customers looking to get out of their contracts.

enables new and renewing subscribers to have their $175 ETF drop by $5 each month they stick with the carrier and pay their bill.

Is not the greatest discount but its better than nothing and is a step in the right direction

and there is also this disclaimer:

One disclaimer to keep in mind, however, is that this offer is extended only to those who renew or activate contracts as of today; customers who began or upgraded prior to May 25, 2008 will not qualify for this offer.

So anyone who has AT&T and is already in a contract this does not apply to you, its starts as of today for new customers and than on.

That's kind of lame that it only applies to new customers.

[Kaloyan]

Thats pretty lame what about all the existing customers?

[billchase2]

yeah, i agree... lame. what about all of us??

[Reako]

Have you guys missed the fine print? I'll spell it for you. You're SOL.

the least they could do is allow school/corporate discounts for the iphone users. if i had any phone besides this one, i'd get 15% per month. but nooooo... not the iphone!

Am with you. Thats one of the reasons why I have unlocked & jailbroken AT&T iPhone.

Thats what sucks. Apple is such a pain, they will remove all discounts you were receiving.

Existing customers should receive the benefits.

I couldn't agree with you more. We're the ones that have been with them for almost a year already. Shouldn't we be the ones getting the breaks here?

Something is not right...

[Kylecchh]

Stupid, what about current AT&T customers? But I guess it is a start, lol. Although I wish I went with T-Mobile

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I have no problems with this as an existing user. I knew the rules when I signed up.

[Kruejl]

^^^Agreed. It would be nice to have as an option, though.

[chancre_scolex]

Why is everyone so eager to get rid of AT&T? I get pretty good service everywhere I go...

The only complaint is the issue with text message lag but that only happens once in a blue moon...

[FredieC]

they defiantly shouldn't just give it for new customers. we're the loyal ones that stuck with them. we should get something as well

[tattoojack]

you guys seriously thought at&t or apple would do anything that didnt benefit them.

this is a ploy to get new customers. heck with the ones who are already in a contract. they already got you. but now they have a way of convincing you to stay with them cause if you change your rate plan tomoro, you will all of a sudden be eligible for this. since that will require you to renew your contract as of the change.

so either way they look good, and make more money.

duh!

did any of you really believe for a second that at&t or apple gave a crap?

this is almost as funny as the devteam hoax.

[Aiyo]

Stupid Åss at&t! I've been a good loyal customer, cut me a freakin break! sheesh
