Earlier this month, T-Mobile announced it's no contract options and committed to changing the cell phone industry. To avoid being one uped by T-Mobile, the other major carriers also have decided to make changes. A few days after the announcement, Sprint came out with new pricing on their plans and unlimited data for life. And now AT&T has come out with no contract options that look very similar to T-Mobile, but of course are slightly different.
According to an article in CNet, AT&T customers will have the option to pay an installment plan for 20 months rather then an upfront fee with a two year contract. They will then have the option to leave the carrier as long as they finish paying their installment plan. The plans range from $15 to $50 depending on the device. An iPhone 5 would cost someone $32.50 per month and a Galaxy S4 would cost $32. Along with the no contract option, customers will have the option of upgrading their device after one year instead of 24 months. The biggest difference between T-Mobile's plan and AT&T's is that the monthly plans for AT&T have not changed. If you don't think that you have extra money to tack on your already high cell phone bill then a no contract option may not be for you, but if you want the freedom of no contract then you now have another carrier option.
