那种便宜买手机两年合约不再有了(除了verizon existing customers) 现在有的options是： 1.全价买裸机: from $649 2. iphone upgrade program (all carriers?) from $32/month 3. carrier(看的at&t)： 有next every year ($27/month for 24 month installment) 和 next ($22/month for 30 month installment) 不太明白3的情况如果想中途terminate除了要付remaining手机的价值，还要付其他penalty吗？另外terminate时手机是不是就可以unlock了
本来是考虑1，用个便宜的month by month carrier, 找了一下发现at&t 现在$80 two lines, 3g data也不比那些month by month carrier贵多少。如果中途可以退出又没有除手机外附加penalty大概就 at&t next every year了。如果有好的prepaid carrier请推荐！
Update: 没想到大家讨论还挺积极，我来总结一下 1. 同样是unlocked phone, 4家major carrier在网络兼容性上有什么区别？ 苹果官网的信息是这样的： AT&T and T-Mobile The iPhone for AT&T and T-Mobile does not support CDMA and will not work on Sprint or Verizon Wireless. It will use 3G cellular technology for voice services and either 3G or 4G LTE cellular technology for data services. However, the iPhone for AT&T and T-Mobile can roam internationally on many GSM carriers around the world. Sprint and Verizon Wireless If Sprint or Verizon Wireless is your wireless carrier, your iPhone will work on AT&T and T-Mobile once unlocked. An iPhone activated on Sprint or Verizon Wireless also has the ability to roam internationally on GSM networks. International Roaming All iPhone models are world phones, so you can use them almost anywhere. Which means you can roam internationally on GSM networks in over 200 countries around the world, whether you are a GSM or CDMA network customer. Availability of LTE data varies in some countries and depends on carrier support for certain LTE radio frequencies. For details on LTE network support, please seewww.apple.com/iphone/LTE 这个很明确说了： 在美国国内verizon and sprint unlocked iphone 7可以用四个里面任何一个carrier, 但是att/t-mobile不可以用verizon/sprint做carrier 在中国的话，所有unlocked手机都可以使用，唯一的区别就是只有verizon/sprint的unlocked版本才可以使用中国三大运营商的LTE网络www.apple.com/iphone/LTE 我的理解是如果是att/t-mobile国内只能用2g/3g网络 2. 美国国内使用加入contract用哪个carrier? 今天4个carrier都宣布可以用iphone 6 and later models trade-in免费换iphone 7 32g。哪个划算真是只能根据当前手机plan具体分析，比如有的人用的grandfather family plan, like $20/line including data/voice, 那把iphone 6换出去拿个7每月还是这么点钱当然很爽。像我是att两年绑定的贵的要死的合同，怎么也得换新的plan, 如果不考虑carrier本地信号问题，跟哪家其实差不多
3. Prepaid no contract plan 这个搜了一下，简直多如牛毛，楼里有人推荐CtExcel 中国电信， $29/month, unlimited data and voice, 据说用tmobile网络 最近比较火的还有freedomPop 非常便宜，但是好像coverage不太reliable.
Apple's official spec sheet for the iPhone 7 lists two sets of units sold in the US. Models A1660 (iPhone 7) and A1661 (iPhone 7 Plus) work on all four major US networks and virtual networks like Ting, Ultra Mobile, and Consumer Cellular. Models A1778 (iPhone 7) and A1784 (iPhone 7 Plus), according to Apple's Web page, do not have CDMA modems and thus don't work on Verizon, Sprint, or any smaller carrier that uses those networks.
All of the models work equally well on most other countries' networks except on China Mobile, which requires A1660/A1661. Japan has its own unique set of models, probably because of the country's Felica mobile payment system.

iPhone 7 Trade-Up Offer Created by tmo_marty on Sep 1, 2016 2:09 PM. Last modified by tmo_marty on Sep 9, 2016 12:19 AM. Starting September 9, 2016, and for a limited time, if you purchase the iPhone 7, the net cost of your new phone could be as low as FREE after 24-month finance agreement! And, if you purchase an iPhone 7 Plus, your net cost could be as low as $120. For Costco customers, this limited-time offer is available starting September 16, 2016.
How the offer works The trade-up offer is available to new and existing T-Mobile postpaid customers, including T-Mobile employees and @Work customers. To take advantage of this offer:
Purchase the iPhone 7: First, you need to purchase the iPhone 7 (32 GB) or iPhone 7 Plus (32 GB) during the offer period using our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP). If you want a phone with more memory, 128 GB and 256 GB versions of both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are available for an additional cost. Tax on the full sale price of your new device will be due at sale.
Trade in your old iPhone: Next, you need to trade in your fully paid-off iPhone (from any carrier). For your trade-in to be eligible for this promotion, you must own the device outright, which means you can't have a remaining JUMP! On Demand or EIP balance. Also, the trade-in device must be in good working order without physical or liquid damage and have the “Find My Phone” feature turned off.
Note: This offer cannot be combined with other offers or programs where a trade-in is required (e.g., Carrier Freedom). And, if you cancel wireless service before the end of your EIP agreement, the remaining device balance at full price will be due.
What do I need to do? The steps you follow to take advantage of this trade-up offer depends on if you're new to T-Mobile or if you're already a T-Mobile customer.
First time with T-Mobile? Once you receive your iPhone 7, go to http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-trade-in.html. Enter the following information: The order number for your new device. Your NEW T-Mobile phone number. Make sure you enter the new number that T-Mobile provides you with at the time of shipping, even if you plan to port in, or transfer, your current number to your new iPhone 7. Complete the trade-in steps. Ship out your old iPhone device.
Already a T-Mobile customer? Go to http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-trade-in.html. Enter the following information: The order number for your new device. Your T-Mobile phone number. Complete the trade-in steps. Once you receive your iPhone 7, ship out your old iPhone device.
Getting your rebates or bill credits T-Mobile will give you the value of your trade-in as a one-time bill credit. After that, we'll apply monthly bill credits toward your device monthly payments. Depending on the total of the trade-in value of your device and the monthly offer credits, your new device net cost could be as low as free after 24-month finance agreement.
If you trade in your old iPhone at a T-Mobile retail location, you can use the value of the trade-in to buy down the EIP balance instead of getting the one-time bill credit.
Costco members If you're a Costco customer, you can submit your rebate information by going to https://promotions.t-mobile.com and using the Promotion Code 16SeptiPhone7. You must complete the trade-in process and submit your rebate request within 30 days of purchase and remain active and in good standing with T-Mobile when rebate is processed. After you complete the process, you should receive your rebate of the trade-in value in the form of a Prepaid MasterCard® card within eight weeks.

Apple家网站上ATT只有next了，原来那种签两年便宜买手机的plan取消了吗？
这适合口袋里没有649刀的人，要贷款 然后分期付款加利息的意思吧，要不就是att知道美国人数学就是辣么差，做不出27x24
不过我算过，family plan里面，用next比contract省钱！
我记得也是说所有的installment付完以后手机就是自己的了？
但是允许1年以后就换新手机，这种情况要把你现在的手机还给at&t，相当于24 x 27的租金租了一年的手机
给的，我中途cancel 过一个at&T plan，付了违约金，就给解锁了。
我用29刀套餐，他家在美国用tmobile信号。可能没att,verizon好。我用着还可以，往国内打电话很清晰。狗娘搜ctexcel

这个deal是多不识数的人才会觉得划算啊
请问是从哪里看到att还有two year contract的？不是说已经取消了吗
还是全款买了再说吧
如果用6换是免费啊，捆绑24个月就捆绑吧，只是他说“Not combinable with other offers where trade-in is required”， 不知道大家现在用的计划是不是特别offer还是regular price。 如果计划变贵了，拿部免费手机也没劲。
举个例子..
你有一个6，拿去trade in，我的理解就是把六换了2年的话费.. which is 27*24。
在普通市场里，6应该没办法换那么多钱吧？
说不识数的mm还请赐教啊……
他们家的回国能上网吗 还是回国要另换卡啊。
如果是的话我要从at&t换到tmobile了，不在乎是不是24个月plan还是什么的
另外我合同还有几天到期，我现在可以换公司吗，还是再耐心等几天
T-mobile的simple choice很方便，全世界data roaming和text免费。但大多是2G, 有点慢，平时搜搜地图查查邮件甚至听听音乐什么都够了
is $27/mo. 话费 or just paying for the phone (not plan)?
All of the models work equally well on most other countries' networks except on China Mobile, which requires A1660/A1661. Japan has its own unique set of models, probably because of the country's Felica mobile payment system.

昨天到Verizon店里，说不需要两年合约呀，但是又说iphone 7不能用prepared，有点糊涂了。
我家两人，不知道选哪个family plan好，还是prepared好，电话不多，data也不需要太多。
