I am not an AT&T customer, and I went online to purchase a 920 at the $449 price, and it said that I needed to add a plan. I am planning on getting my service through Net10, and just want the phone. Is it not possible to buy the phone by itself?
not through ATT.
ATT is off CONTRACT, but not unlocked. It is the price you pay if you were not eligible for an upgrade, or did not want to commit for 2 years. The phone itself is only functional with ATT however.
Im not aware if ATT shares the same antenna with Net10 either. You would need to look for an unlocked phone, presumably something international, that covers whatever band net10 uses.
If you know someone with AT&T service, I would just give them the money and have them buy it for you for $449 - that'll be the only way you can do it without being a current AT&T customer. Unless you pay the full $599.I am not an AT&T customer, and I went online to purchase a 920 at the $449 price, and it said that I needed to add a plan.

An activation fee for an existing customer? What?!they make existing customers pay $499....already tried logged into an ATT account....that's on top of the shyster "activation fee" of 36 bucks.

wait for Amazon pre-order.
yes, they charge activation fees for all new phones. Even if I were going to buy it and never open the box and stick it on a shelf to collect dust they would charge this "activation fee" It is a scam and a sham which is why I would NEVER have service with ATT.
Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon do the same thing. Though I hear it's easiest to get it waived on AT&T compared to others.
