AT&T Availability & Price - What's your guess?

[RTGent]

I'm a long-term, but way out-of-contract customer with atandt, using a 1020, and haven't gotten a phone from them since my first Samsung Focus; should I be able to get the contract price -whatever it is, committing to two years? Thanks.

My research has told me that you can, but the problem will be that your per line access price will go from $15/mo to $40/mo. That extra $25 per month over two years more than pays for the phone.

Don't get back on that merry-go-round. You'll pay more and lose your flexibility to switch carriers or phones.

My guess is the AT&T versions will be ~$50 less than the unlocked version. So a pretty bad deal considering all the downsides.

I'm still willing to bet it will be as much or more than the unlocked version. That's how AT&T rolls.

The question for me is will the unlocked version support At&t Wifi calling when is comes to windows phone.

Then watch T-Mobile. AT&T will make it available for all phones after T-Mobile does it for BYOD which is a fairly easily predictable un-carrier move of the future. The question is when rather than if. Of course if the carrier signal is so weak a phone is a paperweight without Wi-Fi calling, you can't wait.

I was told by AT&T in an on line chat today that the phone would absolutely be available on November 16th. Not taking pre-orders yet if at all. He also said they would update the phone but I have heard that before. They abandoned my 925.:unhappy:

I hope it is only $100 on contract, wishful thinking I know,because I need to get a new phone soon since my 1020's screen is falling off............

Just stopped at an att store and they said the MS rep told them last week that it would be Friday. So delays appear to be MS, not att.
