AT&T tried to rip me off today.

Exactly, I pay the same amount for 3 lines and 10 gigs then I was for one line and 5 gigs on a 2 year.

Honestly, I dont like to Mobile Share Plans. I'm sticking to my Nation 450 ($39.99) + Unlimited 4G LTE Data ($30).

Please dont switch if you have the old plans. AT&T will not allow you to switch back once changed to Mobile Share.

I don't undersyand why you wouldn't just buy the phone you want without contract, and out the Sim card in?

Vote with your money instead of signing up for more of the same ?

I was going to say the same thing. Phones like the 925 are going for less than $200 now, that won't change your contract at all. Just swap the sim card. If you plan ahead a few months, you can easily save enough to buy whatever phone you want (even a top line 64gb iphone 5s can be saved for over 2 years for ~$30/month).

Lightly used phones can be had cheap on a lot of sites if you look around enough.

Not all of us have WiFi 24-7 13 hours out of my day is off WiFi and I stream music alot, 10 hours of music alone will nail you for 2-3 gigs. Cat videos not my thing I prefer porn, and racing.

So one text is one MB??? No way possible sorry more like 100kb

Well if you have to watch porn on the go all the time, be prepared to pay for it. As I said, you can copy some music on your phone, and listen to same 1000 songs for a month, and save on bandwidth. You're right though, music and video take a lot of bandwidth, but since you figured that already, you can do something about it.

The package that I have treats 1 sent sms as 1 unit, and it also treats 1MB as 1 unit. Not that 1 sms would take up so much space (i takes less then 1kB) they just charge it the same way.

What is your opinion on the camera, it's the only thing holding me back. Thanks in advance.

I don't take a lot of pictures with the phone, but so far I've found the rear camera quite good. Of course, it's not up to the standard of more expensive phones but it's good for the price, and it includes a flash. Check out some of the pictures in reviews online.
The front facing camera is very good (for a webcam).

don't you pay a fee for each phone going with the next option? If I would upgrade 2 phones on Next, it would be $15 for each month for each phone then wouldn't it?

You don't pay a "fee" per say for Next. That $15 that keeps getting mentioned is if you are on the $100/mo 10gb plan.
For data plans less than 10gb the smart line charge is $25/mo PLUS the Next installment price of the phone. The contract line charge is $40 per phone.
For example I am on the 2gb plan for $40. The line charge for each smart phone is $25.
To add more to the confusion I actually don't need a 2gb plan but because one of my phones is on contract started last December and because of the dates they changed things around I don't have to pay the normal contract line charge of $40 if I am on a 2gb plan or higher.
I also can completely get rid of that contract if I move to a Next plan but I haven't found a Next phone that I really want right now because you are paying full retail. Their Lumia 1020 is a good example, they charge $600 on Next but you can get it new for around $400 now on ebay or Amazon so it's really not worth paying the big premium to get rid of that contract.
The 2 right now they have that seem like good values for what they charge are the LG Optimus G Pro and the Moto X.

We have the 10gb plan. Just want to confirm that you pay the Next installment price on each phone you upgrade.

Yes, for two phones on the 10GB plan it would be $100 for the data plan + $15 (Phone #1) + $15 (Phone #2) = $130. $65/phone per month, excluding the cost of the phone.
