Engadget said
- Early upgrade pricing on new iPhones -- the standard subsidized price plus $200 -- will only be available six months into an existing iPhone activation.
- $50 and $100 discounts on top of subsidized pricing for upgrading customers -- similar to Verizon's recently-killed New Every Two program -- are going away. If you're currently eligible, you'll still be eligible to take advantage through July 23rd of this year.

I'm wondering of verizon will be following suit with some of AT&T's upcoming changes.
I also saw that sprint will charging an extra $10 on smartphones for all new contracts after 1/30.
---wow, just looked at your link and it looks like some employee (who should probably fired) sceenshotted some proprietary info on the upcoming changes.
The Verizon iphone has shook up the wireless industry I guess...
---As I'm reading through that a little further what they're quoting as the way things are/were prior to the changes going into effect is wrong on a some of the bullets.
overage rates for texting aren't changing, they were 10 cents on both of the existing plans.
Activations on add-a-lines are currently $26, not $10

Most of these articles are written by people who've only been consumers in the wireless industry remember.
Gizmodo was claiming that Verizon didn't offer unlimited texting for a single line for $20 a month as well.

Overage rates on the Messaging 200 ($5 MRC) were $0.10/msg. The Messaging 1500 ($15 MRC) had a $0.05/msg overage rate.
Definitely agree on the proprietary info posting - that is a terminable offense!

had to do a little digging but you are correct, looks like it was 5 cents on the 1500

but that no longer exist. now we got unlimited and 1000 messages for $10 with 10 cents overage. I don't know why we had to eliminate things to add things but that seems to be at&t's way
