Thinking About Getting iPhone 6Plus

Yes.

I'n on the 12 month plan and am not eligible for a upgrade until September on AT&T. However, I can pay $180-something now to gain immediate eligibility. I don't plan to, but that's another option.

 

I don't think this is correct. Your 128 GB iPhone 6 Plus was financed for $949. You should still owe more than half of that at this point since you're on the 20-month payoff (12-month upgrade) plan and on installment 8 or 9 of 20. I think what they meant is you can pay $180 right now, turn the phone into AT&T and then get a different phone on Next with no upfront cost except tax. You would have to pay it off in full right now to be eligible to keep it and sell it privately, which is what @EverythingApple wants to do.

 

Yes, but you will have to pay it off in full to keep it and sell it privately. You should still owe around $449 if you have the plan with 20 installments. You can find this information by going to Billing and Usage on your AT&T account and then selecting Bill. If you pay the $449, you can probably sell it for around $550 and profit $100. Of course, it's not really a profit if you factor in the $300 you've already paid in installments, but that's basically a rental charge.

I have the same phone as you and I got it on launch day. My early payoff amount is $486 right now (it will be $449 in a few days after my next installment of $37). I plan on just turning it in to AT&T in September and getting a 6s because dealing with craigslist isn't worth the small profit I would make by paying it off and selling it privately.

If I were you, I would just wait for the 6s Plus in September.

 

I forgot to mention the part about turning the phone in. You're correct. You're just paying the amount due up until the 12-month eligibility date (September in my case).

 

Sprint has a SIM card for use when traveling overseas and accessing GSM networks, but the Sprint network uses CDMA. She will not be able to use your GSM AT&T phone on Sprint if that's what you're asking. Your phone doesn't have a CDMA radio chip.

 

I definitely would wait. It's less than three months.

 

It will be available in stores on launch day, which will likely be in September.

 

Or, if you want to get on the rumor train early...

 

That should fetch a great price!
