Before people start saying "rip off"

Realize this program is for people who are into YEARLY upgrades. This is not meant to be a cheaper route for people who keep their phones for numerous years, it's simply a way to get a new phone every 12 months, without having to drop $600+ to do it.

$199 + $649 + $36 activation fee for initial upgrade/new line = $884

OR

ZERO down, $27 * 12 = $324 + NO activation fee.
