As an alternative to buying or upgrading a smartphone at the full sales price, we offer AT&T Next
® or AT&T Next Every Year℠ installment plans. These plans take the retail price of your new device and spread it across small monthly payments.
With
AT&T Next and
AT&T Next Every Year,1 you can enjoy these benefits:
- $0 down (with well-qualified credit)
- Flexible monthly installment payment and upgrade options
- No finance fees
Down paymentsIf you’re new or you’re adding a new line and you have well-qualified credit, you can get a smartphone for $0 down.
1 A down payment may be required and depends on a variety of factors. If required, it will be either 30% of sales price or a dollar amount ranging from currently $0 to $600
(amount subject to change and may be higher). You can also choose to pay more upfront to lower the monthly installment payment.
Eligibility requirementsNew credit checks aren't required if you’re upgrading with an installment plan. If your account balance is past due or has been suspended for non-payment, you may not be able to upgrade with a new AT&T Next and AT&T Next Every Year installment plan. There's a limit on the number of devices allowed under the Next program.
