These were clearly the best deal for consumers who wanted a new high end phone every two years. Say an iphone costs $700, amortizing that over two years is about $35/mo. ATT's no contract/no subsidy plans are not $35/mo cheaper than the two year contracts.
Part of me thinks I should get the family new two year contracts and new phones before Jan 8.
Part of me thinks that, in the coming year, the coverage of cheaper carriers like T Mobile will improve and I'll want to be out of contract to leave ATT.
What do you think?

I'm afraid it's already too late.
When I went to renew my contract earlier this year it would have cost me $60 more per month for the same exact plan with no new phones. Simply renewing, that's it.
They are going to tell you that the $25 per smart phone line discount that you have been receiving will no longer apply.
You'll ask "what $25 per month discount? I've never heard of it and never seen it listed on a bill"
They'll tell you that just because they never told you you were getting it does not mean they weren't giving it to you.
They want everyone off contracts.
Give them a call, see what they say.
