AT&T annouces “Next”- yearly upgrades as part of new monthly installment plan
AT&T has joined the fray of anything updating we first saw from T-Mobile with “Jump”. AT&T just announced “NEXT” an entirely new option for its customers who want to upgrade their device as frequently as once a year. It will join (not replace) the other upgrade options we currently have – and works with all of our data plans (including customers who are grandfathered unlimited subscribers eligible for an upgrade). The Program begins on July 26th and you can start things off with your Lumia 1020
