ATT is looking to make its Next smartphone payment plan a little more prominent. Youll be eligible to hop on-board the Next bandwagon in a mere six months and start swapping handsets sooner, if you were already under a two-year service agreement before January 18th. If you walked out of an ATT store this morning with the carriers typical contract, well, youre stuck with your handset for the next 20 months. We imagine that somewhere, surrounded by magenta, John Legere is smiling.
