I've got a scheme. Let me know if I'm missing anything/what the perceived cons are:
1. AT&T is offering the ability to get out of your contract early by getting Next with their (kinda crappy) unsubsidized plan. I do this and get a new device (G2, note3). (Source: http://consumerist.com/2014/01/21/a...act-if-they-switch-to-att-next/#more-10149488). This is verifiable in my account.
2. I pay off the remaining price of the new device and cancel my AT&T contract outright.
3. I flip the new device and sell my old phone (s3).
4. I buy a Nexus 5 and get Straight Talk.
The only con I can come up with is I lose about $100 flipping the G2. Obviously I'm spending cash to get the N5 but that is an accepted concept being that I'm getting an upgrade. Should be able to offset the cost somewhat with selling my old phone.
Anything I'm missing?
