Other AT&T “free” plan with 7. Options for X?

[bunger]

i picked up the iPhone 7 at launch last year on their “free” deal - essentially, you commit to 24month plan and they credit your bill each month for the amount of the monthly payment.

If I wanted to get an X, would I simply just act as though it is a trade-in and then start paying actual monthly payments (or buy outright)? I am guessing that is the case, but wanted to verify.

And assuming that’s the case, keeping the 7 for another year is the smart move as I will own the 7 outright without having paid anything for it, then can trade it in or sell it...

Yes, I’m on the same deal with Verizon and I bought my X outright so I can keep getting my credits and then by the time it’s all “paid” off next year, i am free to sell it, etc. if you want to do an early upgrade, then you’d trade in your 7 and make payments on the X.
