Droid Life is reporting that the $5 increase in upgrade fee, and $15 activation fee will apply to all customers beginning August 1, though those currently making payments under a Next Installment Plan won't have to pay on their next upgrade. <!--break--> With this, the AT&amp;T Next Plans are no longer a zero out of pocket deal, as you will be paying the $15 to utilize that service from AT&amp;T.</p> <p>As of right now, there is no official word from AT&amp;T on these changes. With less than two weeks until the reported change, it won't be long before we find out if AT&amp;T goes through with the price hike or not.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> A reader has kindly provided us with a photo of an internal AT&amp;T document (seen below) outlining the changes in activation pricing structure, indicating that prices are indeed set to go up at the beginning of August. Thanks, Anon!</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/att-said-be-introducing-activation-fee-next-and-byod-customers-raising-upgrade-fee-august-1' title="AT&amp;T said to be introducing activation fee for Next and BYOD customers, raising upgrade fee on August 1 [Update]"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/07/att-activation-fee-changes-1.jpg?itok=riC8z5Ab' />[/url]</p> <p>Source: Droid Life (http://www.droid-life.com/2015/07/21/att-raising-upgrade-fees-to-45-will-add-15-activation-fee-to-next-and-byod-customers-on-august-1/)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
