Phones4U in the UK were the first to do this, then O2/tesco copied them and now at&t.

AnonD-84041, 16 Jul 2013My thought exactly. T-mobile got this [jump] program starte... moreI think you meant to say expensive. Expansive is what AT&T's coverage is vs TMobile.

AnonD-157082, 16 Jul 2013T-Mobile announced a similar service, why only mention ATT's?My thought exactly. T-mobile got this [jump] program started on last Sunday. And GSMarena only mention att here and not to mention att's stuff are so expansive.

what happens once you finish paying your phone and you dont upgrade? does the bill go down or do you keep paying the fee?

What I don't get or maybe I am the only that does, is how is this different from just buying phones straight contract or not? It is like atnt is coming out and this is the we are gonna rob you without a ski mask now.

Haven't been living in the US for years but I assumed they had that (old) concept before.

there is a fee of $20 simply not upfront but in instalment. Other wise it would be 20*20=400!
The $20 fee is on the top of your bill, so if your bill is $50 the total will be $70. I am not too sure it that good thing!
