I&#x27;d love to know why these went away too -- not that I liked them, but they seemed well suited to the ignorance level of most people that I know.  Even though they&#x27;ve been replaced with ATT Next&#x2F;Verizon Edge&#x2F;... plans that are appealing to technophiles, as well as easy 3rd-party financing (just not through the provider), I&#x27;d like to know the &quot;illuminati&quot; reason that the market shifted.
