You can keep the same phone number,even if you were to change cell phone carriers.I don't know about ATT,but I am guessing you would need to upgrade your plan with the new phone.Check with ATT,they will be able to tell you.

You can probably keep your number no matter what phone you get. I don't know of any carrier that can't port your current number. My son went from AT&T to Virgin Mobile and was able to keep his number.
You will most likely have to get a new plan with an upgrade. If you get an iPhone you will definitely have to get a new plan that includes data.
I am surprised by the confusion over porting numbers.
The Feds passed a mandate a few years ago that all cell phone providers must port phone numbers. Believe me they wouldn't have just decided to do that on their own. lol
Grandpa Pipes: buy the phone outright? You know an iPhone outright is like $600, right?

Yes, I know how much these adult toys cost. But what price a ball & chain (your contract)that limits your movement as needed?????

You can always buy out your contract or sell it. The buyout price depreciates over time. This is called "risk management". It really makes no sense to buy the phone outright UNLESS you're going to break the contract within the first few months prior to the initial depreciation in buyout price.
