Apple

do you have to sign a contract with these?

EDIT: I just checked AT&T's page...looks like you do

does it require a 2 yr contract or is it without contract?

yes then everyone would buy and sell them on ebay lol

again...nice...but aint got no money

The annual sale - as expected.

Starting to get excited about the new iPhone now....

Damn! 2 days after I spent $330 and signed up for a new 2 year contract

Whats the big deal us employees had em at those prices since day one...

umm.. its called a 'return', buddy, and you have 14 days (if not 30 days) to do so. The smart thing to do should be blatantly obvious.

I wait two years to get one...and then THE ONE I WANT IS $149?! God....Apple pisses me off sometimes...

too waste

so if i bought an iPhone about a week ago....i can go return it and buy the refurb without screwing up my 2 year contract??

Before they had the refurb 16GB for $199 and the refurb 8GB for $99.
They should also drop about 50 bucks for the 8GB to $49.

That would be a great deal. 50 bucks off for both models.

You have 30 days with AT&T regardless of where you bought it to return the device and not be locked down in the contract.

I think you might be able to call up and get the price adjusted. If not just return it and get another one. Most companies, if you call up and point that out... they'll adjust the price.

I doubt they will adjust the price of the NEW phone he bought to be equal to the REFURB price they are currently offering.

iPhones have particular return policies.

AT&T Returns Policy
AT&T values our relationship with you and offers a return policy for equipment and services purchased directly from AT&T. It may not reflect the policies of AT&T's authorized dealers or retailers. Equipment purchased from authorized dealers or retailers must be returned to those dealers or retailers.

Equipment
If the equipment you purchased directly from AT&T does not meet your expectations, simply return it either to a store or by mail within 30 days from the date the equipment was purchased or shipped. Refunds will be applied to the original payment method. Gift cards and ringtone cards are not returnable. Any rebate associated with the returned equipment will be voided.

Returns/exchanges must be like new, with all original packaging, accessories, manuals and proof of purchase. You may exchange equipment one time within the 30-day period. iPhone returns/exchanges will be subject to a 10% restocking fee regardless of the channel (online, retail store, etc.) where purchased, unless purchased without AT&T service (device only sale) and returned unopened, and except where prohibited. A $20 restocking fee applies to devices purchased at an AT&T-owned retail store and to all mini laptops regardless of the channel where purchased, except where prohibited. Restocking requirements and fees may apply to other purchases, and may vary by market or type of equipment. See your receipt or an AT&T store for details. Equipment received through an insurance claim cannot be returned or exchanged under this policy.



Apple Branded Equipment
All sales of the original iPhone and refurbished original iPhone after July 1, 2008 are final and cannot be returned for any reason. The standard AT&T return policy applies to iPhone 3G. iPhone is not eligible for the Wireless Insurance program.

are the refurbs covered under the one year warranty through Apple? I assume not, but wasn't sure...
