Question about Upgrade Eligibility

[cyruskayos]

Hello, I bought my 8GB iPhone December 26, 2007. I have paid my bill on time every month and I was just wondering if I was eligible for the $199 pricing on the 3G iPhone. When i go to my AT&T account online I see this:

"This line is eligible for equipment discount pricing when you sign up for a 2-year service agreement. You can take advantage of our no-commitment pricing option, with the exception of iPhone which requires a 2-year commitment."


I am assuming that means i can get the $199 pricing?

Someone please confirm.

Thanks!

yes, i believe you can get the "discount" pricing...
but you will probably have to sign-up for another 2 year contract.

yeah...by discount you mean $199 right?

im just confused...i dont know if $199 is discounted or if $399 is....their both subsidized so...

thanks though

It is possible that the two different prices are for the 8gb and 16gb models.
I guess we will all find out Friday!
I am so excited I can't even sleep anymore!

lol

$199 and $299 is for NEW customers OR eligible (meaning your contract is up or you only have like 2 months left on it) customers.

If you bought a first-gen iphone then you are eligible for an "early upgrade", which has an $18 upgrade fee and the phone will be $399 and $499.

And right now you WONT be able to buy one if you dont activate it with AT&T.

Got it....good.
