How to cancel your AT&T service & keep your iPhone
|
You will have to purchase an iPhone with a 2yr contract, pay an activation fee, wait 30 days, pay one month of service, and then cancel your contact and pay an ETF.
iPhone 3G 8GB
-------------
$199 - 8GB iPhone w/contract
$36 - Activation
$175 - Early Termination Fee
$70 - One month of service
=====
$480
=====
not including taxes.
I not sure if this will put a negative hit on your credit report, but I know that AT&T will not sell you a phone with a contract without a large deposit in the future.
Other options are, you can:
1) Buy iPhone 3G phone that is unlocked using a TurboSIM unlocking SIM from reputable eBay Seller.
2) Buy a legally unlocked iPhone 3G phone on eBay from a reputable seller from Australia or Hong Kong. iPhones sold in these countries are unlocked, so you do not need an unlocking SIM chip. Caveats are sometimes your iPhone can be delayed in customs and you may have to pay taxes on it and if you have problems with your iPhone you may need to send it back to the Apple store in the country you purchase it from.
