Questions about buy n cancel at walmart...
So I was in walmart today, and I was looking at the iPhones, and reading the little concract pamphlets they have, and I was thinking.
Could I plausibly sign up for AT&T and buy the 8Gb 3G for $97, plus activation ($35) and then get the voice + data plan ($69), and then cancel? The pamphlet said the ETF was $175, but you get $5 off for every month remaining in the plan, so $175 minus 11 months (not 12 cause I have to pay the first upfront right?) is $120
So all in all it'd be:
iPhone = $97
Activation = $35
Plan (1 month) = $69
ETF (-11months) = $120
TOTAL == $321
Does that sound like it'd work?

I dunno. But all that math just gave me a headache. Either that, or I'm developing a "brain cloud". I better make an appointment with my doctor.

The ETF does not get prorated. I asked about this the other day in regards to cancelling my current contract and then signing up again to get the $299 price and they told me I would pay $175 even though I am only a few months away from the end of a 2 year agreement.
