I guess this is all moot. I have no will; I've already pre-purchased the phone, and hopefully it will arrive Friday.

There is a problem,

AT&T will charge you the MANDATORY $30/mo FOR A DATA PLAN... no way to get it without it...

So $10/mo + $30/mo = 40x24= $960.... not worth it unless you really do have two people using and paying the lines...

bryan, i knew this had to be possible but how exactly and at what point in the purchase process do you swap phone numbers to keep the same number between the old and new phones? thanks

I have a family plan. Two lines including one iphone 3g and both are not eligible for upgrade for a long time. I actually paid the early cancellation fee for Verizon on two phones in Dec to switch to iphone At and T in Jan 09 and now the new one is out! How can I make the line switch thing you discuss work for me? As of now they say I can add a line with cheaper 3gs pricing but there would be 3 phones sharing minutes.

Actually it should shorten them immensely, since the iPhone faithful ($700 before July 12) are the ones who camp out and stand in line. Hopefully, Apple gets what I sense is what it wants: out of its contract with one of its worst service suppliers: AT&T. There was passive-aggressive wording and stunts in the presentation at WWDC (watch it again) and an overall feeling that they were taking a jab at AT&T, while not, of course. I think Apple is expecting an uproar, even goading for one. Let's see what happens... ;-)

An extra $10 per month for the extra line, plus the minimum family plan is $10 more expensive than the single plan. An extra $240 per year, not sure it is worth.

Does it show up as two separate lines? Or does the system just pick the one that's eligible?

Sure. Sometimes I give the phone to the kid to use.

Nice hack do you just pay $10 a month for the unused plan?

Re: iPhone 3GS upgrade for cheaper

bryanl — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:22:31 -0000

Sure do. I've had the same number for 5 years now at least.

Do you keep the same number when you switch to the other line?
