I've read several things about people switching to AT&T, and first getting a free phone before activating their iPhone as an "existing customer" and I'm currently doing this. I do have a question that I'm not 100 percent sure on, and wanted to see if anyone had experience with.
My free phone is currently in the mail and my service with my other provider is still active, but I have received a "Welcome to AT&T e-mail." The phone isn't supposed to get here until Monday, but I want to get my iPhone up and running before that. If I attempt the existing customer option, would it work now?
And what will happen to that phone in transit? If it gets turned on when it gets here, will it activate to my account? If I sell it, with a sealed box still, will it be connected to my account in anyway?
I don't quite get the whole porting number and activation portion of this..
Thanks everyone.
