02/20/11 for me. Bought a 3Gs on day 1 last year. Not worried as I was planning on waiting until next year anyway.
Got a tip for us?

My situation is kind of unique.
I got the iPhone 3G back in October 2008. At&t used the wrong social security number(off by 1 number). They then used this to run a credit check and made me deposit $500. I got the deposit back a few months ago, but is this grounds to terminate my contract with them? I told them about this problem but they still did not fix the SS # to the correct one. It's still set to the wrong one
Could I just cancel on SS # and get a new line with my correct SS?
Also upgraded last year on the early upgrade discount of $499.
Suggestions?

Yep you sure could. You have a different social the "he" does. What could they do?
I get:
"You can take advantage of our no commitment pricing. Additional discounts may be available on 02/20/2011"
..and my "no commitment" price for a 32g is 699??!!
Bought 3GS day one. I sure hope this is wrong.

How can some people be eligible for an upgrade when they purchased the 3GS on day 1 like me and yet im not eligible. I hope this is something AT&T is just slow on changing. This is crap if I can't upgrade
AT&T site must be getting a lot of traffic
I just spent 30 minutes trying to log in to see what my eligibility was. I got to the Welcome screen, and it listed the lines on my account. Two lines are iPhones. For my line it said "You may be eligible for an upgrade..." but the other one said "This line is not eligible for an upgrade." But when I tried to check my actual eligibility, it locked for 5 minutes, then wouldn't let me in to my account again. So I called AT&T, but the woman I spoke with had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. She didn't even know there were new iPhones coming out at all. Frustrating.

I didn't get any special message telling my i'm eligible but when I went to add an iPhone to my cart it showed the $199 pricing. It used to tell me I'd have to wait till November. Awesome.
Yup. Mine says the same thing. I'm glad they're waiving the $18 upgrade fee for me!
Did you buy a 3GS on day 1?
ATT calculates eligibility in part based on how much each line (that is each phone number) pays per month. Because one line on the family plan pays the bulk of the fee and the others pay only $9.99, the main line is usually eligible for upgrading sooner.
Yep. People always forget that they SIGNED A TWO YEAR CONTRACT. So if AT&T lets them upgrade at a discount anytime before two years is up, they're just being nice!!
I think it's *upg# or something like that.
Never mind I answered my own question it's *new#
Same thing. I used to be Eligible. I hope the fix it or I guess I'm not getting the new iPhone. We pay more than $180 bucks a month and we can switch to Sprint and get more and pay $40 less.
