Eso's guide to upgrade eligibility: AT&T customers
The purpose of this guide is provide a step-by-step approach of how to determine if you are eligible for an upgrade to a subsidized device for customers of the AT&T network. This guide is based on AT&T's current guidelines, the AT&T Upgrade Advantage program (as of September 1, 2008) and does not dabble in speculation of possible future policy changes with respect to special cases for the iPhone(s). Considering that current AT&T customers were required to be in compliance with said policy to receive subsidized pricing on the iPhone 3G when it was released, however, it is the opinion of this guide that no special policy changes for any future iPhone revision will be made.
Step 1: Log in to AT&T My Wireless to view your AT&T account information.
Step 2: In the "PHONE/DEVICE" section on the introductory page, under the "Device Status" subsection, click "Check Upgrade Options".
Step 3: Choose the device/line that you would like to upgrade. If you are not currently eligible for a device upgrade, the date upon which you will be eligible to upgrade with subsidized pricing is reported. You also may be able to purchase a new device at early upgrade pricing (non subsidized) with a new 2-year commitment or at no-commitment pricing (retail) without a contract.
Feel free to post guides for other carriers in accordance with their respective standing policies.
