When you pick up your phone, they will charge you the $150 on top of the cost of the phone. You will have to pick it up since a deposit is required.
Are you sure? I would think it means that he has to go directly to an AT&T store on launch day to order.
I got a similar message telling me that I had to go in-store in order to set up a new family plan with AT&T (after two hours of failed security checks through AT&T). From what I saw, it really just means that you have to go to the store and wait in line with everyone else, with no guarantees. Which sucks. Hence why I just went and ordered on AT&T's website without any issues.
Maybe you shouldn't get the iPhone 4S. Apparently you haven't been on top of paying your bill which is why they are requiring you to make a deposit.
Either that or you don't even have an account yet.

The deposit is not for Apple. It's for ATT since they don't like your credit for a cell phone account.
Im guessing its because i just turned 18 and I've never had a contract with anyone.
