Quartering? Ouch! I remember the pictures from my history book and that looks painfull!
I guess, quartering could mean that, but I meant quartering as is the coin.
Got a tip for us?

wow, i think i'm getting ripped off. my wife got her cell phone, then i finally got around to getting one and we upgraded to a family plan, but i'm getting charged $9.99 a month anyway.
come to think of it yah it is hehe, damn hope those aren't too long of a line up.
You have to buy the $500/$600 phone and you are locked into a 2-year contract of $60+ a month.
Question for existing at&t customers: Does at&t give loyalty discounts for subsequent contract renewals? Just wondering, b/c Sprint has given some cool discounts since we've been with them for over 11 years... about 6 contract renewals. We tend to be pretty loyal. If it wasn't for the iPhone we wouldn't switch. thanks.
No discounts on the iPhone...loyalty or any other kind per AT&T.
So I can walk into the AT&T store today, sign up for a free phone (say Nokia 6126), sell it on Ebay for $150 (the going rate) and replace it with an iPhone on Friday?
I thought there was a certain amount of time that had to pass before you could sign a new 2 year contract with AT&T?
That's what I asked before in an earlier post... I'm in the same boat. Why do they say one phone line included when they're talking about family plans? You know it's gonna be more than one phone, WTH put that important note as foot note??!!!
Presumably the reason they do this is because the amount they charge for the 2nd line is now variable, $9.99 for a "normal" phone and $29 for an iPhone. This is my guess anyway.That's what I asked before in an earlier post... I'm in the same boat. Why do they say one phone line included when they're talking about family plans?

In case many of you are unaware I figured I'd post this. A lot of companies have negotiated discounts for their employees with cell phone services. Check and see if this applies to you. Sometimes this can be a significant savings.
Had not thought of that. It seems like the deal. Since the plans are out you should ring ATT but you may have just found a way to get a "rebate" on the iphone.
Since I am out of contract maybe I should switch to ATT now and get some free backup phone before friday? (but the plans i guess would be the sticking point...would have to wait till friday for the iPlans.)
The iPhone is to my knowledge the first time they allow this. This is not normally allowed. I guess they didn't want to piss off millions of customers like me that are not upgrade eligible
(I've had it since April 06).
I suppose now we can piss and moan about... something else now?
Maybe the one time activation fee of $36.00 is a deal breaker... I kid, I kid!!!
A Joke, just a joke.
If you have 2 lines, I'm assuming that both lines will have a new 24 month contract even if you add the iPhone plan to one of them, since the first two lines are billed together.
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get the iPhone plan on a third $10 line without having to affect contract of the first two phones in the family plan.
But, once you figure in rollover (which works for some people's calling habits but not everyones) and free mobile-to-mobile it probably works out the same for most people. BTW, I'm not even sure if I have free mobile-to-mobile with my T-Mo account. If I do, it doesn't seem to matter you are the only other T-Mo customer I know in the US, but more than half my friends are on AT&T.
I'm in the same boat. It's time for me to upgrade my phone in the new few months, and T-Mo's only comparable plan is $10 more a month. With these plans, the iPhone is looking sweeter and sweeter.
No...it's a hatred for AT&T. He's voiced support for an unlocked phone...so I'm guessing we wouldn't be seeing the same posts if the iPhone was either unlocked or on T-Mo.
Sorry, let me clarify. I didn't mean now, as in the form of discounts in a new contract and/or initial iPhone purchase. I mean, say we buy two iPhones + Family plan/2-year contract. After the contract is over, in 2009, and you decide to renew again for another 2 years with at&t, would they give you a plan discount?
But for the majority of phones you are going to have to pay something and then get a rebate which will take HOW long?
I am STOKED. I just got a Blackberry 8800 a few months ago and these things are still selling unlocked/used for over $300. My gf is buying me an iPhone next week so I could just sell the BB and keep or give her the cash.
I am blown away by the rate plans. This is going to be less than I pay today for my Blackberry with data and I have a discounted plan!! Geez.
Done deal.
Just in network. No company has any network mobile to mobile unlimited. If that were the case, then there wouldn't be minutes listed on the calling plans, it would simply say "Unlimited".
