Carrier AT&T: Contract start at order date or on activation?

[Italianblend]

Just a quick question - does your new 2 year contract begin when you order the phone online, or when you actually have and activate the phone? I am hoping it is when you order so that your eligibility begins to click already.

Was wondering this same question too. Anybody know this answer?

I would be interested in knowing this, too, as I also plan on starting a new contract with AT&T. Any information would be appreciated.
