My wife just used her full upgrade to get an iphone 3GS a couple months ago. The thing about wives is that they always want something else though. She now wants a white iphone 4 when it comes out. When I go to our account and look at upgrading it only gives me the full price option. Based on at&ts site it sound like she should be eligible for an "early upgrade" price of $450. Do I have to call to get this price?
Got a tip for us?

She might not be eligible for the early upgrade yet.
I'd call up AT&T to get more info.

Why on earth would you upgrade to a 3 gs 8 months after the iPhone 4 comes out? Of course you're not eligible for an early upgrade.
Generally you become eligible for an early upgrade after 10-14 months, depending on your monthly spend and whether it is the primary line or a $9.99 add-a-line. Your wife won't be eligible for one even when the iPhone 5 comes out.
Time to tell the wife that her poor decision-making skills have resulted in the choice of either living with a 2-year-old phone until it's 3 or 4 years old, or ponying up the $650 for a new one. Or you could not do that and remain married to her. 😛

That used to be the case, but they changed it back in January. You now have to wait 6 months after activation before their discounted upgrade at a higher price offer.
i also have a similar question. I have a iphone 3g, I have waited and thought I will upgrade to iphone 5 in june /july, but now with the news of it being released in sept or early Q12. I feel like upgrading to iphone 4, but if the iphone 5 does come out in sept will i be able to upgrade to iphone5. Will it cost me the same $200 or $499
