AT&T is telling me I qualify for an upgrade..

[OrlandoTragic]

I originally signed up in August 2008, upgraded to the 3GS on launch last year, and now they're saying I qualify again.

How much will I pay out of pocket for a 32GB iPhone 4?

$299? More?

Thanks

It depends on the wording. If it says at the reduced price (or whatever it says exactly) then it's $299.

Ok cool. That's exactly what it says.
Someone wants to buy my 32GB 3GS for $400... jackpot.

If it says reduced price, thats not the full discount. It needs to say you are eligible for the full discount to get it for 299. Reduced price is 499 I believe.

How come you don't seek clarification from AT&T?

I was on my iPhone at the time I responded.

It will say this:

As a valued AT&T customer, we can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade with a new 2-year commitment and an $18 upgrade fee.

Anything else, and you don’t get it for $299.

Hate to burst your bubble, half of the AT&T customer sevice don't even know what an iPhone is. They are just reading a binder of scripts.

Just wait till next week. Proceed with the pre order, the online site will explain exactly what you will pay.

Please read our upgrade guide.

Mine says this, but without the "iPhone" part.. it just says "As a valued customer, we can offer you an upgrade with a new 2-yr commitment and an $18 upgrade fee."

That means you're elgible for subsidized pricing.

 

[OrlandoTragic]

That means you're elgible for subsidized pricing.

And what exactly does that mean?

 

[OrlandoTragic]

Anyone?

 

[yg17]

Call AT&T. They're the only ones who know for sure.

 

[djransom]

Anyone?

You're elgible for the FULL DISCOUNT $199/$299 pricing.

I know people on here hate to hear from "friends that work for AT&T" but my friend that works for AT&T told me that if you got a 3GS last summer...you'll pay the $399 and $499 price points...I mentioned the Radioshack trade in deal and she suggested this as the best route to get a cheap iPhone 4

 

[SAD*FACED*CLOWN]

of course my friends information contradicts the text message I recieved from calling the upgrade code

 

[OrlandoTragic]

What's this Radio Shack trade-in you speak of?

 

[SAD*FACED*CLOWN]

What's this Radio Shack trade-in you speak of?

check their twitter and website....apparently Radioshack is accepting 3G's for 100 and 3GS' for 200 towards the purchase of iPhone 4

And their preorders begin Tuesday and require a $50 deposit as well. I think this is a solid deal if they can guarantee an iPhone 4 on 6/24.

 

[OrlandoTragic]

I have someone offering me $400 for my 32GB 3GS so I think I'll take that route instead lol.

 

[mistertomlinson]

Why do people get so excited about these trade in deals? I just sold my 16GB 3GS on eBay for $450. After PayPal/eBay fees and shipping, I pocketed $400. You're telling me RadioShack is offering $100. You know what they're gonna do with your iPhone? Sell it for profit.

Really I called 2 times on different days and they said I can upgrade at the price at $199/$299 and i got the 3gs in Aug. when we came from verizon last year

Another thread said that only one line on an account qualifies for the upgrade. If that is true do the other lines at least qualify for the "reduced" price of $399/$499 or does only ONE line qualify for any sort of discount at all?
