AT&T Moves Up iPhone Upgrade Eligibility On Eve of WWDC Keynote

[kvasir]

As a valued AT&T customer, you may be eligible for an upgrade on this line, with no-commit equipment pricing and without signing a 2-year commitment. Click 'Upgrade Eligibility' to view your upgrade options.

My upgrade is March 2011. If there is an iPhone on Verizon before then, I'm gone.

didn't a poster mention this a week ago?

399/499 pricing is not available until March 2011. What the!!!

Sorry man that sucks...if you really want it you can add a line

Sorry for the bad news but ATT usually only allows the "master number" to be eligible first... the rest of the numbers follow the normal upgrade time line...and they base it all on how much you spend each month.

How do i know which one is the main master number? I don't think the one eligible is the main number.

What's up with the $18 fee?

activation and sim card

As long as your bill is like $100 they let you upgrade every 12 months for the normal price.

What I dont get is when I asked about upgrading to a 3GS you can see in the snapshot that is was $99 for me, now its jacked up to $149.

I'm gonna be disputing this. That's just ridiculous!!

 

[chuckles:)]

Hopefully rogers follows suit. I want a subsidized upgrade.

Rogers never follows suit...

They might give you a discounted iPhone, but they'll want you to sign a 26 year contract.

do you have a att account? if so you can check in there

I've had a 3GS since the June of last year and I can't upgrade until March of 2011.

Ignore what it says at the top of the upgrade page and instead look at the prices of the iPhones. If the 32GB shows $299 then you're ok.... and eligible despite what it says

There was a story on this a few weeks ago:

Where do I find a definitive answer? When I click "check upgrade eligibility" it only says I "may" be eligible.

 

[rcandre2]

Whoever is listed as the account owner online.

"error performing request" unknown error. Are you guys overloading their servers?

 

[hexonxonx]

On June 4th, I was eligible on 6/20. Saturday I was not eligible until 11/20. Suddenly when I checked Sunday morning at 5.42 AM I am eligible NOW

 

[golding2]

Slow

Is it just me, or is AT&T's website one of the slowest around? It seems to take forever. (I've got FiOS... it's not me.)

Sorry for the dup post. It says 299 for me. Does this mean I'm eligible for a free upgrade? Also why does this confirm it?

 

[Mr. Gates]

Woah check out what these guys did!

My upgrade price for the 32GB 3GS (despite already owning this phone) is $449. I'm guessing that the new one will be the same.

 

[rcandre2]

Woah guys seriously check this out! These guys are crazy!

"these guys" isn't it more like "you guys" .... nice change from the blendtec videos

Still early upgrade for me, full discount march 2011.

I guess you're not eligible for a "full" discount yet as you stated....i'd keep checking
