So walmart buy new 3GS
97 + 125 cancelation fee

+ activation $30 = 252 ish

On my end... sell my 3gs for 375 with apps accessories etc..

buy new 4g 199 etc.. even if I am shelling out $75 or whatever outof pocket, its still an alright transaction..

It will mean she'll have to keep 3gs for awhile or go through same ordeal to get 4g or shell out 175 (assuming i buy by 5/31)


Im not saying its a perfect plan, but I know she wants an iphone regardless and she wont care if its just a 3gs lol

Why not wait just two more weeks and shell out less than a hundred bucks to get both of you brand new 4Gs? None of what you're talking about makes any sense.

I think only one of his lines are upgrade eligible. The other isn't even early upgrade eligible if I understand this right.

I think he's trying to find a really round-about way of saving money while getting a 4G for himself and a 3GS for his wife.

Well if that's the case, then this should work for him.

Upgrade the eligible one to 4G.
Add a new line for 4G.
Cancel non eligible line and pay cheaper ETF.
 
digitalduck, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
 
Ceiph, seriously quoting "Billy Madison?" come on that's lame. For he rest of you I spoke to another CS rep who said when I buy it to just mention that I'm switching numbers to that line and tons of people are calling in looking to do the same thing. Makes sense get her a 3gs sell mine for a 4g and we're all good!!!

Hey whatever you do, make sure to not pay the huge new ETF. Make sure what you are doing works out, my advice.
 
Thanks elephunkman,

Here is what I came up with...going to get one today...switch number to that line...

leave previous line open since its contract is up in 3/11 instead of paying the etf of $125 i will just leave it open and then I can use its upgrade if i wanted to for the 4g but i have an upgrade of 12/10....so its cheaper to leave it open then pay the etf :) regardless if i close it 3/11 or use it somehow...its only $100 total (9.99 x 10) instead of $125 :) which is what the etf is currently.

Then ill sell my 3gs whenever and wait till december or whatever i do for the 4g im not sure yet...but as far as the other line goes looks like it will work out.
