cingular to family plan at&t

[whyrichard]

Hey,

My wife wants to come to the iphone side...

I have a family plan which she is not yet included in. She wants to get an iphone on att, keep her phone number, and get on my family plan.

what is the easiest way to do this?

we were going to try to get the phone for $150... from walmart?

should i go to walmart in person? can do it online? how to ensure the number porting and family plan thing go correctly?

thanks,
r.

Walmart sells iPhones now? huh. could happen I guess.

I added a mother in law to a family plan with no issues. Just tell them you have a family plan and the main number of it. (yours probably)

Then ask them to port the number over. I had to do that also. Easy to do. no problem.

I also had them make sure she got the unlimited texts and used the family plan minutes also. They got it right the first time.

when you say 'they', do you mean the peeps at an apple store?

hope the folks at the local walmart can manage...

I don't go into walmart stores. too much walking.

The wife and mother in law went into a phone store. Neither of then got iPhones. They got some crap called an evergreen with a slide out keyboard.

You cant get into the local apple store without appointments, flowers, and candy anymore! Too crowded all the time.
