I've seen several posts that lead me to believe they were able to go somewhere and it told them when they were eligible to upgrade. I went to the AT&T site and all it said was that I was not eligible to upgrade at this time. I think I purchased my iPhone sometime last September, but I sure would like to know the exact date I'd be eligible to upgrade as I've seen 2 years, 18 months and even 12 months (if primary line, which I am). Anyone know how to find out your exact upgrade date?

If you purchased iPhone 3G, then you are not eligible for the discounted pricing.
I know that. But at some date I will be eligible, I'm just trying to find out when that date is.
You can call AT&T and ask them, they will tell you the date. (Just dial 611 from your AT&T phone). Sometimes you have to jump through hoops to find it online.
Log on to your account at att.com, click Phone/Device, then click Check Uprade Options. It'll give you the date you're eligible for a full discount upgrade.
It depends. I bought 2 3Gs last July at the same time, both on the same family plan. The primary phone is eligible after 17 months, the secondary phone is eligible after 20 months.
I just called AT&T and they told me July 13, 2009, which is pretty much a year from the day I purchased the 3G. It also says that on the iPhone purchase website as well as my "upgrade options" on the AT&T web site. Why it is only 12 months and not 18-24 months, I do not know. Someone suggested that it depends on how much you spend per month that determines your upgrade date. I have the unlimited plan with unlimited text. Otherwise, I do not know.
