Discount question for current AT&T sub who has previously bought be never activated.

[jalpert]

I bought an iphone in Oct. Signed up for AT&T 2 months ago, sold the iphone, never activated on AT&T. If I activate my friends iphone and use it for a week, will I qualify for upgrade eligibility? Per AT&T if you purchased a gen 1 iphone before 7-11 you qualify, and I did, but I never activated it. Thoughts?

did you take a subsidy when you signed up 2 months ago?

 

[jalpert]

yes

 

[tritonj]

so just to recap make sure i understand this

1. purchased iPhone in Oct, never signed up for service
2. sold iPhone
3. signed up for service 2 months ago and received subsidy for different phone

if the above is true, then you probably won't qualify, you took the subsidy already

 

[jalpert]

That is correct.

By those rules, no. But, the AT&T site clearly states that anyone who bought a 1st generation iphone before 7-11 qualifies. So I guess my question is this. Can AT&T see that I bought an iphone in their system qualifying me?

If you qualify, will you sell the new iPhone?

well i don't see how they see that in the system when you never activated and committed to a 2 year with it

Nope, I'm on AT&T now, they have 3rd party apps, this iphone is mine to keep.
