According to the home page, there is gonna be a discounted 3GS for like $97 from Walmart.

Is there a way I can buy it no contract online? Im guessing its gonna be roughly 97+175+35 bucks right?

Thanks

You cant buy it with no contract.
You will have to go under contract and then cancell after 30 days so it might be a little more than your guess.

Did you not read the full article?

Wal-Mart will be cutting the price of the iPhone 3GS down to $97 with contract starting on Tuesday.

You CAN buy it without a contract, but it will cost you $599. iPhones aren't THAT cheap.

The 30 days thing is if you buy it with a contract, wait 1 month and pay the ETF as well as the month's service. If you cancel it before 1 month you have to give the phone back.

But be careful, AT&T is going to up their ETF to $325 on June 1st. So it could cost you 97+325+70 = over $500.

So no, you can't buy an iPhone w/o a contract for just $97
