Will I have to pay for the first month there and then? Should I expect a $40 activation fee when I get to the store?
Got a tip for us?

I don't know how activation works, but...

You'll be billed for your first month AFTER 30 days or so.
Activation fees may vary. I remember having to pay an activation fee for the first iPhone when I purchased it. I'm sure it's still done this way.
All you pay in store is the price of the phone and state tax. Billing and activation fees appear on your bill.
Maybe I didn't?
Maybe they waved it! I can't remember. (It's been years now!)
I think it has to do with your credit score.
It might have something to do with it among other factors. Mine is excellent 750+, I haven't been on contract for 3 years and I still have to pay it according to the text info. From what I've heard, it's complicated how they determine it.
Okay, but do I have to provide a credit card to AT&T then and there? Just wondering how much I'll have to have on my debit when I get there.
What?! I dont have that much on my card! I jsut have enough to pay for the phone...Is it this way if i pay cash also?
I don't think you can pay in cash. The last time I tried, my dad and I were going to split it between a credit card and cash, they wouldn't take it.
I hope you have enough for the tax then... if you don't have an extra $18, you might be able to use another card.
