I got a free iPhone 4.!

[wackymacky]

How do you pay for the insane AT&T monthly bill?

If I was on minimum wage I think I'd forgo my iPhone etc. (I mean really, how much do these toys really add to our lives?)

 

[dallas112678]

Yeah, Im going to wait a week or two to see what happen.

It will be taken out of your account. I remember when i picked mine up at launch, i wasn't actually charged until the next day or so.

Once you've gone Apple, you can't go back. So the poor kid has no option now.

I really think I got a free iPhone 4.
I place a order on ATT Premier and waited.
I couldn't take it anymore. Called Best Buy. They had it in Stock.
Went to go buy it from Best Buy.
I forgot to cancel my ATT order.
It finally shipped today. Just got it this morning.
I checked my bank account. Nothing has been taken out of my bank account.
I read that. If you don't have enough money in your account. Your order would be cancel.
I only have 158.00 dollars in my account.
Im just going to wait it out for now and see what happens.
I might sell it or return it.
Im just afraid they might charge me Full Price for the Phone.

Overdraft fees are a big hassle. You don't want them.

i pre ordered my phone through at&t, and it was delivered on launch day and i still haven't been charged for mine.

 

[mytakeontech]

I have bought from ATT premier and received my Phone on day 1. I havent been charged yet. I m sure they will charge me soon.

 

[marddin]

...don't want to overdraft!

No more overdraft thanks to Mr. Obama

 

[StuddedLeather]

Yeah. Where have people been, it's no more overdrafts for banking.

 

[Goldinboy17]

Yeah. Where have people been, it's no more overdrafts for banking.

No Sir, you have to opt-out of overdraft protection. I CBA to call.

 

[Alonzo84]

Yeah, I might just return it. I would put money in my account. But, i just don't have money right now. Im 18 by the way. I get paid minimum wage

Then buying an expensive phone was a wise decision

 

[Alonzo84]

i pre ordered my phone through at&t, and it was delivered on launch day and i still haven't been charged for mine.

You should see it on your next bill. If you're on auto pay, they will just take it.

 

[Hilmi Hamidi]

Good for you....

 

[matthewhotdude]

Ohhh some people

 

[cirial]

No more overdraft thanks to Mr. Obama

Make sure to call your bank to opt out!

 

[AndrewTieu]

Make sure to call your bank to opt out!

Not to sound like a idiot. What is opt out?

 

[JayLenochiniMac]

Yeah. Where have people been, it's no more overdrafts for banking.

More accurately, you have to opt-in if you want overdraft. It doesn't prevent irresponsible people from opting-in and screwing themselves.

What i think you should do is Sell the boxed upopened one for silly money on Ebay as they are very much in demand still. then call up AT&T tell them they havent billed you for your phone then pay up and you have jsut made $600

$200 =Payed to AT&T for the phone
$800 recieved from ebay for the sale of the phone

is $600 pure prophet providing that you have not got 2 phone contracts now in which case scrap that and send it back to AT&T


as for the overdraft thing this is how it works in the UK or atleast on my bank account.

you dont have the funds for a debit card transaction it gets declined. If it is a small transaction <£10 it will most likely go through and then you will be charged a fee of between £8 -20 depending on the bank max of £90 per month.

Its a bitch if you dont have money in the account they take there fee then slap another fee ontop of you for next month.

The iPhone you got at best buy cost you 200/300. The one from AT&T going to cost you 600/700 so you better have some money to cover it.
