My bad. I was busy working on my computer networks assignment. Was gone crazy haha.
I noticed that SIM-free is now one of the options on the Apple site for the upgrade program. Does this mean prepaid customers can take part, or is activation on a postpaid plan still necessary?
I visited an Apple Store today, I was told the reservation program allows a potential customer to reserve Sim-Free, TMob, VZW, or ATT in-store however; to use the Apple Upgrade Program you have to activate a T-Mob, VZW, or ATT in-store.
The specialist mentioned I can request a device unlock to my carrier as soon as I leave the store.
I got a sim free on upgrade program. The employee just activates a separate sim card with the phone. Took 5 mins.
So if I wanted to maintain my AT&T GoPhone account, would I need to activate it on one of the major carriers, cancel my account, then swap in my GoPhone SIM? Or is the upgrade program tied to the user having a "normal" postpaid plan?
Keep in mind that other people were able to make a reservation for a SIM free phone for the Apple Upgrade program, and were unable to complete it when they got to the store. Not sure if they just got someone who didn't know the plan or what... But be prepared for a "Plan B".
