I was on vacation in Boston last month and tried all apple stores for 16Gb iphones. All apple stores in Boston were sold out and low on the 8Gb models.
Tried the at&t stores in Boston. They were a joke. They had plenty of both in stock but told me that they could not sell me any phones unless I signed a contract there and then for 5 years.
My girlfriend telephoned another at&t store in Boston and was told that their policy was that they did not sell handsets alone and that you had to sign up for a 2 year contract in store. Does anyone know the exact policy ??? Was it just the English accent that led them to tell lies????
Anyone had the same problems with at&t.
That told exactly to a friend i sent to buy iphone.They said that he has to sign a contract.I believe that you are right.I think that is the accent that make them to behave like this because as far as i know if you pay the full retail price of the phone they are supposed to sell it.So as i previously said the only way it's applestore!
