Anyone here purcahsed an Iphone 4, paid in full, ATT still push your contract date up to 2012? I thought if I purchase a new Iphone 4 paying full, the contract would remain as is. But when I checked earlier today, it jumped up to 6/23/2012. OMG

You paid the $699? That's no-commitment and they can't extend your contract if you did that.
It's an AT&T thing... they require a 2 year contract on the iPhone. Period.
I'm really surprised there hasn't been a class action on this before now. You shouldn't be forced into a 2 year agreement if you didn't get your phone subsidized.... gee, how much is the ETF for that contract? The one that you didn't save on the phone?

I know thats' what I thought. If forum poster here don't mind, can someone who purchased an iphone 4 in full price confirm their ATT account? Much appreciated.
Unless it has changed since i last considered an iPhone and read, it didn't matter when an iPhone was involved. The original iPhone users were locked into 2 year contracts too, with no subsidy.
No, they sell no contract iphones for this reason. ATT does NOT require such a contract on non contract iphones
Ok, I don't seem to understand. $199/$299 is the new new contract/line or upgrade price for the phone. $399(16GB)/$499(32GB) is the price if you purchase the phone before you are eligible for an upgrade (That's what listed I was charged last year). What is the $699/$799 for then?
399/499 is with an "Early Upgrade". 599/699 is the price for the phone outright with no contract, just buying the phone or if you are not eligible for early upgrade.
I just read that here: http://www.macworld.com/article/151907/2010/06/iphone4_faq.html
But it had been that in order to USE it you had to have the 2 year contract - you can't go month to month with it. So you are saying you can do that now?
That is good - and the OP needs to call and holler at someone!
Thanks. I guess they were misinformed when they said that AT&T doesn't sell iPhones without a contract.
