"You may select and equipment at our full retail pricing. An upgrade may be available on 5/26/2011." I don't care because I'm using my mom's upgrade to get an iPhone 4. 
Got a tip for us?

That's sure nice of her.
That's when I first signed up with AT&T and purchased my 3G. Skipped the 3GS to purchase this one.
Correct, but the data plan and Imei are still linked to my account (says ATT) .
I even put my sim in a friends 3GS today, and got the same message when dialing
Well, one of 2 things is happening here:
1) I've been saying for a while that the AT&T systems are still "settling out". Not everyone's upgrade date changes are finalized. People need to chill and wait until the 14th to worry.
2) Despite the fact that your iPhone and IMEI are "linked" to you account, when AT&T scanned their network for iPhone accounts, you didn't have an iPhone on it. And unless they do another scan again while you have an iPhone on the account, your date won't change.
"Thank you for contacting AT$T. We would be happy to offer you two more years of dropped calls and crappy service for an $18.00 no reason at all charge."
I'll just keep my 3GS and wait for Verizon or someone else to carry the iPhone. I cannot stand AT$T anymore.

Not if part 2 is correct. You'd have to convince a CSR to give you the upgrade somehow since the system isn't going to do it automatically.
Edit: Let me be clear...I'm not saying you shouldn't be, but due to you removing the iPhone, the system won't bump you. This is my guess.
Well the AT&T rep told me it's on my account, so it should be the same system. Who knows, this has been a disaster.
Exactly what happened to me a while back when I used my HTC TILT for a couple days in substitute of my iPhone, just to prove a point that AT&T somehow scanned the network and noticed I had a different phone other than my iPhone. The HTC TILT showed up in my account. Then when I put my SIM back into the iPhone, the picture in my account changed back to an iPhone.
The only time I have seen it not change, is when I have used a phone that AT&T never sold i.e. Sony k850i. Then the picture in my account was blank since they couldn't recognize that phone in their system.
It just reads what phone you have your sim card in. i dont think they "scan a network"

What mine says also
Agreed, but I think the "scanning" happened when they were bumping up upgrade dates. And they probably did it based on the IMEI currently active on the line.
I get THIS one.
"As a valued customer, we can offer you an upgrade with a new 2-yr commitment and waive the $18 upgrade fee."
Mine changed to this sometime last night:
Mine states, "As a valued customer, we can offer you an upgrade with a new 2-yr commitment and an $18 upgrade fee."
In other words, eligible for the $199/$299 pricing of the iPhone 4 with an additional $18 upgrade fee.
But I should be getting the upgrade fee waived because of my FAN account.

See I have a FAN account as well, but I receive the same message; paying an $18 fee. I thought that would be waived as well since I have a FAN account. Hmmmmm....
I have a FAN account, and the message says that the fee is waived...right up front.
A full discount on a standard headset or iPhone upgrade is not available at this time but u may qualify on 12/07/10. We can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a higher price with a 2 yr commitment and an $18 upgrade fee.
i sold my iphone in april to prepare for the iphone 4, took off the data plan too to get the unlimited BB data plan. I sold my iphone to my nephew and hes letting me use it right now, i hope i dont get screwed.

Interesting. I guess I will be calling AT&T tomorrow and asking them why my fee is not being waived.
