So right now I have a plain old At&t phone and am part of a family plan. The main phone on the plan is my mom's iPhone. I got it only about 3 weeks ago, and today I talked to an At&t worker on the phone and he said that if I wanted to have an iPhone on that plan, I would need to pay only $30 more per month than I am paying now. This got me interested in buying an iPhone 3g. My question is how would I go about changing my phone to an iPhone, and would I need to deactivate my current At&t account?
Got a tip for us?

All you have to do is go to an at&t store, and buy the iPhone and have them use your current SIM or your current number on your Mom's account. If however, your line is not elegible for an upgrade, you will have to pay full price, otherwise it will just be $199/$299 the $18 upgrade fee, and $30 more per month from then on.

It should be on the at&t account page, or if the phone was activate 18 months or more ago.

The odds are yes. You would be best off talking to her about this, then going together to an at&t store (as they have an easier time with those upgrades) and take care of it, plus you can't really do anything to the account with out the person whose name it is under.
