hi guys,

i would like to buy a couple of i phone 4s to sell on eBay.

I recently had a contract with ATT but it just ended a few months ago.

What would I need to do to pick buy a couple of these iphones to sell on eBay?

Once, I had a 2 year contract with them and have the iphone 4. can i buy more iphone 4s since now I got a contract?

if the phone is already activated and it has service on it under my name, how can i get rid of that? so i can sell on eBay?

answers appreciated.
 
AT&T subsidizes iPhone prices when you get a 2-year contract. But only for the first purchase. If you bought another iPhone now, it would cost a LOT more, to the point that you wouldn't really make a profit on eBay. Unless you want to add another line with AT&T, you're not going to be able to get another one for the 200/300 price point.
 
i had a friend that just told me that it's it's one contract per iphone. is this true? or can you get more then 1 iphone for 1 contract?
 
you sign a new contract and get one iphone at a subsidized price.

the rest are full price. so it will be very hard to make any money.

Yes, obviously they wont keep giving you iphones for the $199-299 price. Thats only once per 18-24 months. After the first one you can buy full price iphone 4's for $599 and $699 for the 32GB model.
