They don't need your last name, just email and first name, FYI.
I think anyone who's signing a new contract should be eligible. I mean, I DO technically have an AT&T account which is up for termination/upgrade. I was referred to the iphone by my husband (by "The Iphone is awesome, I'll be getting one and so will you"). I did my own research and decided it was freakin' awesome, thus keeping the at&t account.
So even though I have an at&t account (which I woulda switched over to Verison if not for the iphone), and was told I should get the iphone and *could* chose to walk, but am staying because I was "REFERRED" to stay... LOL. It's after 5 am... what do you expect? I'm not lucid at this hour.
It just makes sense that it should work. I could close the account and open a new one, since I just could, but then I'd have to get a new number. It's not worth 25 bucks. It just stinks that we're signing new contracts and don't have the same rights as new customers. Ha!
I almost feel like it is easier for people who don't have AT&T already. I feel sorry for the people who still have to sign new contracts, pay more money, and add a data plan for more moeny without any choice in the matter. It seems like some AT&T customers are getting shafted big-time for being a loyal customer. Granted, if you got a Tilt for a back-up phone, you're in pretty good shape. REALLLLY wish I woulda gotten the 1st gen phone. Imagine having that as a "just in case" phone. I know a girl who accidentally dropped her phone in a bar toilet and flushed it. But that was in my undergrad years... it was funny at the time. The cool part was is that she got a free phone cuz she had the insurance (which was like $3.95 at the time) even after telling the Cingulair rep about her drunken pisscapade.
Glad I kept the POS Rzr (no, not the v3, the original). I found out that I've had it since early '05 and have been eligible for a long time. It's time to upgrade.
Let me know if you'd like a referral. This could really work out well for everyone and offset costs if you're upgrading early. Ideally, current AT&T customers could end up getting the 16GB phone for $174.99 if we do get 5 referrals (even tho you get the gift cards later). That's awesome!

I have to hand it to you though, this thread is a genius idea. Pure genius. Good job! (ps. still have a couple referrals left, send your first names and email address)
sarahg-apnp - I assumed they would need both, but you are right, only the first name is required. Thanks!
I have 4 referrals left, please send PM with First and Last name and a valid email address..
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yeah, this is a great way to collectively kick AT&T's butt a little!!! No new AT&T customer should pass up this offer! Every iphone buyer who is moving to AT&T just for the iphone should be getting a giftcard!
Giftcards for all!!!

I can not agree with you more! There is never enough giftcards to go around!!
it doesn't work like that at all. i gave out the maximum number of referrals last year, all of them to people switching to at&t for the iphone. have you even been through the process through to the end? why make stuff up about it if you haven't?
If you are just signing up for ATT service, you can only use one referral for all 4 numbers since you are going to be on a family plan.....
I have 5 referrals as well. if you would like them feel free to PM me or Name and Email address. I will then send you the link from the ATT website for the referral. you can also email me at wdprice1 (at) gmail (dot) com. please put ATT Referral in the subject line.
If you're going to be a new AT&T customer...
I also have FIVE available referrals.
Send me a message here with your name (first/last) and e-mail address.
Once I have five people I'll give info to AT&T.
AT&T will then send you an "invite" link/info, etc.
