Think AT&T will push up upgrade eligibility?

maflynn said:
it only mentions that I have to pay 18 bucks but it is possible I still have to kick in extra $$ The issue is that there is no iPhone 5 so I cannot be sure what ATT will do. I've said this in another thread, I'm probably not going to upgrade anyways, so I'll let this update pass on by and then when an LTE equipped iPhone hits the streets I'll grab that

Oh I agree. There is seemingly no decipherable pattern with upgrade eligibility and things will probably change once the iPhone is announced. I just saw the mention of the $18 fee and I know that is part of the offer I mentioned above.
 
Mine was at 6/25/12, now it's at 11/25/11. So do we think it's gonna get pushed up even more? I bought my iPhone 4 launch day.

I have the 11/25/11 date as well, got a feeling I'll be able to get a full discount on day one.

Man mine says 12/06/11! I want to upgrade this year, so tired of my 3GS. I was so tempted to upgrade to iPhone 4 but waited. Hopefully AT&T will push my upgrade to October. I wanted to preorder as well.....Dam.
 
It looks like AT&T moved some up, but not to the release date. Interesting that they chose Black Friday?

I'm betting it's a placeholder to not give away the release date.
 
damn mine still shows 2/23/2012

how much did AT&T bump for the iphone 4 release? i thought they bumped everyone that would have been eligible by december with a june phone release. maybe i'm wrong...
 
Mine is and has been 11/25/2011 for a couple months. I bought the iPhone 4 on launch but my bill is under $100/month. I also bought the 3GS at launch so hopefully they will bump us soon.
 
I'm 11/25/11 as well. We have two iPhones on our plan and our bill is over $100. I got my iP4 at launch and am the primary number. I fully expect to be eligible for early upgrade when the iPhone 5 launches

Pretty sure 12/06/11 is still this year. You swear like it's a matter of life or death if you dont get to preorder on release day.
 
Showing 11/30 here. Bought about 1 week after launch (when ATT started selling it), 2 iPhones on the account.

I do, my niece decided to do and throw my 3GS on our marble floor. I am using a gophone when I own a ebay store that constantly gets emails plus I absolutely love iPhone 4 and now 5. I have missed over 5 calls from UPS just because my phone drops calls like crazy!

11/25/11 here too. AT&T customer since launch day last year, bill is under $100. Hope they bump it, but if not, it's not that long a wait. My iP4 is still working fine.

EDIT: Looking back through my text logs, apparently it's been that date since January 20th, maybe earlier. So perhaps I will be bumped.
 
I bought my iPhone 4 last year on launch day, and I've been eligible for an upgrade since July. I am normally eligible every 12 months.
 
I have a very interesting history:

Jun 10 , 2011 - 02/25/2012
July 26, 2011 - 11/25/2011
August 11, 2011 - 11/25/2011
Sept. 2, 2011 - 02/25/2012
Today - 02/25/2012

ATT doesn't like me I guess lol. Oh, no rate changes.
 
Hopefully, if they do the 6 month push up again, I can get it at the 199 pricing, but I have a feeling they might just push up anyone who is eligible until the end of the year only. In that case, I'm ready to buy it at the 399 early pricing.
 
I bought a 3GS in February of 2010 and my upgrade isn't until November 7, 2011.

I have a family plan with 2 iPhones, unlimited text, etc... Never been late on a payment or anything like that either.
 
iPhone 4 early upgrade eligibility was 6 months early, right? Like you can upgrade up to 6 months before you can upgrade without paying an ETF. I think I remember that from the keynote.

Either way, if you bought an iPhone on launch date, you can upgrade to the new iPhone without any ETF once it launches in a year. So I'm guessing the 6 months early upgrade means you can upgrade to the new iPhone after buying a current iPhone in 6 months.

But I'm not sure if I'm misinterpreting this or not.
