Can someone please explain this to me as if I'm an idiot, as I feel like I am anyway not being able to grasp these ever evolving terms.

I picked up the 3G last september. Do I now quality for the subsidized price? (I saw it explained that way somewhere on this board, but don't know if it's true...)

how much is your monthly bill before taxes?
 
You really need to check with AT&T. Did you already call or check online and they said you don't qualify? Only AT&T knows for sure.
 
uhm just type *639# and call from your iPhone. Then you'll get a text from AT&T with the details.

This is posted somewhere else I am sure of it. :)

Hmmm, so could I bump my bill up for the time being with a higher TXT plan or something like that to get over the $100 hump, then qualify in theory...?

LOL! Nope not going to happen. Your AVERAGE bill since your new contract started in September needs to be > $100. The reason for this is if your bill is over $100 AT&T can recoup the subsidiary they gave you when you bought your phone faster. The faster they get to that magic number which is a percentage of your monthly bill the sooner they can offer you a new subsidiary and a new contract.

So changing your bill today then trying to get a phone tomorrow or next month will not work.
