nate256 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 So i got my contract back in may of 2008 and of course i want an iphone but i do not want to have to pay 400 and 500 since i would need to upgrade when i am not eligible. So is there any way what so ever for me to get the iphone at the discounted prices in my situation? I heard if you have an original iphone they will give you the discount prices on the 3G, so could i borrow some ones 1st gen., and activate it on my line and then get the cheap upgrade and give it back to them? or is that not true. What are my options here? hopefully more than fork out 500 for a 16 gig..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzerker Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The only way to be able to pay $199/$299 is to set up a new contract, or add a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate256 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 so basically I am stick paying $500...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostgame Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 It might be cheaper to actually buy out of your contract than to pay the $500. Check it out, it might only cost you $300 for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate256 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 But wouldn't it cost me $175 dollar early termination fee? than on top of the $36 dollar activatin fee so... 300+175+36=516 So as far as i can tell it is best if i just buy it and pay the $500 also is it possible if i buy an iphone and than go back and buy another one? So my friends can get one? Is there a limit to how many you can get per line at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzerker Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I think there's a limit of 5 per line, so I think you're ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
