Called ATT and they say I meet EVERY requirement for the $199 price (Over $100 per month, 12 months since i Got 3G). They said they cant understand why the website is not updating everyones status. There going to call me tomarrow and said if the site hasn’t changed by then “Will get you taken care of so you can get the 3Gs” My Account and return Text message says 1/3/10. So there still might be hope out there.

They say there are no dumb questions, but I am going to give it shot with this one. My wife dropped her 3G about a week ago and completely cracked the screen. Phone still work, but it is starting to chip. Anyway she was just going to wait and upgrade today. Well like you Brooke (AT&T must have something against wives) she doesn’t qualify for the upgrade, but I do. Same thing bought our phones on the same day, bu we are completely different accounts.
Anyway, can I upgrade and just give her my phone after I hard reset it? AT&T won’t care will they? It is all a matter of swapping the SIM cards correct?

What I won’t be doing is standing in line like last year, just wait for it to come in the mail.

I have no idea why I’m not eligible? I bought the 3G within the first week of it coming out so I should be just as early as people having the ability to update and I pay around $90/month based on my plans minutes/data/texts so if it’s about paying something for a bill I don’t get it as I’m on a single plan no family talk.

The only thing I can think of is I didn’t buy the original iPhone until around 3 months into it being out… did that + my purchase of the 3G last year bump my length up to how long it’d be for me to be eligible?

If you’re on a family talk and you’re the $9.99 line you have to wait longer because you don’t pay as much as the primary line..
