Getting an iPhone 3G for cheaper

Okay, I, being a half Jew, have found a legal hole in the AT&T iPhone 3G contract that lets you get an iPhone 3G for about the same price as an iPhone 1. big_smile

First, lets break it down.
An iPhone 1 costs $400/500, and if you get it for much less than that, you're getting it in bad condition or youre getting ripped off
An iPhone 3G costs $200/300 with a plan that costs almost $100 a month, and $600/700 sans contract.

Now, this plan is still a work in progress, as I'm still looking into all the legal stuff, but here goes. You can get an iPhone 3G for about $430/530 with this. You sign up for a contract, choosing the least options possible to get the cheapest per-month cost. Pay for your phone and contract, and leave the store. Don't touch your phone for at least 30 days, paying the first month's bill. Pay the $170 early cancellation fee. Now, because you stuck with the contract for more than 30 days, you get to keep the phone after canceling your contract.

Now remember, I'm still working on this, and Ill let you know anything else I find big_smile

Guy lol. If I was a Jewish woman, I would verbally emasculate the AT&T guys until they gave it to me for free. But seeing as I'm a Jewish guy, I look for the shrewdest way to get things lol. Learn your Jews big_smile

Anyway, yeah, as far as I know, it should work, I just need to triple check on Monday.

Re: Getting an iPhone 3G for cheaper

Lmfao, no offense of any kind, but aint ALL women like that? Women over the world, no offense. My mom is a woman, so are my sisters. Am grateful to my mom for giving birth to me and raising me and all the women in my life for giving me a rather "more-feminized" view of the world. But that doesnt mean women dont do the CRAZIEST stuff sometimes, which something I CANNOT say I am against. Know what am saying? But hell, you should see some women from where I come from. Not only would they get it for free, they'd get some free gifts as well. xD!!!!
Thats one.
Oh, one more thing. Dont any of you get any ideas. I am a straight man. Dont be getting any ideas bout me swaying around if you know what I mean. Wth..?
THATS one. >|

Two...

shrewdest

I need some Hebrew classes so.. Shrewdest..? Explain, please. Regular English. Or even Hebrew, I might understand a little seeing our... *Main* languages are similar. Mine being Arabic. <<;
And if there are ANY haters out there not having anyone to hate on, you can hate on us BOTH me and Metal. To all you haters, feel free to hate on me! Hate as much as you like. It only points out the fact that I am different and unique and people envy me. So Metal... Whats it gon be? xD! -Hand out for a shake- >>;

Three!

Anyway, yeah, as far as I know, it should work, I just need to triple check on Monday.

Tell me how it goes! xD!!!!!


Damn.. This is by FAR the most.. Weridest post I ever made in my life I think...>>;


The Operator... Damn I need some sleep.. -Sigh-

Re: Getting an iPhone 3G for cheaper

I forsee a problem with this: What if you couldn't find a new contract? I don't know AT&T prices, but I don't think ANYONE offers a cheap contract for data. Sure you can keep the phone, but theres no point in using it without having a contract

Re: Getting an iPhone 3G for cheaper

it was explained to me at the mac store, that if you purchase a 3g iphone, you have to have a plan no matter what. the higher price is set because if you cancel early, they charge you cancellation fee + difference of the iphone cost. also, there is a small chance you have to pay full price anyway, even with signing a contract. its all pretty convoluted. but any way you cut it 1000$ iphones are rediculous.

Re: Getting an iPhone 3G for cheaper

Lmfao yeam, Mad. xDD!!
xDD!!! Now I realize that BOTH of my posts were really crazy. xD!


And Magic, those people at the Mac store only know as far as Apple tell them. There are WAY more ways to get an iPhone without having to sign a contract. Cuz whats REALLY ridiculous is that they force us to get a contract so we can get the phone. Wth is up with that?

Ah, I forgot you go by that name on -Hacks.....



Also, I did some double checking, and my plan is totally sound. Unlimited data on my current plan is just another $15 a month, and even an AT&T guy, once he figured out why I asked about the iPhone and my plan in the same breath, said it was a pretty awesome plan.

Y'see, with any plan, once you pay for one month of service, you have legally fulfilled one of the parts of the deal for getting the subsidized phone, which is to pay a monthly fee. It doesn't matter how many months, once you pay the ETF, it cancels out the monthly part of the contract, and the phone is still yours smile

And Operator, shrewd means looking out for #1. You do everything in your power to make your own life better big_smile

Re: Getting an iPhone 3G for cheaper

You can actually do this. If you buy 5 at a time you can use the family plan (around $250 total) and while the first activation is $37, the next 4 are only $26. Before the first month is up cancel the service, paying for the $175/phone. If you sell 4 on ebay, even charging a little less than what others are doing, you've got the 5th one for free.

Of course, you need to have the $1,200 (8GB) up front to do it. And if you ever want to buy more iPhones, AT&T will hesitate to sell it to you.

I haven't done this, but I know someone that did.

Bests,

Cpt Grey
