Anyone know? tia

 

SSN & a fat credit card (and your SIM card if you are a current customer)

 

why the SSN?

 

Why a fat Credit Card?

 

this is what i posted in another thread


some info

"New customers and those eligible for an upgrade will be able to purchase the phone for $199 (8GB) or $299 (16GB), while "early upgraders" will have to shell out $399 or $499, all with a two year contract and $18 upgrade fee. They also mention a "no commitment" deal later on in the year of $599 and $699 respectively."

Plus the new 3G costs $10 more a month for the data plan, AND the 200 text messages isn't included on the plan, so you have to pay $5 more for that as well

and yes, you do you have to activate it in store when you purchase it. this is to prevent people from buying just the phone to sell it or to try to unlock it and use them with other carriers.


i'm sticking with my first gen iphone. the extra $10+$5 a month isn't worth the 3G when wifi hotspots work fine.
and check out the 3G coverage. it's not that great right now http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/

 

where'd you get that number for the early adopters?

 

oh, and watch out for this guy at the store
