Me and my wife both got the iPhone 4 last year together on the release date. We normally had separate plans but decided to do a family plan to save a few bucks.
Anyway, when we check our upgrade options it tells me that she can upgrade for the 199 and I will have to pay the 199 plus the 250 or wail till Feb 25 2012.
I called ATT and asked WTF as to why she can get and I cant even though we both bought on the same date. They told me its the way the bill is paid. She pays the brunt of the bill and i pay the lesser half the way the computer has it setup. So basically one of us gets screwed because of a technicallity which is BS.
ATT told me that I could still use her upgrade if i wanted but then she would have to wait. I would just go in the store and buy a phone then go home and activate it with my number.
Now here is the question.
If i Pre order on Apples website on OCT 7th its going to ask me the phone number im upgrading which would be me. Now i am the one that needs to pay a total of 450 to upgrade. Now when you go into a ATT store and buy they don't activate it there. You just buy go home plug into iTunes then select the number you are upgrading.
Doing on Apple.com I would probably have to say im upgrading my wifes phone for the 199. If i do this will the ordered phone come setup with her number? Or could i still put into iTunes and activate it with my number?
Basically my wife gets the upgrade and I don't. She could care less about the new one and I want one.
Do you understand the question im asking?
Can i preorder or will i have to buy in the store.
