Awesome! thanks. :]

Thanks for this. It looks like this answered the rest of my questions. I don't have to pay an additional $36 and all I need is the last 4 digits of ss# of the primary account holder and the account number itself. Also and data plan that I have on my account will automatically be removed, just not sure about the text package.

Now we just need the training manual from the Apple store! Somehow I doubt that will be leaked.

" Always make sure the customer understands there is no discount available on iPhone, in any circumstance."
Interesting quote from the manual​

I'm glad it finally answers the question about what people do if they find out they're required to put up a security deposit.

And I told a user yesterday that it would be best to get pre-approval before leaving the store.

That quote made me sad. My dad is a retiree from ATT. He worked for them for 30 some years. I was going to activate it in his name to get a discount on service. I will still get one.

the credit check is only for those that are opening new lines, right?

my credit is just fine, i just don't want them hassling me for it if i don't have to.

 

[Lazarus]

What's up with this from page 31.

"MEdiaNet will be used to access the Internet. MMS and IM messages are included in the customer’s iPhone Data Plan."

If you read the context in the full 65 page document, this is active when the iPhone SIM is inserted into another phone.

page 30-31

"If a customer decides to insert their iPhone SIM card into another AT&T device they will have
the following experience:

-Visual Voicemail will not be available, however regular voicemail will be accessible by pressing “1” to hear messages.

-MEdiaNet will be used to access the Internet. MMS and IM messages are included in the customer’s iPhone Data Plan.

-Contacts will not be accessible via the SIM."

The way they have it placed in a different box makes it rather misleading though.

I kind of figured the iPhone would use existing MediaNet settings. Heck, the PDA and MediaNet plans both use the same wap.cingular gateway to access the internet, but AT&T charges different prices for the same pipeline. Unlike other phones, you will just not be able to edit those settings on the iPhone...at least that's what I presume.
