Ok. So I am going to try and explain this as good as I can so its clear. I have had an iPhone since December. My younger brother really liked it so he got my entire family to switch over to ATT in mid June. He did not buy an iPhone at first because he was waiting for the 3g. So since he has not previously owned an iPhone...nor is he due for a new 2 year agreement...he can't get the new iPhone for 199.00 like the rest of us. He doesnt want to pay the 400 soo....here is our idea. Let me know if you think this would work. Ok. so first, I buy the new iPhone 3g for 199.00 and since I no longer need my 1 generation phone...I sell it to him. He then walks into ATT and say he needs to upgrade his plan so he can use the iPhone he purchased from someone. So now he has an iPhone...and an iPhone account. Next...he goes into an apple store and since he now has an old iPhone plus an iPhone account he purchases the new iPhone for 199.00 and goes home and activates it through iTunes. Last step...he sells my original first generation phone on ebay and recovers some of the cash he spent. SOO....what do you think?? could this really work? Let me know your thoughts.
