This is a conversation I had with a Tech through the chat with a Tech Live feature on att.com. Take this how you want but there is some info in here that is very appealing to me. This info might be known already and if it is just take this as another person stating that its true.

Welcome to the New AT&T Data Support Chat! Good evening I understand that you ahve a question about the Iphone and you family plan?
Me:
Yes I do thank you, I plan on getting an iPhone next friday and i am in a family plan with my mom will i have to cancel both numbers or can i just extend my number for two years and pay the $699 for the iPhone
Kenneth_S To Me:
You would just extend your contract on your phone for the Iphone.
Me:
Also how much would it be for me to buy it under contract? Would i just pay $600 (I plan on getting the 8GB) or will it be more money because I'm still under contract?
Kenneth_S To Me:
599.00.
Me:
Also, just to clarify, I would just have to extend my number? My mom's number will not be extended as well?
