AT&T just told me that if your account has a good history and is in good standing on 5/1, it will be cleared for upgrade. In case one is impatient to get that new phone, ya know :)

Does anyone know if you must order directly from AT&T (Online/Phone) or can I go into a store and get this? my upgrade is first or second week of May. I'd like to purchase it tomm.

I'm getting the S4. When I spoke to the manager of our AT&T store, she said they only got 8 in, all sold in 3 minutes. Our Best Buy has none, zero, nada. So even though I might be eligible tomorrow, looks like I will still have to wait.

Not anymore. Anyway, I have 2 lines eligible at different dates in May that just became full upgrade eligible.

Even if you go in store? I know online it will tell you are not eligible, but if you go in store and have an extensive history with at&t they usually give you lots of wiggle room.

Well, I guess it's worth a try. However, it seems like they are allowing less and less.
