hey i was wondering if theres a way i can get an iphone.

im 14 and im on a family plan with two other family members. I plan on paying the bill 100% by myself but the only thing is that i cant get the contract . And everyone else is in my family is on a plan already so they cant put under their name. I don't know much about wireless bills or contracts so any help is appreciated thanks in advance.

Take a parent with you (one that is on the contract) and buy the iPhone. (Assuming you are with AT&T currently) AT&T will simply upgrade your phones plan to an iPhone plan, you will keep your family minutes and everything, but you will extend the contract on your number for 2 more years.

Yeah, you can keep your current plan, and on *your line only* it would add $20 a month, for data and 200 text messages.

You just plug it into itunes and select "replace current phone."

*Your line only* would then have a 2 year commitment as well.
