plus fruad is still fraud no matter how you pretty it up..I know multibillion dollar company etc. oh well enjoy the money.

um yeah, even though ATT made the mistake, its fraud because he followed through right? would it be fraud if bestbuy misposted the PS3 on its website for $99 instead of $399 and I bought it for that price? I suggest you look up the definition so you can understand what fraud really means and stop the hate cause he made a profit and not you. :rolleyes:
 
you don't get a unexpected bill pretty soon! so does it say you can get a 3rd one today? that's another $400 profit. I just see this a a post in a Few weeks AT&T is taking me to court or they want there money what to I do etc etc. plus fruad is still fraud no matter how you pretty it up..I know multibillion dollar company etc. oh well enjoy the money.

That is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. It said he could upgrade so he did, ATT cant do sh*t even if they do realize it was a mistake. You really live in a hole huh? Stop being jealous b/c you didnt get this deal. I hate by the books harry's LIKE YOU!!!!!!
 
This happened to me. My brother was able to take advantage of it and get himself a 3Gs for the subsidized price. And it only added 1 month to my contract.
 
It will work, and he will most likely get away with it. 2 years ago I got a curve and my eligibility did not disappear, so I bought my wife one too. Nothing ever happened.

I don't thinks its fraud, it's no different than something tagged wrong at a store and you still buying it at a lower price without saying anything. However, its probably not the most honest thing to do.
 
Okay Im just gonna tell you my moms situation.. She upgraded her phone after her 2 years was up, a week later it said she could upgrade again.. she waited and waited, to see if it would change.. after a month and a half.. she tried the upgrade.. it worked.. then two weeks later.. it happened again. It said she could upgrade.. She ended up upgrading from a Lg something to a Nokia then to a Lg Shine, then to another Nokia, then to a LG smartphone, which she hated, then to a LG Vu. now, I know this is not an iPhone, but the fact is, she upgraded 5 times in less than 3 months. It does not say she can upgrade again, but at&t never made her pay for the phones and they never extended her contract longer than 2 years. She was not upgrading to sell them (she actually still has all of them other than the one my sister is using) but she just couldn't find the one she liked. the second time she upgraded it was an accident.. she thought it was gonna just swap her out.. then she figured it out.. Now she just has backups like crazy..

Do not criticize me for it, don't tell me smart remarks about how she should send them back.. Im not her, and I don't control what she does.. but really and truly.. At&t screws millions daily with mystery charges.. so I am sure they are not hurting..
 
hi guys, just a little update! Well, I just got my att bill and no $18 upgrade fee was assessed to my bill! Out of curiosity I logged on to apple.com just to see what my upgrade status was and it says I'm upgrade eligible AGAIN for the iphone 3GS at the subsidized price! This is the 3rd time I am eligible on my same line in a one month period!:confused:

You are very lucky!
 
I checked on Apple.com and it said I was eligible for the semi-subsidized pricing.

($299/$399/$499, respectively).

I pre-ordered my 3GS through Apple, and received it on Launch Day.

It's going to come back to bite you in the butt. Might not happen right away but it will happen.
