Thanks for your SPAM comment which has nothing to do with this story at all!
When the heck is AT&T going to sell this phone sans contract?
Graham Miller said 8:22AM on 12-27-2008
WAIT, is the unattached iphone out yet, if so is it the same as the unlocked ones in other countries? And if I buy this refurb offline will they make me commit to a contract^? I have the first gen already, and i'd like to just activate a refurbed 3g with pwnage..

Just ordered. For some reason, you can't upgrade a line with AT&T to an iPhone, but you can add an iPhone to your account as a new line.

Called apple care yesterday to ask if the refurbs are covered under Apple Care...was told they are. ATT store "poo-poo'd" refurbs saying they have short warrenty...with apple care doesnt really matter. Right?

I'll just c&p what I said earlier this month: "I really like the iPhone, but the TCO is far too high to justify the purchase, no matter what kind of discounts they give at the register. I don't care if the handset comes free in a box of Cracker Jack. That's the least part of the overall cost of the phone. What I want is a lower monthly bill. Right now my wife and I have a pair of Motorola RAZRs and the bill for BOTH phones together is $70 a month. That's the same as the cost of one iPhone. That's the price which needs to come down (a LOT - at least 25%) before I consider buying an iPhone. $1,680 over a period of 24 months for a single phone...no, I'm sorry. It's just too much."

Simon, you also don't have an unlimited 3G data plan. The plan price has nothing to do with the iPhone. That's the price you pay for a 3G data plan you for ANY phone under ANY carrier in the US--In fact it would cost you the same to have your 2 Razr's have a data plan! (Please, no Sprint SERO comments.)

My girl and I actually have 2g iphones on tmobile, and our bill for both w/ unlimited data, 400 sms and 1000mins to split costs a total of 80-85. I know it's not 3g, but I don't care; 3g isn't wifi, and I'm rarely ever outside a zone w/ wifi.
Screw att, i'm set with tmo.

Damn. If only there was a way to buy this without the contract.
I've been watching eBay etc for a used one at twice that. When I find one, Apple/At&t will get 0% of that $200. If they'd just sell one sans contract, they'd be getting 100% of my $200. C'mon Apple.

The article fails to mention that AT&T refurbs, unlike Apple refurbs, come with only a 90 day warranty.

I just got off the phone with AT&T I was told only new customers can take advantage of this deal.

this confirms my own suspicion although neither the store guy, customer service or sales people I talked to were able to confirm that to me.

hmm... about that Wal-Mart NOT selling the iphone, check this out http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10129108-17.html

Juan I think the article is referring to the rumor about a $99 dollar iPhone at Wal-Mart, not Wal-mart offering iPhones in general.

So, I've heard that there's an app for Jailbroken iPhones that limits their internet usage. I personally have a regular Samsung AT&T 3G phone with no data plan, so any internet usage is absurdly expensive (1 cent per Kb = $2 each time it checks visual voicemail). I do not want the phone using mobile internet unless it is from a wifi hotspot. Does this app work on the latest iPhone so that it will not use 3G or EDGE under any circumstances? I really just want an iPhone for apps and convergence, and I like that this is over $100 less than the iPod Touch. I'm assuming another AT&T phone does not need any sort of cracks on the iPhone to use the SIM card.
Also, can I get visual voicemail on this phone without the iPhone plan? As in, will it check for visual voicemails when it gets internet via a Wifi hotspot? I cannot see paying $30 a month for a data plan, but I'd like to save over $100 on an iPod Touch that's also a cooler looking phone.

Err, looking at it, seems they won't sell it (at least online) without ordering a plan online. I thought it was going to be "activate it via iTunes."
lux said 5:58PM on 12-27-2008
So unlike Apple who has an Excellent Warranty on Refurbs these only have a 90 day? if true Not worth a $50 savings.

sjtm said 8:18PM on 12-27-2008
are you sure that Apple Care won't cover ATT refurbs? That is not what the apple care guy told me...I specifically told him it was an ATT refurb and he said it would be covered. Or are you referring to warranty only and not Apple Care?
lux said 8:42PM on 12-27-2008
No I and Asking if this is so As I Emailed this article to a few people and dont want them, to go in thinking its got the excellent Apple Warranty if it doesnt
