Just a quick FYI, the upgrade fee of $18 is NOT NEW. It has always been there for ANY phone you upgrade to. What happens is sometimes they waive it for you. ;)</p> I know this is an old article but… Just a quick FYI, the upgrade fee of $18 is NOT NEW. It has always been there for ANY phone you upgrade to.

just a few weeks ago, on june 10, 2008 my verizon contract expired and i deliberately went to an at & t store to ask what i should do….that i wanted the new iphone and they told me that i should take the temporary “free” phone until the new iphone was released and then i could trade it in for the iphone for the price it was advertised, $199.

now i am being told that i have to PAY TWICE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY to get my iphone! i NEVER would have signed up with at & t except for wanting an iphone and i wouldn’t have joined at+t one month ago if i knew that it would not make me eligible for a ‘discounted’ iphone!

this is tremendously unfair and when i complained to at & t they said there was NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT…that the price was LOCKED IN by apple!

however, as i’ve been telling my story i’ve heard other different stories from different people…some people are saying that they’ve been told that when ‘iphone fever’ dies down in a few weeks, they’ll be able to get the iphone for the advertised price….time will tell.

verizon has now been ‘courting me’ to come back and says that they have similar phones to the iphone for less money and will buy out my contract with at&t…tempting!

Okay, so not really; sounds good though. Anyways, I think the pricing is fair, as is the upgrade price. ATT has one objective, and that's getting people using their wireless service. If you're already using their service, they've crunched the numbers in their database, and decided they can treat you like crap for 2 years, and that you're still going to stay with them. iPhoners might be different though.</p> I’ve already taken my Xanax, thank you.

That is exactly what I did with my treo 750 but I did it on at&t website I told it I had a samsung sync and it offered me the mediamax at $20 a month then I just stuck my sim in my treo wich was a 3G device and it all worked out fine I ended up saving $20 a month. Once I find out if that is possible then I will get me an iPhone 3G</p> Ok so here’s the 1 million dollar question what happens if I buy the iPhone 3G activate it pay the $30 for the first month then decide I don’t like it and go back to my original iPhone reactivate it through iTunes and start paying the $20 a month with the text messages but then just switch the sim to the iPhone 3G?

They lower the price but change whats really going on behind the curtains so the audience still loves the magic, and they make just about the same amount of money.

From a business standpoint I recognize their intelligence.

But as consumer… I wish I had better options.

Making texting more is just too greedy.
