OK I talked to a rep for ATT and they said that the retail would be $650 and that you could not pre order unless you are upgrading, adding a line, or getting new service. Now my question is this. What if I pay the ETF for my line I am currently on which is $245 and just add another line to my account for $199 before I pay the ETF. I'm not attached to my number so I think it would be a good idea.
I live in Houston so with tax outright I would pay $703 and some change.
If I did the add another line and cancel my current line it's $216 (199 plus tax) + 245 for the ETF which comes out to be 461 plus lets say my last cell phone bill from my current account makes it around $564 worst case.
I don't know why but that sounds like a win to me if I go that route. Really can it be that easy? Only thing I need to make sure of is if the phone is going to be $199 with a two year contract. What do you guys think?
