I'm not eligible for an upgrade for many months....many months.
Just for the heck of it, I went to Amazon and went through the whole purchase process indicating I am an existing customer...providing all info to "verify" I am eligible for an upgrade and it went through all the way to the purchase screen indicating a price of $199.
I chickened-out at that point. Will this really work and I can get the phone on my current account, and only that account? Or, is it giving me a new account and, thus, doubling my monthly expenses? I can't believe I can get around the eligible upgrade process this easily.
I just did the same thing. I'm not up until Jan 2011. Does it work??
