AT&T listens to customers, grants best upgrade pricing to many iPhone 3G owners

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Corporate News, Handhelds, Videos

We have got to hand it to , as they’ve continued to impress us during this pre-launch period. Remember when we told you that iPhone 3G owners would pay a premium for iPhone 3G S at launch? Well there was a backlash on Twitter, Facebook, and just about every other social network you can think of, with iPhone 3G owners demanding that AT&T rethink their upgrade policy for these early adopters. It meant a difference of $200.

Of course, we figured that AT&T would ignore all of this, as iPhone 3G owners are under a contract that they agreed to, and AT&T wasn’t doing anything but making them live up to those contract terms. However, AT&T has pretty much done the unthinkable, and is allowing iPhone 3G customer who are eligible for an early upgrade in July, August, or September to get the best pricing on the iPhone 3G S. In other words, if you bought an iPhone 3G last July, August, or September, you can pick up an iPhone 3G S for the $199/299 pricing model, rather than the $399/499 price that you are supposed to be paying.

Kudos, AT&T.

“...if you bought an iPhone 3G last July, August, or September, you can pick up an iPhone 3G S for the $199/299 pricing model, rather than the $399/499 price…”

I don’t think that’s true. I bought my phone on launch day, and I’m not eligible for upgrade pricing till MARCH 2010!

I think it’s all a bunch of bull. They are ripping us all off. I bought my phone last August and I’m not eligible until until January 2010! They say that it’s determined off of how much the monthly bill is- so if I pay $100 a month that means that I’d “pay off” my phone by last December. WTF AT&T? I hope you fail.
