Ok, I just called into AT&T's toll free sales number to ask some questions about getting the iPhone 3G and at the end of the call after she'd answered all of my questions the sales girl offered to set up my new AT&T lines for me right now. She said she could get the credit check out of the way and set up the account, port the phone numbers and send me some free phones via overnight delivery. She said that I could just not use those phones and then get the iPhones on Friday and have the SIMs switched over (or something like that, I'm not exactly sure how that would work). I must say, I find this idea very interesting and if it would work I'd probably do it. I'm worried though that by switching now I wouldn't get the regular price on the iPhone on Friday. She said it wouldn't matter because I'd be in the first 30 days of the account during which time you can take back your phone and get a different one for the same price as you'd pay as a new customer anyway.
What do you guys think? It sure would be nice to have all of the account setup done and out of the way before walking into the Apple Store on Friday. There's just this nagging feeling I've got that something would go wrong and everything could get seriously messed up.
