Bought 3GS on Launch Date? when will you be upgrade eligible?

[zizo79]

Hey Guys,
I bought my 3GS last year when it was launched and I just found out that I wont be upgrade eligible (@ discounted price) until 11/19/10 which will suck considering the fact that the new iPhone will be out between mid June and July.
Was anyone able to get AT&T to change the date to bbecome upgrade eligible? I pay over $160 on 2 iPhones ?

I was able to get my upgrade date changed, but that was because they had made a mistake when swapping numbers, but not plan. My line which is the second one wasn't available to upgrade till after my contract ended. Other than finding a mistake they make, I think you may be sol on that one.

You need not worry. As before, when the next iPhone is announced in a couple weeks AT&T will push your upgrade date up. Just be patient and you shall see.

How sure are you about this ?

@zizo79
it depends on your price plan. It's not guaranteed.

I do pay more than $100 on one line...plus I have another iPhone on my plan

I'd have to say that yes you will qualify on that line but probably not on the other line. There's always a chance they will be more lenient but we don't know for sure.

It seems AT&T has been more generous this year with upgrade rollbacks for most early 3GS adopters, but with my corp. discount on my line I'm still under $100 a month which means I will have to suck it up and pay top dollar for my upgrade again this year.

AAAHH...so this is probably why i dont qualify until October since im on a corporate plan as well.

Anyone think they will allow most people to upgrade to lock them in for another 2 years at the higher breach rate of $350 to keep them from going to Verizon in 2011?

I personally think they will allow most customers to upgrade at the $199 or $299 price points. But I could be very very wrong. We'll see what happens.

Well, I am hoping I get mine pushed to. I bought the iPhone on launch day last year and pay $100 a month usually, sometimes $98, so I am thinking I can get Rogers to push it either way.

I don't think you have too much to worry about with Rogers. They are pretty lenient. Last year my plan was about $90 average, I purchased my 3G on Jul 11th 2008, and I was allowed to upgrade.

I bought the 3gs on launch day, my upgrade date is November. Oh well, guess thats a good thing, it will stop me from doing anything impulsive

Same here but I want to have the option to upgrade...

 

[zizo79]

Damn AT&T wouldn't budge on that upgrade date ....

 

[ghostface147]

June 21st is my upgrade date. I bought mine on launch day 09.

I assume you are paying $100 min. on this line you will be upgrading ?

Ok, I hope so lol. I do not want to pay the full price. What was the upgrade price for the 3GS form 3G anyway. I couldn't find it.
