I need help too
For the sake of not starting a new thread...
I won't only be new to the iphone, I'll be new to AT&T, and GSM. (I'm a long time Sprint/Palm customer.) And I could use some help.
So here's my scenario: I have my old Sprint number that I want to keep. My mom would also like to get an iphone. She gets a 25% discount from work, and we are going to get a family plan.
I was thinking minimum minutes, 2gb of data and 1500 texts for me, 200mb and 200 texts for her. Which, if I did my math right, comes out to $90 a month after her discount.
My questions...
1) She doesn't know how her work discount works, and I've never had to deal with that, so is that something we have to deal with as we're setting up the 2-year contract? (Do we have to bring information to the store/know certain information for the website as we pre-order?) Or do we go through the normal contract process and then deal with the work discount after?
2) Will I be able to go through an easy online pre-order process if I want to keep my old number? Or will we have to go to a store in person because of this?
3) If we have to go to a store... does that mean we'll have to wait in line before the stores open, cause they'll all be sold out? Or should we be ok just going there when it's more convenient? (It would be no problem if it was just me, but having to coordinate the two of us might be trickier.)
Any help is appreciated.
4) Edit: Where is the best place to get the mini (micro? I forget what it's called, but that I can look up easily) sim card that we need?
