The process only requires that you (or someone you hire) is not active with AT & T. They want to know the steps? Read on to find out.

Update: Our links have been updated to take advantage of a coupon for $ 50 that offers AT & T on PDA-phones. The procedure is the same as before, but now the thing is even better than ever!

First, why do that?

Several reasons, really.

You can be a hacker's iPhone, with interest an iPhone 3G, you can not get the contract. This is the best way to do a hundred dollars.

Two, if you have an original iPhone contract, this method of restoring the nets of a 3G iPhone without a contract.

Three, you can buy for use with another company. While the iPhone 3G will undoubtedly be locked to AT & T in the output, hackers will probably begin working to unlock the device for use in other media.

Four, you can pay at the AT & T in advance. Although we can not guarantee that the 3G iPhone will work on GoPhone plans, there are indications that it will.

Five, which has an iPod touch, making the latest cell phone, too. It is also inexpensive, and leaves open the door to register at the end of a service.

This is what you need for this process:

1) A person with no assets of AT & T changes.
2) A first-generation iPhone. Can be used.

We tested these instructions on the verge of buying the iPhone 3G. According to AT & T guidelines for the development of a 3G iPhone, there should be no problem with this guide.

Replay Apple negotiations with AT & T that have adopted a single law, someone with an iPhone in our name, right, the new iPhone 3G update, as if they were new customers. We use this as a loophole.

Step 1: Setting up a new account with AT & T.

The first step is to register as a new customer, but not with an iPhone. Instead, you must apply online through this link (which takes you to AT & T online store) and get your free postal discount. We emphasize that saving the link above and not the order of a third party, for reasons that complicate the use of this guide (but trust us, to live with the link above.)

Update: Now you can be very, very necessary to use this link. It gives you a $ 50 discount when ordering.

We recommend the purchase of a new AT & T Tilt phone you choose. This is a good phone, as it reduces considerably, and no discount. More on this later.

When the phone arrives, is the new service, which is created with the phone. Make a test call.

Step 2: Activate the first generation iPhone.

Take the first generation iPhone and enable.

(If using an iPhone, then ask to go to your nearest store AT & T and a new SIM card (it's free). Insert the new SIM card into your iPhone.)

Then connect the iPhone with iTunes. Follow the activation of iTunes and make sure that you select in updating mobile phones. iTunes then transfer the phone service you receive from AT & T ... iPhone in particular.

Step 3: Buy the iPhone 3G.

Well, the first generation iPhone in your account that has the right to update the iPhone 3G. From July 11 to wait only online, flash your iPhone to store representatives and out the door with the iPhone 3G for $ 199 (or $ 299 if you have selected the 16GB iPhone).

Step 4: Service termination. (Optional).

To do this, you must wait 30 days exactly. At the end of the last day of the first month, called AT & T and tell them you want to cancel the service. The best thing you can do after the local AT & T store opens in your region.

Why? From AT & T is a requirement imposed new iPhone in the first 30 days to cancel the service. Therefore, just wait until it is not possible, the iPhone 3G in 30 days ago. This saves you pay a second month of service.

You must pay a termination fee of $ 170 early ($ 175 less than $ 5 for the first month).

Step 5: eBay former AT & T and iPhone. (Also optional).

Please note that your AT & T, acquired before entering the first-generation iPhone? Well, to recover the cost of early termination charges and one month of service ... sell the first phone.

Now begins to make sense and proposed the HTC Tilt. First, it's cheap. Secondly, it is very popular. And thirdly ... It is easy to unlock! Unlocking a phone is raising $ 50 to $ 100 for the cost of a device such as the inclination to do so easily is just a bonus.

The absence of a rebate means you do not fit into the device for six months to get some of your money.

Finally, you can buy the first generation iPhone. Emissions and increase the value of eBay.

The result? The "gain" in the sale of two sub-contract for a price without invalidating the contract at eBay ETF and the first month of service. Of course, price-based eBay, which are variables ... we can not say for sure that you end up with a net cost of $ 199 for the iPhone 3G. However, it must be addressed.

Here's the math, if you ask:

AT & T Tilt Refurb price with 2 year contract - $ 99
Activation fee: - $ 36
One month of service: - $ 70
Early Termination Fee: - $ 170
iPhone 3G 8 GB: - $ 199
Total Cost: - $ 574

eBay value of AT & T Tilt Unlocked: ~ $ 380

$ 574 - $ 380 = $ 194 ... is less than the price of an iPhone 3G, and has no contract. You can then sell the iPhone 3G, or activate another line of service.

And, of course, is one thing.

We do not care that everything is kosher with AT & T in the politics of this guide will probably become very popular very quickly. It is possible that AT & T is a limitation of iPhone owners today to impose in order to establish an order to buy an iPhone 3G for $ 199 / $ 299.

However, it is unlikely that AT & T is like an advertisement retroactively. Then register for the service today and hurry up! It is unlikely that AT & T will continue in this area for people to activate the iPhone after 11

But what is it?

The most common answer we received is proof in this guide, "How do I do with my iPhone, which already has a contract with AT & T

Simple. Ask someone to ask for service with AT & T. You set your iPhone on your account, and then upgrade to the Tilt, iPhone, iPhone 3G. Legally, you give your iPhone to someone else for a week, and put your existing AT & T has another device (for example, this super-cheap phone your friend just AT & T).

We are not here to debate the ethics of the procedure, which has only been found to move, and they are all for ourselves. The idea is that people of all 3G iPhone PhoneNews.com use GoPhone Pick Your Plan accounts. This is something that is not compatible with the iPhone, but prohibits AT & T on iPhone 3G.

Note, however, that the iPhone 3G is the only device in the industry, which is not available without contract at all, and that anti-consumer practice at the beginning of something that does not consider acceptable. While the iPhone 3G is finally available without a contract (and probably also prepaid), we believe it is reasonable to prohibit such sales a day.
