For those of you that have one already, would you get it again? Is it worth it?

It's worth a try but I highly doubt it. iPhone is their #1 phone and Apple sucks a substantial sum from every iPhone sale and contract.


I think your best bet is to claim your current phone stopped working and that you need a new one.

Would I need to prove to them that it doesn't work? Should I break it? LOL

Don't break it cause if they tell you to take a hike you ain't got no phone...just say it shuts down on its own and hangs at times. If they say lets see it you're cool because it happens some of the time and right now it ain't happening. All of this of course depends on your ability to lie without looking like a liar.

I so want to make a reference here, but lest we go down the swine flu path...
separately,
I once was on a pier, lighting 4th of july fireworks for my kids when my cell phone jumped out of my hand and flopped into the water (This is true, i swear). Frustrated I called and said what do i have to do to prove it (the water was to deep and mucky to have any hope of finding it). They ran a test on their end that showed the phone was useless, and I had to swear on a recorded statement that it was lost in the river. Then I could get warranty treatment. That was with Sprint several years ago. Doubt it would make a difference nowadays.

No don't even go to that extreme. Phone companys are the biggest lay downs in the sales world. eligible or not you can get them to upgrade for you. They'll put up a fight at first but if you threaten to go to another carrier and pay you early termination they'll hook it up for you. Enjoy the phone

This is very true. When I was with US Cellular they would do anything possible to keep me happy when I complained about my bills. (Even though it was usually my fault for going over.) I with AT&T now and have an Iphone 3G and absolutely love it. I cant see myself ever going back to a regular phone. If you haven't messed around with one yet I'd recommend going to a local Best Buy or AT&T store and play with one for a while.
