Buying iPhone w/ family plan on AT

I am under family plan with one other person with contract that is way over two years already. I can get new iPhone 4 for 200 dollar with contract renewal but before I that I have a question. Since I'm the only one that has iPhone and other person doesn't, if I get iPhone now can the other person get another iPhone at 200, making it two iPhone under the family plan? Of course I'm aware of new data charge. I have unlimited data right now and i want to get iPhone 4 now until 'new iphone' comes out in the future and have other person get the new iPhone when available and switch so that I use new iPhone. Let me know if this is possible

"if I get iPhone now can the other person get another iPhone at 200,"
If they are eligible for upgrade pricing, then yes.
If they are not, then no.

  • Trying to get iPhone with Family Plan.

    I currently am on a family plan, and would like to get the new iPhone, if I add another line and get the iPhone will I be able to change the iPhone to another line on the Family Plan that already has the data and text packages already on it and then just use an old phone on that line that does not require a data package and just pay the $10 a month?

    Why was I under the impression that you had to buy a data plan when you add a line with a smartphone?  I too have a family share plan and if I were to add a line to the plan, I could do so for $10/month but I'd have to get a basic phone otherwise to get a smartphone it would be $10/month + Data plan for that line... That's not the case?
    I am not following here. You may have been "under the impression that you had to buy a data plan when you add a line with a smartphone" because you do have to buy a data plan when you add a line with a smartphone. Furthermore, you have to keep the data plan as long as the smartphone is active on that line. If you activate a basic phone on that line at some point in the future, you can cancel the data plan as you will no longer have a smartphone on that line.
    So yes, if you get a smartphone on a new line, the cost for that line will be $10/month + the cost of the data plan.
    If you are only adding the new line just to get a smartphone which you can then switch to another line, you can cancel the data plan on the NEW line after the smartphone is switched to the other line because the new line will no longer have a smartphone active on it. The cost for the new line will then be $10/month.

  • Add an iphone initiate family plan

    I have iphone and on an individual plan with att. I recently purchased an iphone for my husband. He will have to switch from another provider. I now want to switch to family plan. Any idea how to do this? What is definition of 'family'? Can there be different last names and addresses? I already know about the shared area code restriction.

    Vijaya, Family plan is a bunch of phone lines on one account, doesn't matter what last names the individual phone user have. you can have anybodies phone listed in your family plan unless they are in the same network.i think family plan for 2 lines is 79.99 which i have with my wife.

  • How many iphones I can buy the contract price by using family plan?

    The apple.com only allows me to buy one iphone.
    if I choose a sprint family plan, can I buy more than one iphone by contract price?
    Can I buy them on apple.com or I need to go to a sprint retail?

    I believe Apple's limit is 2 phones per purchase, at least during the first few weeks of a release.  That's not to say you could not do 2 purchases of 2 phones.
    How many lines to do you have elligible for upgrade?

  • Switching to AT&T with family plan -- need multiple iPhone 4's

    We are currently Verizon customers coming to AT&T for the iPhone 4. We want to get three iPhone 4's, along with another regular phone, and put them on a family plan. My son lives 4 hours away, and won't be able to come to the local AT&T store on June 24 to get a phone.
    Because of the limit of one per customer, can my husband and I each pre-order a phone and then still buy an additional iPhone 4 for my son at the AT&T store on June 24?
    Could my son pre-order an iPhone 4 and have it shipped to my address for me to have activated with the other phones? He is not planning to transfer his number, the rest of us on the plan are.
    Since he's not porting his old number, could he pre-order and have the phone shipped to him and then add it to our family plan once we've activated our new phones? Or do all the phones on the plan have to be activated at the same time and place?
    Any information would be appreciated -- thanks!

    AT&T has a whole upgrade and new account guide on its website. Looks like new accounts can order one per person in line but only one per account online. Existing accounts can order one new iPhone per line (numbers with AT&T accounts). Nothing has been released about Apple's pre order policy.

  • Using iPhone with family ATT plan

    Hello all.
    So I think I'm going to buy an iPhone today, but is there any way to use it with my family ATT plan? Can I just like put the SIM card in or do I have to have a specific plan just for me and the iPhone?
    Thanks a lot

    I have my Iphone on a a family plan but as with all cell planes the individual phones have thier own 2yr contracts. I actually got the Iphone after I got the other phone and then swithched to family plan. so the first phone will run out before the iphone. Also, Just some FYI. Im thinking about switching the numbers between phones which you can do with the Iphone and reactivate the Iphone with the new sim card and it will not effect you plan with the Iphone but if you put a new sim card in the other phone which is a ATT phone I will need to start a neew plan. So basically Im saying that the Iphone contracts have some diffences that you might want to make yourself aware of that very from the ATT phone plan. Also keep in mind that the Iphone has a nuilt in battery and that has a life limmit depending on charges so cell phones really only last for a couple of years under normal use. Depnding on how much you charge.

  • More questions about iphone family plan - second line regular phone

    I am planning to switch from a verizon family plan(2 phones) to att family plan with 1 3g iphone and one regular phone.
    I will get the iphone and my wife won't
    what is the best free phone to get from att ?
    and how can i do this in apple retail store? they don't sell other phones right?
    don't want to go to att store because they usually out of stock of iphone...

    I would say your best bet is to go to an apple store and buy your iphone. Apple stores do not carry any other AT&T phones, and AT&T stores do not have many free phones. Once you buy your phone register online with AT&T and add a line there, they have tons of free phones online and ship second day air.

  • Help! Trying to start a family plan with 3 lines and 2 iphones

    Help!
    I am a new customer trying to start a family plan with 3 lines.  I only want 2 iphones.  However, when I get into the "select phones" screen, it dosen't allow me to choose an iphone. 
    When I click on the iphone it takes me to a completely different part of the website where it only allows me to buy individual plans for each iphone.
    Help!  Thanks!

    I am having the same problem but only want 2 lines and 1 iPhone.  But for you I think you can order the 2 iPhones and checkout and then just add another line.  I am not sure but what I got from other people is that would work.

  • Iphone with existing unlimited texting family plan

    Hi, I just got an iPhone today butt ATT has given me two different answers about my question:
    I am on a family plan with 3 other family members. We have the 30 dollar unlimited text messaging that covers everyone. I was told by two people at ATT that if I picked the 20 dollar data pack for my iphone, even though it says I'll only get 200 sms texts a month, since we have unlimited texting on the family plan, the unlimited texting will override the 200 texts a month that the iphone offers.
    I was also told by one person that this is not correct.. that the 20 dollars of 200 texts message will replace the unlimited texting (for only my line) that my family has.
    ATT is closed right now so if anyone could give me some feedback asap I would be very happy! Thanks!

    Yea, but isn't the data plan for the iPhone, iPhone specific. You know, so we can get our visual voicemail and things like that. I mean if it wasn't that way, then why would they make you have to buy it. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.
    Ok, so you have unlimited testing for all the lines on your plan. Ok I got a little confused then, sorry about the date refrences.. I think though that what your saying about the number of texts will be correct. The rest of the lines on your plan will still have unlimited texts, but you'll be reduced to the 200 limit. You'll not have the Unlimited data as well, which is good if you surf the net a lot of the iPhone.

  • IPhone Family Plan Question?

    I was wondering if I am a new AT&T wireless customer and I have 1 iPhone but I want to buy the $80 Family Talk Plan were do I choose that on iTunes?
    The only one it could maybe be is the "Activate two or more iPhones on an Individual or Family Plan" But I only have 1 iPhone and I want my other line to be a normal AT&T phone. Any Suggestions?
    iMac bondie blue + PB 12' 1GHz + mac mini intel + MacBook 2.0GHz Black   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    But once you do that don't you pay $10 more because your an existing AT&T customer? so the plan comes out to $90 instead of $80

  • Not Allowed to upgrade to Family Plan and get Iphone?

    I have a single line right now, and I attempted to go through my account and "upgrade to a family plan," but when I get to the page where you select the new phone for your second line.  The Iphone is nowhere to be found!  It allows me to process any other phone with the upgrade to a Family Plan, except the Iphone.  When you click the link on the front page to "buy it" it takes you to a whole new set up that only allows you to add an additional line, but no option to add it to a family plan.  Is verizon not allowing upgrades to family plans and adding a line with the Iphone?  Or will I have to brave the store lines to get this done?

    I would go to a store, I think it's just where they have the iphone in a link by itself right now instead of with all the other phones, I would almost be sure you can do this in store without a problem at all. Some people are saying there are actually no lines at stores they've been at so you may get lucky and not have a line at your local verizon store.

  • HT4528 If I want to go get a new iPhone at the apple store. Does the head person of my family plan have to come with me?

    Hey I want to get a new iPhone because my is all messed up. I have warranty and I know I have to pay a $100 dollars for a new one. But I want to go by myself because my mom is always busy. But she is the head of my family plan. Does she have to go with me? Also I have a black iPhone, but if I buy a new phone could I chose the white iPhone?

    Call them and ask.
    Call your carrier and ask.
    This isn't really a technical issue and as such is not appropriate for these forums.

  • Family Plan: 2 iPhones - 1 Computer

    I'm just about ready to buy my 2 iPhones (for me and my girlfriend), and I'm going for the family plan, plus unlimited texting for the both of us, which would be an additional $30, if I'm correct.
    What I'm thinking about now is the activation. If it helps to answering my question, I own a 2nd generation Mid-end MacBook, my girlfriend a 1st generation iMac 17-inch. We don't live together.
    Okay, now my question is how the activation of two iPhones work through the Family Plan using one computer (my MacBook). I'm guessing I plug in both iPhones to my USB ports, occupying the only two that's there, and I just go through the whole process like normal? But, the thing is, how does the second iPhone get activated? I mean, will activating one iPhone with a Family Plan detect the other one that I have plugged in? Or do I have to activate them individually?
    o_0
    I'm sorry if I'm not making any sense. It's hard for me to explain. I'm want to get through this activation thing w/o any issues whatsoever so I can just go ahead and use them immediately. I really don't want to have to go back to the Apple store or AT&T to sort this out.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think this is going to work OK, considering what I've read above. But if you'd indulge me so I could clarify my understanding of this.
    I've had an iPhone for a couple of months now, and my son, who lives in another city, is getting his mom an iPhone for Mother's Day. I have the single-user AT&T plan, of course. If I understand the above correctly, in order to add the second iPhone to my account and change the account to a Family Plan, I would:
    • Dock the new iPhone to my computer, using my iTunes account.
    • At the appropriate prompt, select the option to add the new iPhone to an existing account.
    • Follow directions to convert that account to a Family Plan (according to whatever options I choose).
    • Let the iPhone activate, then check my AT&T Web page to make sure my wife's name appears as the primary user.
    Correct?
    I'll also need to add the ability for her iPhone to make calls to The Philippines, but I assume I'll do that by later calling AT&T and requesting that service.

  • From individual to family plan (one phone from Amazon wireless, the other an Iphone)

    Alright, stay with me here.
    My fiance and I are currently on separate family plans with our respective parents.  We are about to start our own plan together, but her family's contract ends a few months after mine.  
    I want to get the HTC incredible 2 from Amazon wireless.  I would have to start an individual plan because she's not ready to switch over. 
    She wants to get an Iphone, which you can't get through Amazon wireless.  We'd have to go to Verizon, best buy, etc.  
    Can we easily go from having me on an individual plan to a family plan?  And would she still get the rebate for the Iphone (making it only $200)?
    Thank you.

    Do you want to keep your current phone numbers?  If so, you will need to do an Assumption of Liability for each line to transfer them from their current account into your name.  It's a simple process, and free, you just call or visit a Verizon store with the current account owner and do the paperwork.  Verizon will do a credit check, and you may have to pay a deposit.
    If you do an AoL, your contract end date stays the same, and you keep your current number.  You could do an AoL now, upgrade your phone when it is eligible, and then move your wife's phone over whenever you're ready (with another AoL).  You don't have to wait for the contract to end.  Doing an AoL and starting a Family Share plan with the transferred line is also easy, they can probably take care of it for you at the same time.
    Each line on your plan will have its own contract, so if you want to upgrade at different times and/or at different places, you can do that.

  • What if my phone is on a family plan and I get the iphone

    Would I have to disconnect my extra line from the family plan if I get the iphone? what does the EMAIL & WEB -SMARTPHONE $29.99 included? How much data do I get to use a month before getting over charges? I have a internet wireless card that makes a hot spot does that mean I wouldn't need a internet package for the iphone?

    Would I have to disconnect my extra line from the family plan if I get the iphone? No, you can use an iPhone with your current line, but I'm not really sure what you're asking here.  Did you add an extra line to the Family Plan to buy the iPhone at the upgrade price? what does the EMAIL & WEB -SMARTPHONE $29.99 included? This includes unlimited 3G data access and Verizon's e-mail program, you can also use the e-mail program included with the iPhone, or a web-based interface. How much data do I get to use a month before getting over charges? The $29.99 package is truly unlimited, use as much data as you like! I have a internet wireless card that makes a hot spot does that mean I wouldn't need a internet package for the iphone? You CAN connect your iPhone via the hotspot over WiFi, but I don't think you would want to.  The data speed will probably be the same, and the package inlcuded with your iPhone is unlimited (where the hotspot has a limit).  Regardless, you MUST have the $29.99 package on any line the iPhone is active on.
