Upgrading to 3Gs I paid full price for 3G one year ago

I'm not sure I understand what the cost of upgrading would be for me. I paid the full price for the iPhone 3G last June because I was not eligible for an upgrade at that time. (I had a WiMo phone then)I did have to sign a new contract with the phone.
My accounts says I am eligible for an iPhone upgrade on the 13th of June, but I don't know if this will mean a mid year contract price or not since I did not get a subsidized phone price last year.

Because AT&T is the exclusive cellular provider for the iPhone in the U.S., and because of the subsidy you were provided for the phone you were using prior to purchasing the iPhone 3G.
Before the iPhone 3GS was announced, AT&T's prices were as follows:
The subsidized price for the 8GB iPhone 3G was $199, and for the 16GB, $299.
The non-subsidized price for the 8GB iPhone 3G was $399, and for the 16GB, $499.
AT&T's no-contract price for the 8GB iPhone 3G is $599, and for the 16GB, $699.
Both of these price options required a two year contract. This price was/is for existing subscribers who don't qualify for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price with a new phone. This ensures that AT&T recoups the subsidy they provided you for the phone you were using prior to purchasing the iPhone, but you will qualify for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price with a new phone much earlier in the new contract term.
When you purchase the iPhone 3GS at AT&T's subsidized or discounted price, the same will apply if your iPhone 3GS is lost or stolen and you want to purchase a new iPhone 3GS before you qualify again for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price with a new phone.
Next year at this time when Apple releases a new iPhone model, more than likely you will not qualify for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the new iPhone or for any new phone at that time.

  • 5 days ago I bought a 13" mac book air from an apple store.  It does NOT have Maverick on it!  I paid full price for it but since it has the old operating system-.I kind of feel like I purchased a "clearance" item but payed full price!  any advice?

    5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store.  It does not have Maverick on it!  I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it!  Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc.  This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest.  I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences?  Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't?  Thanks.

    There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
    Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
    You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
    There is no difference other than a 40 min. download.

    Thanks Winston, thats the first thing I wanted to do but I dont see any Annual Plan (like I had), only monthly plans, and they said that as I got a Storage Plan before September 2014 I would be "automatically" updgraded to a new annual plan with reduced pricing. Dont know how I can get it now.

  • Why did my contract restart after I paid FULL price for a phone

    A while back I added a line to my account for my son, I gave him one of my old Smart phones, galaxy S-III, I have never used an upgrade on that line ever. I Just pre-ordered the Samsung Edge, Paid FULL price on Verizon web site. I just looked and I seem to have a new 2 year contract on a line that didn't have ANY contract. Can any one explain this to me? If I cant pre-order a phone or buy a phone on the Verizon web site with out getting locked into a new 2 year contract then i'll order phone's else where.

    Contact customer service. They can see the history of your line and see that the same device ID from your line is the one on your sons line. They will have a record of exactly how the transaction of the order was done online, including the amount paid at that time. they should be able to cancel the contract if you paid the $800 up front

  • I paid full price for my unlocked phone to be able to use it when I travel overseas. Now I'm in Indonesia and I can't use my phone with local sim card. Why?

    As above.  This is really starting to **** me off.

    Perhaps you didn't a actually buy an "unlocked" iPhone, you just bought one "without contract" - they are both "full price".
    Where did you buy it?

  • I bought an iphone 5s from the apple store and paid full price for it. (tmobile) and its LOCKED. how can i unlock it?

    this is outrageous. I bought a tmobile iphone from the store to use with my att (i didnt want a 2 year contract) and it ends up my sim cant be used. I paid 800 dollars for a phone i cant use? how am i supposed to fix this. please dont ask me to take it to a att store or apple store because i live nowhere near one. Also it even described the iphone 5s being unlocked.

    Buying an off-contract phone does not guarantee that it will be an unlocked iPhone.  You need to explicitly request it to be an unlocked iPhone when you purchase it.
    As KiltedTim suggests, try returning it to the store where you purchased it in exchange for an unlocked iPhone.  If that is not possible, you can try contactign T-Mobile to see what their policy for unlocking iPhones is, they may do that for you (but they may charge a fee too).

  • I paid full price for an outdated Imac. Anything I can do?

         I bought an Imac almost a month ago from a certified Apple retailer (connecting point), and it turns out they had outdated machines on their shelves. I paid the full 1200 dollars for the base model thinking that I would be buying the upgraded Imac (quadcore i5, updated graphics, etc), but it turns out that was not the case. I ended up walking out of their with the old Imac and not even realizing it until I got home and checked the specs. Everyone has refused to let me return it or do anything for me, including Apple Support. What can I do?

    This is a problem you need to resolve with the vendor.  Normally returns for replacements only apply within 14 days after purchase.

  • New mail when opened shows different mail for over one year ago!!

    When a new message arrives, opening it shows a message from over one year ago! I even forwarded a corrupted message to another account and it was the same old message. However, on MobileMe and my IPhone, the new message is correct.
    What's going on?

  • I bought my software pack iWork 2008 at the apple retail store and I cannot get any updates and apple App Store won't help me.   Does any one know how I can get the upgrade without paying full price for a second time? I paid $99 for the iWork family pcan'

    I cannot believe that apple is refusing to help a customer who bought and paid for iWork software just because I bought it from the retail store the App Store says they cannot allow me to upgrade.  I have never heard of such.  It should to matter where I got it i bought apples software and I don't et how the retail store can be different frothe App Store my god its all still apple.  So stupid.  I will not pay full price for the upgrade.   Also I purchased Logic Studio and 2 days later the upgrade came out and they will not let u upgrade ?  I think there should be at Least a 30-45 day window if u purchase software and they release the upgrade u should get not.    It's not like apple doesn't make enough money already.  

    iWork '08 & 09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. Those installations will not be recognized as installed by the Mac App Store. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
    But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '08 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08. If it doesn't have the '08 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    If you are running Pages 3.0.3, then you do have the latest version of Pages from iWork '08. If you want to upgrade to iWork '09, you will need to purchase the new version, just like everyone else. The good news is that you can buy just the individual iWork apps - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - that you need or want for $20 US each from the Mac App Store & then install them on as many Macs as you need using the same Apple ID.

  • I got logic pro and i was wondering if possible paying a little less for an upgrade!! or do i have to pay the full price for the pro x?!!!

    I got logic pro and i was wondering if possible paying a little less for an upgrade!! or do i have to pay the full price for the pro x?!!!
    Or if apple would work around this some way or another?

    If you bought Logic 9 less than a month ago then Apple will most likely refund you so that you can buy Logic X instead.
    The full (only) price of Logic X is as staed on the App Store. This price (whether people agree or disagree, like it or not like it) is still less than any upgrade price for any other DAW.
    A lot of people here are saying they bought Logic 9 6 months or a year ago and want a cheaper price. For me, I started on Logic 5.5. Logic 6, you could pay an upgrade price that was way over what the full app is now but you had to add costs as things like Space Designer were extra. Their serial numbers, once purchased, got added to you XS Key, which was a dongle that never got hacked in 6 and a half years.
    Apple, on acquiring Emagic, dropped the price from $1000 to $499, included all the things you had to pay extra for then dropped the price to what it is now once they went over to the App Store. They also dropped the un-cracked dongle.
    So myself and a lot of other people here went 5.5 to 6 (added the goodies that were extra) to 7 to 8 and to 9. When there was an upgrade price, the price was around what the app is now.
    I'm amazed at how many people see this as a full price and want money off whereas in reality a complete piece of softwaser is being offered for an upgrade price.
    My first paragraph will answer your question and you probably won't care about the rest of the post. $199 or £139 IS an upgrade price.
