The deposit depends on your credit rating. Anytime you sign up for a post paid cell phone account, they run a credit check. IF your credit check comes back low, then you will probably have to pay a security deposit. It can be as high as $500 or as low as $200; it just depends on your credit rating.
IF you want to let at&t run the credit check in advance, just stop by and let them do that. They can give your a reference number after the credit check that you can use on the 11th to cut down on the amount of time it takes to buy your new iphone 3G.
Hope this helps.
