It seems to me that from how it's worded in there you could just buy a phone at promotional pricing, then get the iPhone and your contract would just be the original 2 years.

There's really no drawback to trying this, if you check the online account thing and it says you have a 4 year contract, you can take your freebie phone back and have them cancel the extra 2 years.

theres no such thing as a four year contract the time will just start over

One thing I just wanted to add. You are not getting a discount if you pay 599 or 499 it is Full Price. So locking you in for 2 years is what will pay them back for the free phone you got before the iPhone (remember they also making 20 more a month).

But that is what the AT&T corp spokesperson said. He specifically said the 2yrs resets to when you activate the iPhone.
