...seem to get mixed results.

I have an AT&T account now and I don't want to extend my contract. Is there anyway I can buy a iPhone and use it with my current plan (media net/ unlimited messaging) without signing up for two years?

Is this in anyway possible?

Thanks alot

nope. activation of any iphone requires a renewal of a 2 year plan.

You can keep your current phone plan as far as min., but will still need the $20 data plan and a new 2yr. contract.

Looks like no iPhone for me then.

Thanks for the information!

The $20/month is worth every penny. Everyone has to manage their own finances, but I would much rather cut out one happy hour of drinks/month than miss out on a month's worth of iPhone usage.

I just don't want to extend my contract. I like switching phones a lot and I don't want to be tied to anything, I try about 20+ phones a year and I like not having to do anything special for them, just buy the phone and pop in the sim and mess with internet/mms settings, done.

This has nothing to do with money, I don't even pay for my plan, its a company plan so the data would be $45 and I wouldn't pay for it, its just about the contract, I don't want to have to extend the contract if I don't have to.

Could I but the iPhone and still use the iPhone sim with other phones and switch like that?

Yeah, its a hobby of mine. I like cell phones.

So do people who buy the iPhone and unlock it for t-mobile have to activate for 2 years? Why can't I just do what they are doing and unlock it and use it?
