Surprisingly easy too. My father, who in theory, is on the same contract & plan as I am, was told to do all sorts of silly things to get an iPhone, and he’s looking at $480 for an 8GB unit, given his account.

I, on the other hand, have a plan that’s $18/mo… because it’s less than $30/mo – there’s a surcharge on the purchase-price of the iPhone 16GB (Black) for me.

Are you ready for this?

Instead of paying $299+txs, I have to $324+txs.

Right.

On a 3 year contract, because I’m $12 below the “standard offers”, I have to pay an extra $0.75/mo.

Makes no sense to me, but at least I can handle that.

It should arrive within 3-5 biz days… hopefully before I leave for Calgary!!!
