Question on AT&T/iPhone 4

Hi guys-

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question. My wife and I are on a Family Talk plan w/ 600 minutes. The way the bill is worked out is line #1 is $49.99/month and line #2 is $9.99/month. We both have iPhone 3GS's w/ $30 data plan (total = $129/month). We bought these phones last summer on the day they came available at the subsidized price.

With the iPhone 4 being released, I checked our eligibility and funny enough, only my wife's phone is available at the full subsidized price ($299 for the 32GB). My phone will only get the small discount at $499. On our bill, my wife's phone is considered the "master" phone number (i.e. the line that costs $49.99) so I'm assuming that's why she gets the full discount and not me. However I'm the techie of the family and want to upgrade my phone (she's perfectly happy with her 3GS).

I have a reservation for the 24th to pick up the 4G at the local Apple Store. My question to you guys: can I just bring in my phone and have them upgrade that instead of my wife's? Is there some trick/magic they can do to make that happen? Or should I just have them swap my wife's and then later take it to an AT&T store to swap the sim cards?

Sorry for the long post...any thoughts or advice? Thanks!!
 
You can swap at the time of purchase.The new IPhone has a mini SIM so they cannot be swapped like other AT&T phones..
Use your wife's upgrade for your phone number. It can be done if you do it at time of purchase.
 
That's am interesting question bc of the new sim card. As to doing it at the time of purchase.... Better do it at the apple store bc Att has a tendency not to be able to handle complicated things. Lol
