so i've figured out a big loophole in at&t's system of their subsidized iPhone 3g, but I MUST buy a new phone and start a new AT&T contract by the end of today to get it to work.

I need to know if any one can come up with a really good phone to flip; with the best initial cost to resale price ratio. walmart seems to have the LG Vu for only $100 and they seem to be going on ebay w/o contract for around $300. I would buy a refurbished tilt from the att website, but i need to be able to walk into a store and buy this thing tomorrow to make sure this works w/o a hitch

Basically I'll be selling the first at&t phone on ebay or craigslist, immediately upon activating the first phone turn around and use my current iPhone i'm using w/ t-mobile to convert my at&t account to an iPhone account and just canceling service after 30 days and I figure I can get the phone at around $250 and the throw it on a gophone unlimited 3g data plan. worse case scenario at&t busts me for doing this after a month or two and tries to get me to come onto at&t post paid which i'm still willing to do cause I'll have no contract
 
as will i, and probably spend a good deal less overall for the phone and service over the life of the device


true, 30 days is the policy. so i will keep my contract until then and cancel on the 30th day
 
FYI it will not work(at least not for much longer)

I have a friend who works for ATT. They are goign to roll out a new "feature" that is going to allow ATT to tell what phone is truly on your account(basically see what phone your SIM card is in) If you have an Iphone and are not paying for the iPhone data plan then you are going to get hit with per kb usage as if you did not have a data plan at all.
 
Hmm, I'm using a 3g smart phone (8525) and I only have the media max for $20/month. (unlimited Internet and 200 txts). My account does not show what phone I am using since I have purchased my last 3 phones outside of a contract.

If this is true I'm probably going to get the hammer for not having a smart phone data plan, and I mightaswhale upgrade to the Iphone plan.
 
For now wait, my buddy will warn me when they are about to release that application(cause I have a smart phone with mediamax as well )

This guy did something similar, but he flipped the old iphone for the new one, with a prepaid gophone as the buffer. I don't know if that helps you.
