And of that 1300 how much goes to paying the monthly bill?

what bill? all of it is plain profit.

You pay 1150 for yoru first 5,

then you pay 2150 for your 2nd 5 and you return them,

so your stuck with 5 iphones for $230 each. I sold them for $500 each. 2500 - 1150 = 1350 Profit.

And what about the family plans you just bought?

what about it, no minutes used and it was only open for 2-3 days. are they really going to charg eyou? nope.

Hmmm, so you can sell the first batch for over 230 each is what you mean?

nope, all of the workers at the apple stores around here already know whats up. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

your only cancelling 5 and your keeping the first 5 that you bought for $230 and you can do whatever you like with em. I was thinking about keeping one but why not sell it for $500 and go buy a used one for $300?

I'm missing what benefit there is from 'upgrading the lines to the new phones, and then returning the new phones'

 

[funkyab 10+ year member]

i think you get like a 30 day grace period or something, either way if you do it in 2 days you should be fine.

30 days or 30 minutes is the fcc policy.

Family plan= monthly bill

 

[mcsoul 10+ year member]

I could see doing this if they do not have your real name and address. Otherwise, please come back in a month and verify you still are not in collections.

Or something to that extent.

It's KINDA legal, but it's not. At all. If they catch on, you will go to jail. It's very likely. They will prosecute. Severely.

So what exactly do you upgrade your lines too? Is 430 full retail? How do the first phones still work?

 

[Echo42987 10+ year member]

the whole point of upgrading is so you can keep the original 5 phones at $230, which then also disconnects them from At&t. Then you return the 5 "upgraded" phones that you paid full retail for that have the phone numbers attached to them and then discontinue the family plan.
