Wanna know if you qualify for a discounted iPhone upgrade?

It should only take a minute or two for a text message to be returned
If you’re not sure whether or not you qualify for a discounted iPhone upgrade ($199 for 16gb, $299 for 32gb), just dial *639# and you’ll get a text message back from AT&T with the date you’ll be eligible! (Sorry non-U.S. people, you’ll have to contact your carrier to see if they offer a similar option)
I had no idea this could be done until talking to a friend who works for AT&T and it confirmed what I’d already been told by a customer service rep. And in case you hadn’t heard, AT&T recently changed the upgrade policy so that you “may” qualify if your average monthly bill is at least $99/month.
I, unfortunately, have to wait until December because I have no friends and hardly use any minutes, but if you have a life and actually use your iPhone to talk to people then your chances should be much better. :)
