AT&T Customers: 4 Steps to Become Instantly Eligible for iPhone 3G
Current AT&T customers who don’t have a first generation iPhone, or who aren’t eligible for an upgrade, will have to pay an extra $200 to purchase an iPhone 3G. Sad, but true.
However, if you follow these simple instructions (instead of waiting until upgrade time rolls around, or impatiently throwing down an extra $200 for an unsubsidized iPhone) then you will be able to get yourself an iPhone 3G also.
All you need is a little help from a friend who already has an iPhone.
1. Grab a friend who already has a first generation iPhone.
2. Remove the SIM card from your friend’s iPhone and replace it with the one from your own phone.
3. Plug the iPhone into a Mac or PC running a recent copy of iTunes. (iTunes will recognize that the iPhone is loaded with a different SIM and begin the activation process.)
Note: You’ll literally need to sign up for an iPhone plan at this point, sign a new two-year contract… etc
4. When you’re done, you can return your friend’s SIM to the iPhone and your SIM to your phone.
Simple, eh? Word of this has been spreading all over the internet. Steve Jobs may reach his goal after all.
