Hey all,
First, hello! This is my first post here (though I've been lurking for at least a couple of months).
Second, I searched the forum, but didn't find an answer to my question. Though I apologize in advance if I missed it.
Anyway, I've had the same phone since 2005 (yes, for real - a Nokia 6682) and have been with the carrier ever since (then Cingular). I've been excited about the prospects of getting a good Android device on AT&T for some time now, and with the Captivate release date finally nailed down, I'm thinking this is the one. Though if possible, I'd like to keep my current plan. I'm on the $39.99/mo voice package (450 + 5000night/weekends with unlimited in-network calling) and the $30/mo "Mobile Web Package" which includes unlimited data and texts. I've clicked through the upgrade process for my phone online a number of times, and it seems as though if I sign a new two year contract, I have to select a different plan (I'm pretty sure the $30 unlimited text/data plan is no longer available).
Is there a way to keep my current plan and upgrade my phone (that is, without buying the device straight out)?
Thanks!
