Here are some FAQ:
Q: Can I keep my unlimited data plan?
A: As long as you have it now, no one can take it away from you. Even if you move from Iphone to Blackberry to Android and back to Iphone again, you can always keep it!
Q. How can I keep my Unlimited Data plan?
A: Here is what you can tell an AT&T employee or third party retailer in different scenarios:
scenario 1:
I want to upgrade another line on my account, but want move the phone and keep the unlimited data on my current line:
Tell them to upgrade the line of your choice. Then tell them to swap that phone onto the line you want it on, and tell them to keep the unlimited data. Tell them to "change equipment" on the line you just upgraded and tell them to remove the data plan (so you dont get charged for an extra data plan you do not need).
Scenario 2:
I want to simply upgrade my line, which has unlimited data already:
Tell them to keep the unlimited data. If they tell you that you can't, Ask for a supervisor and tell them MarcMaiden will come and haunt you in your dreams if they dont let you keep your unlimited data.
Q: What is an early upgrade and how does it work?
A: If you use the term early upgrade, that actually means you want to upgrade to an "Iphone strictly" The term you are looking for is "Exception upgrade." (in AT&T lingo). As long as you are 6 months away from your upgrade, AT&T will allow you to do an exception upgrade which means instead of paying the full retail cost for the phone, you will pay the upgrade cost + $200. For example, you want to get the HTC Inspire, and you want to do an exception upgrade, the phone will be $100 (upgrade price) +$200 (for the exception upgrade). NOTE: This WILL extend your contract for 2 more years.

make sure that as soon as it give you menu options, just hit "0" twice to take you straight to an operator. It's much faster that way.
