You *DON'T* need a contract to buy an iPhone!

Both Apple and AT+T are advertising 2 year contracts for the iPhone. What some customers with poor credit are discovering, however, is that you can get a contract-free iPhone if you ask the right way! Suddenly, the iPhone becomes a possibility for me. Hmm...

Because to those with BAD CREDIT, WORSE CREDIT, OR NO CREDIT AT ALL!!! AT+T was offering buyers a slightly more expensive month-by-month payment plan with no strings on cancellation. To activate the iPhone, AT+T provided these customers with a special code to enter during iTunes setup, bypassing the standard subscription selection.

Very, very interesting. I was burned badly enough by Cingular in the past that I will not tether myself to them with a 2 year contract. But if I could go month-by-month, I might be willing to take the risk since I doubt there would be a problem reselling an iPhone on eBay.
