it gets activated at that time. However you can go to an AT&T center with the old sim card and they will transfer the info for you. -- nm - Remlik Dec 11, 15:39
Isn't there a massive swing in price when you get it with the multiyear contract or not? -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 11, 15:38 4
- I hadn't thought so. I thought you just bought the thing. -- nm - TFox Dec 11, 15:40 3
  - One doesn't simply "buy" an iPhone. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 11, 15:42 2

    - No, I guess not, huh? Although in looking, it appears they have an "iPhone gift card". -- (link) - TFox Dec 11, 15:44
