So all folks on original iPhone from back in the day are ALWAYS eligible for the new iPhone at the subsidized price of 199/299. If you are not currently with AT&T, you are eligible for the 199/299 price also.

So, the big question is, if you were CURRENTLY with ATT and NOT eligible, would activating an original iPhone on it NOW put you into the eligibility status?

I've a friend who was forced (dropped his old phone) to get a new phone about two months ago and is in a new contract where ATT subsidized his current nokia phone. So now that the iPhone 3G is out, he's not eligible for the 199/299 pricing. If we connect an original iPhone to his account, will it work?
