// How To Get The $100 Apple Credit Without Activating Your iPhone // // by Kase2 // // http://www.oldskoolphreak.com This is a guide on how you can get the $100 store credit Apple is currently offering to those customers who purchased the iPhone before the $200 price drop in September 07. We're you one of the first people to buy an iPhone for $600? Well what if you just bought an iPhone for the hell of it, like me, and never activated it with AT&T? Technically, your not supposed to be able to get the $100 store credit. But that's unfair, so we're going to show you how you may be able to get the $100 store credit! The only requirement is that you must still have your iPhone and know someone who currently has AT&T as their mobile provider! The credit is only available on the Apple website between September 13, 2007 and November 30, 2007, so you need to do it before then to. Your $100 store credit is good until....well, I'm not sure...but it's probably a while since it doesn't specify a date. * We take no responsibility for your actions if you follow this guide, as its for informational purposes only. * First off, I want to warn you that you may only get one shot at getting the store credit. If you enter a number that doesn't belong to an AT&T subscriber, then you may be out of luck!! So don't screw around with this form. The first step is to visit the $100 iPhone store credit form at: http://www.apple.com/iphone/storecredit/ Find somebody in the USA who has AT&T and get them to let you use their phone number. They don't have to have an iPhone! Just any old phone on AT&T should work. They're going to need to be able to receive a text message with a confirmation code that Apple/AT&T is going to send to their phone. Enter their 10 digit number into the form on the Apple site. Then enter your iPhone serial number, which can be found on your iPhone box, or in the Settings menu, under General > About > Serial Number. Press continue and wait for a text to be sent to their phone! Apple apparently isn't checking that the number entered is using an iPhone, so the person should receive a text message from a weird 4 digit number with the confirmation code that you need to enter on the next page. After you get the confirmation code you should be all set! Just enter the confirmation code on the last step of the Apple form and you should be given your $100 Apple store credit! While Apple and AT&T aren't currently checking the serial number/phone number to make sure the person is using an iPhone, they may check in the future! So once again use this trick at your own risk. It may stop working soon. If you purchased an iPhone before the price drop and can't get the $100 store credit, we felt your initial pain, until we discovered this method! Hope it makes your day like it made ours! Shoutz to my friend who helped me out with this. You know who you are! -Kase2 "The King of what? The King of sttttyyyylllleee!"
