We "qualified" officially though, so I can't help you know if the SSN trick will work. But, having worked in activations/sales for a few companies, I do know that you have the legal option to not consent to your SSN being used in the process of your credit being run for service.

about iPhone: I'm not sure where apple is headed with this device. I mean, their target audience is iPod users who want their device to do more, right? iPods already cost far too much (especially with the less-than-glamorous software). So when we're jacking the cost up another 200-or so bucks for a truly ingenious device, they lose a large portion of their already-empty-pocketed audience.

I haven't done a WHOLE bunch of research as to where apple is going with other networks, but I think we are all looking forward to the fiscal quarter when this gizmo sheds $80 of its cost and is networkable to verizon.]]>Mar 4th 2008 3:48PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/02/want-a-gophone-iphone-try-all-nines/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/02/want-a-gophone-iphone-try-all-nines/
Anyway, back to the point of this message, the reason I failed the credit check it becuase i have a FRAUD ALERT on all 3 credit buerau's. This gave me the option to 1. Try Activation again from the beginning. 2. Go into an AT&T store and have them run the credit check. Or finally 3. Activate this phone with AT&T GoPhone pay as you go service. If anyone wants a i-Go-Phone, then get a fraud alert, uses your REAL SSN#, and have fun paying way to much for service. ;)]]>Jul 11th 2007 12:00PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/02/want-a-gophone-iphone-try-all-nines/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/02/want-a-gophone-iphone-try-all-nines/
Many people ask if you could convert to contract plan in the future. Yes, you can. But the real question is, why? You're saving some money at the very least by not going on contract. What if a new Google Phone comes out on Verizon and you want to jump ship from apple/at&t? All are good reasons to go with the gophone.

I spent 12.5 hours of my time onphone and offline trying to get this to work, but an Apple Genius finally sat down with me and helped me out. Kudos to Nic at the Apple Store in Emeryville!

I had a long and painful process mainly beceause of the porting issue. If you try to port in a phone number (regardless of on contract or gophone) you
re going to run into problems. I did a writeup on my blog for anybody going through the same dilemma: http://jessicamah.com/blog/?p=126
