I'd wait for Black Friday. If AT&T has similar deal as last year, you'll get an extra $100 - $150 off, for a total of $150 - $200 off with this coupon, still a really good deal.

Q: I chose to port my number from another carrier, will the number be ported over when I activate the phone or as soon as the phone is shipped?
A: Some users have reported the phone was activated as soon as it was shipped, while others reported it wasn't activated when they received it. Either way, once your phone is activated, your number will be ported over (you need to number to make calls, after all).

Q: I chose to port my number from another carrier, but I still have a few month left with that carrier before my contract is up! Will I be charged an ETF by the other carrier?
A: Please contact the carrier ASAP to see if you can keep your service even thought you have ported your number in order to avoid the ETF. Try asking for a new number from them. By default, porting your number from a carrier using automatically cancels your contract with them, so call ASAP and see if you can keep the contract until it is up.

Q: If I cancel the contract before the 30 day trial period ends, can I keep the phone?
A: No, you will be required to return the phone and any accessories you bought at a discount

Q: Can I call AT&T and request that my contract be canceled after the 30 day trial period ends, on the 31st day?
A: Maybe, some users have successfully requested this while other users have had the CSRs refuse.

Q: If I cancel the day after the 30 day trial period ends, will I be charged for the next month as well?
A: One user found this in the booklet he received with his order: "Except as provided below, monthly service and certain other charges are billed one month in advanced, and there is no proration of such charges if service is terminated on other than the last day of your billing cycle." Since billing cycles last one month or ~30-31 days, you should be able to cancel on the 31st day without paying for the next month.

Please note that typically you pay a prorated monthly fee from the date your phone was activated to the day of your first billing date (say you activated on Nov. 25 and your billing date is Dec. 3, they'll charge you a prorated fee for 8 days) in addition to your first full month's fee. Also, because of this prorated period, your 31st day of service will typically be well before the billing date at the end of your first month (31 days from Nov 25 is Dec 26, which is well before 1/3, the next billing date after your first full month).

Q: If for some reason I get charged the price without discount for the phone/accessories or simply don't want the phone/contract anymore and I decide to return them before the 30 day trial period ends, can I get a full refund?
A: If you return it within 3 days of your service activation, you will get a 100% full refund. After that, they will not refund you the $36 activation fee, the first monthly fee or the prorated fee from the date of service activation to your first billing date. This comes out to $36 ~$39.99 Prorated fee ~($39.99 / 30 * # Days to Billing Date) taxes; for many who activated service within the last couple days this comes out to about $80.

Q: If for some reason I get charged the price without discount for the phone/accessories AFTER the 30 day trial period, what do I do? Can I still get a refund?
A: Contact your Credit Card company and file a dispute/chargeback. Send them a copy of your receipt that displays the savings that you were offered and the total price they originally quoted you.
Technically, you can not get a refund after the 30 day trial period and in order to cancel your contract to avoid paying the montly fees, you'll have to pay the ETF. But technically, you can not be charged a different price than what you were offered, especially after the return period has expired; this is a form of bait and switch.
Be aware of the level of risk in involved: you may end up having to pay the subsidized price of the phone, you may have to return the phone or you may get to keep the phone at the quoted price. In my opinion, the latter is the most likely with the former being least likely. Also, in no way can they charge you for the unsubsidized price of the phone if the 30 day trial has ended, since you did sign a contract.
