I have an iphone as a single line plan and my wife wants one now too. She is currently with verizon (which is a long story) but we will not be porting her # (at this time).

Anyway, I figure w/ the refurb deal running that's the way to go. So I went to the store and found out they don't do refurb phones there and I had to go online. No problem I thought; I'll just switch to a family plan and add a line. Easy.

So I go thru the add a line process, select all the plan details and it tells me that what I added to my cart will be my phone and now I need to select a 2nd phone for the family plan.

Ok, again, no big deal. I'll call the sales line and set it up thru them and get a refurb. Well apparently they don't do refurbs either.

Has anyone else done this kind of plan change? What am I missing? I'd rather spend the $100 extra before I mess up my plan.

It means that you can only purchase iphone refurbs online and not through stores or telesales.

So walk me through what happened when you tried to add a line. You shouldn't have to upgrade your own phone or existing contract to do this.
