Then I guess I would count as a genuine "new" iPhone customer. I tried 
to slip the iPhone onto my old AT&T account, but since it is a business 
account, they wouldn't do it. So...I just did it from scratch: all new. 
As soon as I got home, I called AT&T and moved the iPhone into my 
business account, and shared the minutes and features with my old Nokia, 
which serves as a backup device. No muss, no fuss.

One thing about AT&T: their user account administration has improved 
over the years by an order of magnitude.
