What Do You Do With Your Old First Generation iPhone After Buying A New iPhone 3G?

If you are like me, you currently have a first generation iPhone and plan on purchasing the new iPhone 3G July 11th but you are wondering what in the world do you do with your old iPhone. Don’t worry, you are not alone. I have been pondering the same thing. The $199 or $299 dollar question is what do you do with your old first generation iPhone? I have listed a few options that many of you may consider. Provided that you have already read How To Replace Your Original iPhone With The New iPhone 3G you can read below.

AT&T has confirmed that owners of first generation iPhones that have upgraded to the new iPhone 3G will be able to deactivate their original iPhone and use it as basically an iPod touch. You will still be able to access all features (except make phone calls, duh!) and even the iTunes store via Wi-Fi.

If you want to hand your old iPhone down to a family member or use it as another cell phone that can be done also. You can reactivate your original iPhone to utilize another cellular phone number (see your AT&T rep.) with no problem.

Other options may include unlocking the iPhone 1.0 and keep it for international use. You can pop in a sim card from other services from around the world and the iPhone should work just fine as an international cell phone.

You can keep the iPhone 1.0 in reserve just in case the new iPhone 3G is lost, or broken. You know how those glass screens can get damaged… You may want to BUY A CASE for it!
