I am looking to purchase an iphone 6 from Walmart but have never purchased a phone from a third party retailer. I know that there are issues with early termination fees with the third party, but I have no intention of terminating the contract since we've been with AT&T for more than two years and I currently have an iphone that I want to upgrade. Are there any other downsides to this? Also, can I purchase the iphone and then activate the phone later? I would need to transfer the files at a later time and would like to do this at home. Is it easy to transfer all that data? I am wanting to upgrade my husband and my phone and we are both part of the contract. Do we both need to be present or can I buy both phones and change the contract there (and activate the phone later)?
Sorry for all the questions. This is all new to me since the last time I bought a phone it was at the Apple store and they did everything for us.
