I've faced this issue before too. I'm gonna call 611 and see what their take is. If they tell me I'll have to dump my FAN to get the iPhone then I'll be sure to let it go. I'm guessing though that I just won't get my normal equipment discount as is part of my (former) companies plan. Then again, I'm not with the company any more either....

No call to a CSR required, though it did take a few tries and about five minutes of waiting at the final confirmation prompt before activation was completed.

Even if I have to switch, it'll be worth it. I would rather not though, why give up a discount if I don't have to? Plus, not all my lines will be iPhones.
