Refurbished 8gb iphone 3g at Att for $49 with 2 contract.

Get the original iPhone.Their going to be a lot cheaper then 3G or 3GS. Check ubid web site or amazon

here i found this on google

Go hang out at the Verizon stores… watch for really disgruntled, soon to be former AT&T users that are going in to get the Blackberry Pearl. Those are the people that will sell an iPhone quick and CHEAP!

But seriously, keep watching crlst and ebay. Go to some of the craigslist lists that are in other cities and states. Larger cities with more people will have more used phones, driving the costs down. Careful if you find one that is “Unlocked” or Jailbroken. You don’t want to end up spending more time and money trying to figure out what someone else did wrong.

The 8G non 3GS phones would probably be your best bet. I came across this online – you might do well with it:

Yes, you are going to have a lot of trouble trying to find a good deal on an iPhone contract or a Pay-As-You-Go iPhone. The reason? There isn’t one.

You can keep searching, reading forums, browsing sketchy websites, etc but after all those hours you will finally realize that there is no shortcut. It’s a bit of a monopoly with AT&T being the only carrier (Verizon soon, but expect similar plan rates).

The best thing you can do is get the cheapest AT&T plan possible. That’s the 400 nationwide rollover minute plan of $39.99 a month and 200MB data plan of $15 a month. If you don’t want to pay $55 per month then stop right now and look for something other than an iPhone. The plan is expensive even without considering the phone at all.

So you’re ok with $55 a month? Good. Now you can focus on saving money on the phone itself. This is the only area where you actually can find deals, discounts etc. The iPhone 4 16 GB phone is $199 from the Apple Store or your local AT&T store. However, if you look around you can find deals on refurbished iPhones or iPhones that have a little scratch or blemish on them but are otherwise brand new.

Currently, the best deal for the iPhone 4 16GB is $79.00 for a blemished model or $99 for a refurbished model which you can see here:

The best part is that although they are blemished or refurbished, it’s still sold ‘as new’ by AT&T and you’ll get a 90 day warranty (or more) with the phone as well.

If she is not eligible for an upgrade then she would have to pay full retail for it:
