Only 35% of iPhone Buyers Will Get it For $199

If only one or more members in an AT&T family plan have iPhones, additional members in the family circle should be able to purchase an iPhone at $199 even it is shown as ineligible on the AT&T website. The trick is activate the additional members SIM cards as if they are iPhones. But it must be done by midnight via iTune's old activation procedure.

A circle of friends might technically do this but it goes against the written rules. See the comments at the link.
