iPhone 3G Upgrade Policies and Information

justiphone.jpgIf you are planning on going the new iPhone 3G route, here's some information about the plans available and how to get iPhone ready.

iPhone 3G will be available for $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for
the 16GB model. These prices require two-year contracts and are
available to the following customers:

* iPhone customers who purchased before July 11
* Customers activating a new line with AT&T
* Current AT&T customers who are eligible, at the time of purchase, for an upgrade discount

Existing AT&T customers who are not currently eligible for an
upgrade discount can purchase iPhone 3G for $399 for the 8GB model or
$499 for the 16GB model. Both options require a new two-year service
agreement. In the future, AT&T will offer a no-contract-required
option for $599 (8GB) or $699 (16GB).

Current customers may also choose to wait until they become eligible
for an upgrade discount. Eligibility is generally determined by amount
of time remaining on a current contract and payment history.

Current AT&T customers who are upgrading to iPhone 3G will pay
an $18 upgrade fee and new AT&T customers will pay the standard $36
activation fee.

iPhone 3G
customers can choose from four individual AT&T Nation plans, which
bundle voice and unlimited data (e-mail and Web browsing).

AT&T will offer FamilyTalk plans, with bundled voice and
unlimited data, starting as low as $129.99 a month for two iPhone 3G
lines. Up to three additional iPhone lines can be added for $39.99 each.

Unlimited text messaging can be added for an additional $20 ($30 for
FamilyTalk plans of up to five lines); $15 (1,500 messages), or $5 (200

iPhone for Business

Business customers interested in iPhone 3G should contact an
AT&T business sales representative or review their account
information online to determine their eligibility for upgrade pricing.
Corporate e-mail and other business applications require the Enterprise
Data Plan for iPhone, which is $45 a month and bundled with an eligible
voice plan. Small business customers may qualify for AT&T
BusinessTalk, the industry's only shared plan specifically for small
businesses. Additional details on iPhone business offerings are
available at www.att.com/iphoneforbusiness.

iPhone 2.0 Software

All iPhone customers will benefit from the iPhone 2.0 software,
which will be pre-loaded on all iPhone 3Gs and available as a free
download for current iPhone customers. The new software will include
numerous enhancements, such as business-class e-mail access via
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync; the iPhone Software Development Kit
(SDK), which allows a business to easily create applications customized
to its needs; and the App Store, which offers a wide-range of
applications - from games to business, education to entertainment and
productivity to social networking. For example, AT&T has developed
YELLOWPAGES.COM Mobile for iPhone, which takes local mobile search to a
new level by allowing users to discover businesses and local events
based on their popularity among other iPhone users, get directions and
access business reviews.
