Bring back iPhone home activation by Apple and AT&T
AT&T Premier adds 3G iPhone upgrade option too… My belief is that AT&T is trying to sell as many 8GB 3G iPhones as possible since most new users are tempted by low price. This way, when 32GB iPhone is released in Jan 2009, they will be all set to go!
Online shoppers looking to spend the holiday season firmly planted on the couch can add the iPhone 3G back to their lists — we’ve just confirmed that Apple and AT&T have quietly brought back in-home activation. This time it is not some convoluted pre-activation process, this is the real deal.just like with the first-gen unit. Would-be unlockers looking to score a phone for $199 flat can’t start celebrating just yet, though — you’ll still have to provide your billing details and face an ETF if you don’t activate within a set period of time.
User reviews:
Zach Epstein Said:Adam - For clarification’s sake, you can also add a line to an existing account so it’s not only for new customers. Only equipments upgrades are disallowed for the time being.
Shan! Said:This isn’t surprising with the upcoming iPhone sales at Wal-mart they are going to want those customers to be able to do it from home rather than buy the phone at Wal-mart then have to go to the store.
