"AT&T is committed to offering the most innovative products and services to our customers, and we are pleased to be part of this great milestone in our market."

* Account number * Name of the account holder * Account holder's Social Security number or Tax ID * Billing address * PIN or password (if applicable)
Pricing and Eligibility 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:
