One of our staff members was getting a bit antsy and did his weekly calling around about the iPhone. After speaking with a Cingular store representative, he uncovered a few details:
- You must buy a data plan with the iPhone.
- Data plan package is $40. This includes Unlimited Internet surfing and 1500 text, SMS or photo messages.
- You may increase your text, SMS or photo messages for a higher price
- You may choose your voice plan among the various ones they have available currently.
- Most likely 2 year contract will be required.
- No info on pricing for current subscribers with AT&T / Cingular but you will have to be qualified for an upgrade to purchase one.
- They had no details as to how many they were going to get in stock.
- They will close at 4:30pm and reopen at 6pm to sell the iPhone
- No waiting list. First come, first served.
Looks like everything out in the grapevine is true and this all came from a Cingular/New AT&T representative.
