AT&T to serve up iPhone with pre-paid service?
Apple's much heralded iPhone device may be made available as a prepaid handset, according to data recently culled from wireless carrier AT&T's internal account database.
Based on the screen capture, the blog site infers that Apple will make the handset available through each of AT&T's primary service methods, including the familiar subscription-only service as well as the Go Phone Pick Your Plan (hybrid) and Pay As You Go (prepaid-only) methods.
While the costs for the individual services are unknown, AT&T hasn't announced any changes to its payment methods for the iPhone versus other devices.
Meanwhile, Electronista raises the possibility that the AT&T data entries for the various iPhone payment methods may have been completed automatically regardless of the carrier's intent to use them for shipping phones.
Thus far, AT&T has committed only the pricing officially announced by Apple at Macworld San Francisco in January, which asserted that iPhone will be available starting from $499 for a 4GB model with a two-year service subscription.
