AT&T announced today that they will launch the iPhone 3G handset in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on October 17th. If you’re planning to port your number over from another wireless carrier, AT&T recommends you bring a copy of your bill from your current provider to AT&T. You’ll need to provide the following info:

• Account number
• Name of the account holder
• Account holder’s SSN or Tax ID
• Billing address
• PIN or password if applicable

The iPhone 3G will be available for the same prices as here in the states – $199 for 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model. The same eligibility requirements apply for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
