iphone

In an interesting change of heart that was no doubt spurred on by a recent FCC inquiry, AT&T announced today it has “taken the steps necessary so that Apple can enable VoIP applications on iPhone to run on AT&T’s 3G wireless network.” VoIP applications (such as Skype) were previously allowed to run only over a Wi-Fi network and not over AT&T’s 3G wireless network. With today’s announcement, VoIP applications can now run on both the Wi-Fi network as well as AT&T’s wireless data network.

According to Ralph de la Vega, President and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets, “Today’s decision was made after evaluating our customers’ expectations and use of the device compared to dozens of others we offer.”

att logo AT&T announces their new “A-List with Rollover” feature for qualifying wireless plans allowing customers to make unlimited mobile calls to and from five “VIP” domestic phone numbers at no additional cost. If you’re a part of a qualifying FamilyTalk plan, you’ll be able to add up to 10 lines with the new A-List feature. And of course since you won’t be using up minutes on your plan, you’ll be able to roll them over into the next month.

Qualifying plans include individual Nation plans of $59.99 or higher. VIP numbers eligible include landlines and wireless numbers on ANY network.

FamilyTalk customers with plans of $89.99 or higher can select up to 10 numbers.

Starting on Sept. 20th, AT&T customers will be able to edit their A-List by going to www.att.com/alist. Numbers can be changed at any time, though customers should allow up to 24 hours for the changes to take effect on an account.

If you’ve been thinking about switching to AT&T U-verse as well as AT&T wireless service, then this might be a great time to do so. The company announced today a new bundle called the “Buy Two, Get One Free” bundle, which would combine both services onto a single bill for “significant savings.”

Customers will be able to bundle U-verse TV (package U200 or above) with either an AT&T Wireless service (Nation 450 plan or above for new or renewing customers) or a U-verse Voice Unlimited plan and then receive U-verse High Speed Internet Pro service for free for six months. This amounts to a savings of $30 dollars a month or a total savings of $180 dollars.

The new bundle is currently available in the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio) and will be made available to all AT&T U-verse markets over the coming weeks.

htc touch pro2

It certainly looks like the HTC Touch Pro2 handset will be getting around. Not only will Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile carry the Windows Mobile smartphone but above is visual proof that AT&T will indeed be carrying the phone.  Interestingly enough, the Touch Pro2 will likely be branded as the Tilt 2 by AT&T.
