More Details on iPhone Service Plans posted by Apple, AT&T and Others plus New Reviews

Apple has posted special Web pages that describe the service plan options available to consumers buying and activating an iPhone. The pages cover individual, family and existing customer service plans as well as activation and service area coverage.

AT&T has posted a very useful FAQ that includes some additional details. Especially important to us is the procedure for those who already have a family service plan and wish to add an iPhone rather than replacing an existing phone. We have to go to an AT&T retail store and request an additional line for the iPhone and add the special iPhone data service. Unfortunately, not cost is mentioned. Hopefully, it will be just $9.99 for the additional line, the cost in the current plan, and $20 for the data service.

One iPhone per person on Friday--AppleInsider claims to have an AT&T communication that establishes the policy of selling only one iPhone per person on Friday. hey also claim that Apple plans to limit sales to individuals as well. This may be bad news for those paying someone to stand in line and pick up an iPhone for them, those providing the service and those planning to flip some quickly on eBay for a profit.

Finally, Walt Mossberg (WSJ video and ATD) and David Pogue (NYT) have posted iPhone reviews based on two weeks of use that potential iPhone buyers may find helpful. [Bill Fox & Dana Baggett]
