AT&T announced Tuesday that it will launch Apple's iPhone 3G in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on Oct. 17.
"iPhone will arrive for AT&T customers in Puerto Rico on October 17," said Jose Juan Davila, vice president and general manager of AT&T's wireless operations in Puerto Rico. "AT&T is committed to offering the most innovative products and services to our customers, and we are pleased to be part of this great milestone in our market."
New AT&T customers who wish to port or retain their phone number from another wireless carrier should consider bringing a copy of a bill from their current service provider. Customers will be asked to provide account information as it appears on record with their current provider, including:
- Account number
- Name of the account holder
- Account holder's Social Security number or Tax ID
- Billing address
- PIN or password (if applicable)
iPhone 3G will be available for $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model. These prices require two-year contracts and are available to the following:
- Customers activating a new line with AT&T.
- Current AT&T customers who are eligible, at the time of purchase, for an upgrade discount.
Current customers who are not eligible for an upgrade discount can purchase iPhone 3G for $399 for the 8GB model or $499 for the 16GB model. Both options require a new two-year service agreement.
