AT&T Changes Billing Practices, Pushed By IPhone

AT&T has announced changes to its billing practices after customers with an iPhone received massive, itemized bills in the post (the most famous bill being that unboxed by iJustine). AT&T will now send summarized bills as the default option—if they want the details it will cost an extra $1.99 per phone line reports LA Times. “This is something we’ve been planning for months, not only for the iPhone but also for the customer base as a whole,” said Mark Siegel, a spokesman for AT&T’s wireless business. “IPhone users are heavy data users, not surprisingly. We thought the time was right to move iPhone customers over.”

Meanwhile, research company UBS predicts that Apple will sell 800,000 iPhones this quarter (ending in September), which will bring the total number of iPhones sold to over 1 million reports Reuters.
