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.”
