AT&T Downsizes iPhone Bills

Posted by Renee Oricchio at 9:00 AM

The iPhone's been out since June 29th, which means some users have already received their second monthly statement. Good news: next month it won't be arriving in a box so heavy it sprains your wrist when you pull it out of the mail box. AT&T has heard your cries.

Apparantly, AT&T went a little crazy itemizing every call, text message, email, even every web page accessed. Some customers were literally getting statements so big that it couldn't fit in an envelope. Check out the youtube video of one customer showing off her iPhone bill/paper weight.

AT&T says it will be sending out statements sans details. Customers can get an itemized account of past activity online. There you can scroll through it on your iPhone with your finger - and without risking a paper cut!

Blackberry Tidbit

My sister-in-law just got back from vacationing in South Africa. She had no problem using her Blackberry there (it didn't work, however, while on safari in Zambia). What's interesting to me: She doesn't have the fancy new global Blackberry that came out a few months ago. It's a regular Blackberry with international service.
