Rumours are flying that AT&T is planning to offer Apple's iPhone on prepaid as well as postpaid plans.
The source of the rumour is The Boy Genius Report, which published what it claims is a screen shot from an internal AT&T system showing account codes for postpaid, prepaid and hybrid (prepaid via automatic monthly payments of $US29.99, $US39.99, $US49.99 or $US69.99) plans.
Whether the image is genuine or not remains moot. Even if it is, the absence of any information about AT&T's normal practices means speculation is similar to examining goat entrails. Do all the phones in AT&T's catalogue show up with three different codes in this system?
All we know for sure is that AT&T originally announced that the iPhone will cost $US499 on a two-year contract.{moscomment}
