AT&T to offer iPhone on prepaid plan?

Your IT - Mobility

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.
