iPhone sales restrictions in affect prior to 3G launch
Posted by: JT in Hardware, iPhone
According to AT&T wireless, you aren’t able to purchase more than one phone as an individual. You’re also now not able to purchase an iPhone if someone else in your household also has purchased one. AT&T, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do!
My guess is that this is a new rule added prior to the launch of the new 3G iPhone model, which is due June 9th at the Apple WWDC. Preventing people from hoarding the new iPhone and starting an entire black market of ebay sales is something AT&T seems to take very seriously. Once the “early adopter” phase of 3G iPhone sales have faded, and there isn’t a cut throat demand to support an underground market, these rules will go out the window….I hope.
