AT&T has been in the news heavily today, and has made three announcements, all of which are of interest to iPhone users.
The first is a pair of 4G LTE modems, the Momentum 4G and Elevate 4G due out this summer, and perfect for getting your iPad Wi-Fi going at full speed. The former will cost you $49.99 on a two year contract with mail in rebate, the latter $69.99 on the same deal. We don’t have specific dates, but unless you’re in Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta or San Antonio, you won’t even be able to take advantage of the higher speeds until the end of this year.
AT&T has also slightly dropped the price on their international roaming fees, but they’re still way to pricey for me not to just jailbreak, unlock, and buy a cheap prepay SIM when I travel. The new prices will be:
– $24.99 gets you 50MB (previously 20MB)
– $49.99 gets you 125MB (previously 50MB)
– $99.99 gets you 275MB (previously 100MB)
– $199.99 gets you 800MB (previously 200MB)
– $10 for every additional 10 megabytes
9to5Mac is reporting that AT&T will be adding a new, more expensive insurance tier for phones this October 4th, prompting them to wonder if that isn’t the planned launch date for the next iPhone. Hardly anything official, but definitely intriguing.
