All iPhone 3G S customers receive access to more than 20,000 U.S. AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots. As part of the iPhone OS 3.0 software, authentication at AT&T hot spots is automatic, allowing customers to seamlessly switch from AT&T’s 3G network to an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot without being prompted.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR CUSTOMERS BUYING ON JUNE 19

New AT&T customers who wish to port or retain their phone number from another wireless carrier should consider bringing a copy of a bill from their current service provider. Customers will be asked to provide account information as it appears on record with their current provider, including:

• Account number
• Name of the account holder
• Account holder’s Social Security Number or Tax ID
• Billing address
• PIN or password (if applicable)

Initially, AT&T stores will sell one iPhone 3G S per person for new customers; existing customers may purchase one per eligible telephone number. Online shoppers may purchase one device per household.

Customers who inherit an iPhone 3G from a friend or family member will need to visit an AT&T store to activate their device. Customers who inherit an iPhone can request a SIM card from AT&T and activate at home using iTunes.

Customers should listen to voice mail messages on their current devices and write down any necessary information before purchasing iPhone 3G S, because existing voice mail messages will be lost switching devices.

AT&T will offer accessory bundle options specific to iPhone 3G S in its retail stores.
