About 2 percent of iPhone buyers had trouble activating their phones because of a server overload at AT&T, reports the Washington Post.
Although the iPhone has enjoyed many positive reviews among members of the mainstream press who got the phone 2 weeks prior to its release, one complaint that remains consistent among critics is the issue of AT&T’s slow EDGE network.
While browsing the AT&T website, I stumbled upon three additional iPhone rate plans that weren’t previously announced:
AT&T and Apple announced three straightforward, reasonably-priced iPhone rate plans today.
All rate plans include unlimited data, Visual Voicemail, 200 SMS text messages, roll-over minutes and unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling.
AT&T is adding 2000 temporary employees to its sales staff to handle the swarm of iPhone traffic that will pass through its doors in the next few months.
I passed by my local AT&T store to ask about what kind of lines they were expecting, and one employee told me, “It’s gonna be crazy. You have no idea.”
Hoping for crowd control, AT&T sent a memo urging store managers to speak with their landlords to determine suitable locations for lines, and recommending the use of stanchions for managing the line.
