Information has surfaced that confirms the top 20 third-party authorized dealer networks selling AT&T Mobility products and services will begin to carry the iPhone beginning on November 1st.
This represents a further change of sales policy regarding iPhone, as it was formerly restricted to AT&T retail stores, online sales and Apple, then opened up to select authorized retailers such as Best Buy and Wal-Mart last year.
No word on which AT&T authorized dealer networks will carry the iPhone is available at this time.
LOL! It’s going to be funny watching the Spring reps try to sell the iPhone.
Spring is one of the largest 3rd party AT&T retailers. They literally have a sign in their store that talks about all the disadvantages of the iPhone. They have a comparison chart showing other phones compared to the iPhone- last time I was in there, which was almost a year ago, they had the Vu on said chart.
Anyway, this chart has things like device cost, required data plan cost, MMS (at the time), and various other advantages for the Vu with disadvantages for the iPhone.
They were, of course, doing this because they weren’t allowed to sell the iPhone as a 3rd party retailer.
It is going to be pretty funny watching them push the iPhone after they way they have been dogging it all this time.
@SaltyDawg that’s of course a false claim due to the fact that the data plan wont be considered into the sales rep commission payout since it strictly gets divided by apple and AT&T corp. It is merely a way to not have to walk a sale for that excuse
