Corporate ACcount Question

mm1250 · 06-23-2007, 11:32 PM

Hello all,

I have been reading up on the iPhone. I'm pretty much sold on it. I currently have a Nextel account (over 7 years) and I am obviously going to have to switch carriers. My NExtel account has about 6 phones but I plan on porting only my phone number to setup a business account with ATT. I read on the forums that you CANNOT get an iPhone on a business account. My business pays the cell-phone bill, why would ATT make me have to sign up under my name vs. signing up under my business name? Or is this no true?

You can probably sign up your business name if it's only 6 phones. They are not selling to large corporate accounts yet because these accounts are negotiated on a corporate level. You can set up an account, just don't expect to get corporate level pricing plans.

Not looking for any discounts, I'm only going to have my new phone with ATT and the rest of the company is going to stay with Nextel.. I want to setup my new account under my business.

I don't see why they wouldn't do that then.
