AT&T Airs New Ad Pushing $49 iPhone 3GS

Sweet, save $150 now but still pay the same $2000 over the next 24 months!

I guess you could get the smaller data plan, but even then voice and texts are still expensive when compared to other carriers like T-Mobile or Sprint.

I know that's the first thing I thought of too :p

I won't be giving either company my money until they offer a pre-paid plan. I'll pay for the phone outright but I don't want to be anchored to any contract :apple:

....

Same price as any other smartphone on ATT or VZW...I find phones are useless without the ability to make calls or text....

lol, even if it was free the contract blows it..

Yes I agree, I was just saying if you are going to be on a contract that costs around $70+ per month you might as well spend an extra $150 up front and get a better phone.

Of course some people might rather have the extra $150 than the better phone.

I have the iPhone 4 and with this price point I was finally able to convince the wife to switch carriers and phones. She got the 3 GS and loves it even though I tried to convince her into getting the iPhone 4! I don't think most women are into technology like us guys and this phone is all she really needs. I'm just happy to see her using a iPhone at last! :)

I'm waiting for iPhone 5 on Verizon. AT&T's network is terrible and I've had many arguments with them for having no service inside my own home, even though I am in a 100% coverage area, they keep saying it's a "low cell area" of the city and want me to purchase a microcell for $149.99. Are you kidding me??? No way. I wouldn't buy another AT&T iPhone. My contract ends in 4 months...

My wife just got one and she loves it! The only reason she didn't get one before is because of price, so once she saw this it was a no brainer! Obviously not the iP4, but still a great phone at a great price!

Some women yes, but my wife is more like yours in that regard. I told her that this summer we are going to upgrade our iPhone 3Gs phones to iPhone 5 and she responded "why? my iPhone works great". It took me a minute to collect my thoughts because I had to change perspectives in order to give her a reason she would buy into. I told her it would give her an awesome camera in her pocket at all times to take pictures of the kids. She still isn't sold on it, but I'm hoping that this is one of those areas that I just get my way since she typically lets me make the technology decisions since I do all the family tech support. It was much easier getting her to go from an LG Shine to iPhone 3Gs once she saw my iPhone 3Gs.

Well if you can't get her to go for the iPhone 5 at least maybe the iPhone 4. I am sure the price will be reduced this summer.
