iPhone's Deal With Cingular

Cingular confirmed that iPhone won't be sold to customers without a 2 year binding contract with the provider. Therefore, the Apple iPhone requires its buyers to sign a two-year plan with Cingular. If not, then the model won't be sold to them.

Users will most likely opt for the data plan in order to use the iPhone's internet features. The current plans offered by Cingular have a rate that is as small as $9.99 to as much as $39.99 for every month. Users have Internet access because the iPhone provides them with the tools they need.

Cisco also has the rights to iPhone wherever Internet telephones are concerned. However it is still Apple that uses the iPhone name when it applies to cellular phones.

Apple believes this it the combining of the mobile phone and the widescreen iPod along with the Internet devices. This is proof that technology keeps on getting better and better.

The iPhone is so cool. In fact, just one example of its nifty features is the fact that it runs on the version of Mac OS X and it uses gestures in order to navigate throughout the interface. You can zoom into the Google map and then squeeze your fingers together.

The Apple iPhone is a dream phone for most but there are a lot of complications for the consumer. For one, the price is very expensive. There are two models and the cheapest one is $499. The second problem is that in order for the consumer to buy the gadget in his hands, he must sign first with Cingular. It is a binding contract for two years.

This is a major problem for some people because the Cingular provider doesn't have that much presence in some areas, particularly North Dakota. The closest stores they have there is in between the Twin Cities. There are some states that are stuck with Sprint, Alltel and Verizon.

Out of all the providers, Verizon gives the best coverage but this is the last carrier on the priority list of the Apple iPhone. Just consider yourself lucky if you are available to buy the phone then sign up for the contract with Cingular.

If not, you can always download ring tones and wallpapers. Who says you can't have fun on other model phones? It may not be an Apple iPhone but it will definitely do your calling and your texting for you.
