  "AT&T has the largest voice and data network in America, the largest   mobile-to-mobile calling community and the fewest dropped calls," said Randall   Stephenson, chairman and CEO, AT&T. "AT&T has invested more than 16   billion dollars in its wireless network between 2005 and 2007, and iPhone   customers will enjoy the best voice and data network in the nation."
 
  "We   want to make choosing a service plan simple and easy, so every plan includes   unlimited data with direct Internet access, along with Visual Voicemail and a   host of other goodies," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We think these three   plans give customers the flexibility to experience all of iPhone's revolutionary   features at affordable and competitive prices."
 
  All iPhone plans include   Visual Voicemail, an industry first, which allows consumers to see a listing of   their voicemails, decide which messages to listen to, then go directly to those   messages without listening to previous messages. Just like email, Visual   Voicemail on iPhone enables users to immediately and randomly access the   messages that interest them most. Unlike most wireless plans that charge   additional fees for new features, there are no additional fees for Visual   Voicemail.
 
  iPhone introduces an entirely new user interface based on a   revolutionary multi-touch display and pioneering new software that allows users   to control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers. iPhone   combines three products into one small and lightweight handheld device-a   revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod , and the Internet in your pocket   with best-ever applications on a mobile phone for email, web browsing and maps.   iPhone ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen   in a mobile device, which completely redefines what users can do on their mobile   phones.

  iPhone goes on sale at 6:00   p.m. (local time) on Friday, June 29 and will be sold in the US through Apple's   retail and online stores and AT&T retail stores. iPhone will be available in   a 4GB model for $499 (US) and an 8GB model for $599 (US), and will work with   either a PC or Mac .
