A Brooklyn resident alerted Consumerist that when he attempted to purchase the iPhone through AT&T’s Web site he was prompted to enter his zip code and, when he did, the site informed him that the device was not available in his area. It’s available in other places, including Beverly Hills and Boston, but not for the greater New York City area.
Consumerist confirmed the oddity, and discovered via an online chat with a sales rep that “New York is not ready for the iPhone.” Wow.
So AT&T’s solution to the congestion on the 3G network in this area is to no longer sell iPhones to New Yorkers. At least not through their Web site. All other 3G-capable smart phones are available to Gotham dwellers (including BlackBerrys), just not the most popular one. I guess this was the next step in the plan after telling iPhone owners to stop using so much data.
Since the news hit, several bloggers and news outlets have attempted to get answers as to why this has happened. So far Consumerist hasn’t received a response from AT&T Media Relations. A customer service rep told Gearlog’s Sascha Segan that the sales were suspended due to fraudulent activity in the area (since when isn’t there fraud in this city?), which is the same story a Consumerist commenter heard. According to Gearlog, iPhones are still available in stores and Apple.com is still willing to sell them online. An AT&T spokesperson told CNET that the move was a “strategic decision” and that they “periodically modify our promotions and distribution channels.”
Which story is true?
