ATT announced today that the Text Accessibility Plan (TAP) for iPhone

3G will give customers with disabilities unlimited text messaging,

Web browsing and easy access to e-mail for $50 per month. Customers

with disabilities wishing to use enterprise email can sign up for a

$65 per month plan that features unlimited messaging, data, and

support for enterprise email with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Pay-

per-use voice is included in both the consumer and enterprise TAP at

$.40 per minute.

" We are thrilled to extend our Text Accessibility Plans to iPhone 3G

customers so they can truly experience all of the speed and

functionality of this powerful new device, " said Mazrui,

Director, Federal Regulatory, AT & T. " With TAP for iPhone 3G,

customers can use the intuitive Multi-Touch touch screen to tap out

their communications and stay connected while on the go. "

This new plan is available to current and future iPhone 3G users with

qualifying disabilities through AT & T's National Center for Customers

with Disabilities (NCCD). To qualify for the iPhone 3G TAP, customers

must complete an application for eligibility. The form is available

for download at http://www.wireless.att.com/about/disability-

resources/text-accessibility-plan-for-iphone.jsp

When purchasing iPhone 3G, customers will be required to sign up for

a standard iPhone 3G voice and data plan. After the iPhone 3G is

activated, customers can e-mail, fax or mail the eligibility form

back to the NCCD to change their rate plan to the TAP for iPhone 3G.

Customers can contact the AT & T NCCD with questions at 866-241-6568

for voice calls or 866-241-6567 for TTY calls.

AT & T offers TAP plans to qualifying customers for use with most

handsets across AT & T's portfolio. The NCCD also helps AT & T customers

with disabilities with a variety of applications that aid in wireless

communications. These include features to assist persons who are

blind, such as Mobile Magnifier, which enables an individual to zoom-

in on the screen, and Mobile Speak, which reads aloud the phone's

menu options.
