AT&T* announced it has taken the steps necessary so that Apple can enable VoIP applications on iPhone to run on AT&T�s wireless network. Previously, VoIP applications on iPhone were enabled for Wi-Fi connectivity. For some time, AT&T has offered a variety of other wireless devices that enable VoIP applications on 3G, 2G and Wi-Fi networks. AT&T this afternoon informed Apple Inc. and the FCC of its decision.
In late summer, AT&T said it was taking a fresh look at VoIP capabilities on iPhone for use on AT&T�s 3G network, consistent with its regular review of device features and capabilities to ensure attractive options for consumers.
�iPhone is an innovative device that dramatically changed the game in wireless when it was introduced just two years ago,� said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO, AT&T Mobility & Consumer Markets. �Today�s decision was made after evaluating our customers� expectations and use of the device compared to dozens of others we offer.�
AT&T allows customers to download or launch on their wireless devices a multitude of compatible applications directly from any lawful Internet website. Additionally, because AT&T uses GSM technology, the most pervasive and open wireless technology platform in the world, we support customers using any GSM phone that works on AT&T's frequencies.
