We knew that Apple launched a special and dedicated section for the potential Apple iPhone 3G buyers to buy their very own device of their choice online.

Well now giants AT&T has announced a pretty much similar thing which will enable its customers to setup their very own accounts online even before going off to the nearest and dearest store to activate and completing their purchase of the Apple iPhone.

This is great news because it will indeed reduce the long times standing in queues over the Christmas holiday periods, this service does require pre-qualifying credit checks to see if you are eligible to port existing phone number to AT&T in advance, existing AT&T customers on the other hand will determine the eligibility to add a new line for the Apple iPhone 3G.

If this is something you would like to do, then please get yourself over to AT&T and setup right now.
