adding an iPhone to a business account with AT&T

AT&T released the information many of us have been waiting for — the  
pricing plans. While the plans are certainly reasonable, they do  
leave a large group of customers out in the cold — the business  
customers.

I called AT&T this morning and they said my plan was not eligible for  
the iPhone because it was included in a business. In order to get an  
iPhone, I will have to convert that plan to an individual plan or  
sign up for a brand new two-year deal.

It seems silly that a large group of existing customers will not be  
able to get an iPhone because they are a business. That means that  
anyone in a business will have two separate phones and plans? I don’t  
think that will work.

They also said the SIM cards are not interchangeable. So, I can’t  
take my existing card and pop it into the iPhone.
