Do n’t ask me – ask AT&T ( or this reader , who sent me this tip ) . Everything but the launching date does jibe with what I ’ve heard , so who knows ?
I just lecture to a * very * helpful customer tending instance at AT&T , who give me a lot of information about the newfangled “ ogo ”
Here is everything she told me :
It will cost 17.99 mo , but there is a $ 3 / mo prefatory pass ( she did n’t say how long the offer was good for ) , there will be an activation fee of $ 19.99 , and the price of the unit is $ 129.99 , with a $ 30 discount at launch . She understand me the capability of the unit , which include unlimited domestic text edition messaging ( did n’t know if the unit would have its own phone number ) with premium and outside SMS available for a fee , unlimited instant messaging , and “ outright access to 1 premium portal site ” ( AOM , MSN , Yahoo ) , as well as support for “ some ” other e-mail providers . She could n’t differentiate me what all that included , or if it included your own IMAP / POP3 server . In the most celebrated news , she told me that the launching day of the month is tomorrow , September 15 ! !
