			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://devicearena.com/wp-content/att-logo.jpg' alt='AT&#038;T' align="left" />AT&#038;T U-verseSM TV customers can now use a free application from the Apple App Store to make scheduling and managing recordings on their DVR even easier when they’re away from home. The U-verse TV Mobile Remote Access App for iPhone and iPod touch lets customers record their content from virtually anywhere and is another example of U-verse TV applications and DVR enhancements that have been rolled out to customers at no extra charge.</p>
<p><em>“This is the perfect example of how AT&#038;T is bringing services together to deliver a better experience for customers,”</em> said <strong>Jeff Weber</strong>, vice president of video services for AT&#038;T Mobility and Consumer Markets. <em>“With AT&#038;T U-verse, you get DVR capabilities you can’t find from any other provider, and this app gives users the freedom to schedule their DVR from their iPhone or iPod touch.”</em></p>
<p><span id="more-7386"></span><br />
The app allows users to easily search U-verse TV program listings from the full program guide, view descriptions of selected programs, schedule program or series recordings, manage or edit scheduled recordings, and delete stored DVR content.</p>
<p>The Mobile Remote Access App is available for free from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.</p>
<p>The launch of the new U-verse TV Mobile Remote Access App follows several DVR enhancements that are currently being rolled out to U-verse TV customers, including an exclusive new Total Home DVR feature that allows customers to schedule and delete recordings from any U-verse receiver in the home — all from a single DVR.</p>
<p>AT&#038;T U-verse was one of the first providers to introduce Web Remote Access to the DVR in November 2006, and it brought three-screen DVR access to all U-verse TV customers with Mobile Remote Access to the DVR in April 2007. In 2008, AT&#038;T launched AT&#038;T U-verse Total Home DVR, allowing all U-verse DVR customers to watch standard and High Definition recorded shows from a single DVR on any connected TV in the home.</p>
<p>U-verse TV customers can also enjoy several other integrated applications, including personalized, on-screen weather, sports, traffic and stock information via AT&#038;T U-bar; local and national weather forecasts with Weather On Demand; the ability to view personal photos on your TV that you have uploaded to flickr.com; and more.</p>
<p>AT&#038;T U-verse customers enjoy quadruple-play integration, enhanced features and greater value, all made possible by IP technology. AT&#038;T U-verse TV ranked <em>“Highest in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the North Central, South, and West Regions,”</em> according to the <strong>J.D. Power</strong> and Associates 2008 Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction StudySM.</p>

<p><span id="more-7234"></span><br />
Based on independent market research, twice as many smartphone users have chosen AT&#038;T over any other U.S. carrier. &#8220;I expect this great new iPhone 3G S and a $99 iPhone 3G on our mobile broadband network will spur even more smartphone customers to choose AT&#038;T,&#8221; said de la Vega. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://devicearena.com/wp-content/att-logo.jpg' alt='AT&#038;T' align="left" />AT&#038;T and Firethorn Holdings, LLC, a Qualcomm company, announced today the availability of their market-leading mobile banking application for iPhone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://devicearena.com/wp-content/att-logo.jpg' alt='AT&#038;T' align="left" />AT&#038;T today announced expanded international data offerings to help keep iPhone customers connected around the world. Beginning tomorrow, AT&#038;T will offer two new plans that accommodate iPhone customers&#8217; increasing reliance on data services while traveling abroad. The two new plans, which offer 100 megabytes (MB) or 200 MB a month, can potentially save customers hundreds of dollars compared to pay-per-use international data roaming charges. </p>
<p>For discounted international data usage in 67 countries,1 the 100 MB iPhone plan is available for an additional $119.99 a month, while the 200 MB plan costs an additional $199.99 a month.2 These new plans are in addition to existing plans for smartphones, including iPhone, which offer 20 MB and 50 MB in the same countries. There are no long-term commitments required, so customers can add or remove these plans to their existing packages on an as-needed basis. </p>
<p><span id="more-3585"></span><br />
<em>&#8220;AT&#038;T has worked diligently to provide affordable options for international roaming because the feature-rich mobile experience of iPhone is indispensable to users,&#8221;</em> said <strong>Bill Hague</strong>, executive vice president of International for AT&#038;T&#8217;s wireless operations. <em>&#8220;With these new international data plans, iPhone users can access more data in more countries for less cost.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>With the largest global footprint of any wireless provider, only AT&#038;T customers can make and receive calls in more than 200 countries and send e-mail and browse the Web in more than 150 countries, including more than 60 countries with high speed third-generation (3G) coverage. AT&#038;T also offers voice and data coverage on 120 major cruise ships. </p>
<p>iPhone 3G is one of more than 40 world devices AT&#038;T offers, more than any other U.S. wireless service provider. AT&#038;T customers can take their new iPhone 3G devices around the world, including Japan and South Korea, which require a device that operates on 2100 MHz.</p>
<p>With access to full HTML e-mail, visual voice mail, enhanced Web browsing and other feature-rich applications that can use a significant amount of data, iPhone users may need more than they think while traveling abroad. Just 2 MB of data use at pay-per-use data rates of $0.0195 per kilobyte would cost almost $40, making these new plans very valuable for customers traveling outside the U.S.</p>
<p>iPhone customers can also save money by following some simple tips, including keeping data roaming in the preset off position, using Wi-Fi when possible, turning off automatic checks for e-mail and setting the usage tracker to zero at the beginning of a trip to monitor use. </p>
<p>To help travelers stay connected and manage their wireless costs, AT&#038;T offers a variety of resources. AT&#038;T&#8217;s Travel Guide (www.att.com/travelguide) allows customers to create an itinerary with rate information for up to 10 international destinations as well as review discounted voice and data packages.</p>
<p CLASS="Footnote"><sup>1</sup> The discounted data roaming package rate applies in: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Barbados, The Bahamas, Belgium, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominica, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, France, French Guiana, Germany, Greece, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guam, Guatemala, Haiti, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Martinique, Mexico, Monaco, Montserrat, The Netherlands, Netherland Antilles, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Singapore, Slovak Republic, South Korea, Spain, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Martin, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, United Kingdom and Vatican City.</p>
<p CLASS="Footnote"><sup>2</sup> Rate outside the 67 discounted countries is $.010/KB except in Algeria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bolivia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Brunei, Faroe Islands, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Macau, Macedonia (former Yugoslavia), Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Venezuela, where the rate is $0.0195/KB.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;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,&#8221;</em> said <strong>Susan Mazrui</strong>, Director, Federal Regulatory, AT&#038;T. <em>&#8220;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.&#8221;</em></p>

This new plan is available to current and future iPhone 3G users with qualifying disabilities through AT&#038;T&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#038;T NCCD with questions at 866-241-6568 for voice calls or 866-241-6567 for TTY calls.</p>
<p>AT&#038;T offers TAP plans to qualifying customers for use with most handsets across AT&#038;T&#8217;s portfolio. The NCCD also helps AT&#038;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&#8217;s menu options.</p>
