A year later, AT&T releases an account management app for iPhone

By Tim Conneally | Published May 6, 2009, 2:06 PM

Nearly a year after the iTunes App Store launched, AT&T has finally made a wireless account manager available for the iPhone. This week, the mobile carrier debuted "myWireless Mobile," which lets iPhone users manage their wireless bills and plans, and track their voice, data and text message usage.

The app is free and is an extension of the Web-based "myWireless" account manager found on att.com. To access your records, you must first be registered myWireless user. Similar to T-Mobile's MyAccount, which was launched in the Android market in March for users of the popular G1 handset, myWireless allows management of not only a single handset, but also a whole family's set of phones.

I recently left Sprint for ATT because I wanted the iPhone. When tethering on Sprint I got 900Kbps average. When tethering with my iPhone I am averaging 1.5Mbps. The problem is the 3G coverage on ATT blows! I could go on road trips and hold an EVDO connection on Sprint for 150 miles. Luckily I am not on the road much and the 3G coverage in my city is good.

AT&T has the second fastest network behind Sprint & Clearwire's WiMAX network, but yes I agree that AT&T is slow in making apps though.
