AT&T Puts an End to 300-Page iPhone Bills

You may remember my post on the widely criticized 300-page iPhone bill Justine Ezarik received earlier this month. The scandalous phone bill itemized every data transfer, text message, and call made on an unlimited data plan, which is mandatory for all iPhone users. The problem here wasn't the actual cost of the phone bill itself, but its unusual size.

The good news is AT&T is finally responding to customers' concerns by switching to summary billing. According to a text message sent to all iPhone users on Wednesday, AT&T will stop listing every single kilobyte exchange, and asks customers to view a detailed bill online instead. I doubt anyone will ever want to receive another bill in a box, but if you really must have a paper bill, you can request one for an extra $1.99 per month.

Why they didn't do this in the first place, is something I'd like to know. That move could've spared, both AT&T and Apple, from all the environmental backlash, especially since Al Gore sits on  Apple's Board of Directors.
