AT&T Wireless introduced an Enterprise Data Plan today that drops the monthly iPhone bill by $25 for business customers until December 31 2008. That brings the lowest monthly service plan for AT&T Wireless business customers with an iPhone to $45 a month--compared to $60 for consumers.
At the end of the promotion (Jan.1, 2009) Enterprise Data Plan customers will see their bills jump back to $60 a month, AT&T Wireless customer service representatives say.

To take advantage of the Enterprise Data Plan, you'll have to either have your company purchase the service plan for you, or you'll have to be authorized by your company as an "authorized order placer." There will be no discount on equipment (iPhone) for business customers, according to a AT&T Wireless business sales representative.
The AT&T Wireless business offering matches consumer offerings for the iPhone except for the fact as an Enterprise Data Plan customer you'll automatically qualify for adding a Data Global Add-On plan. The Data Global Add-On plan allows buy 20MB to 50MB of usage within 29 countries for $25 to $60. Consumer AT&T iPhone customers have to qualify to take advantage of the Data Global Add-On plan only after six months of service.
