Refurbbed 3GS models are on sale at wireless.att.com now for $49 (16GB) &
$149 (32GB) but you better not be in New York because AT&T is no longer
selling the iPhone there! I checked - enter a NY Zip code at att.com and it
tells you there are no Apple/iPhones available - enter any other state's zip
code? Plenty Available

According to a *Consumerist*
report<http://consumerist.com/2009/12/att-customer-service-new-york-city-is-not-ready-for-the-iphone.html>,
AT&T has stopped selling the iPhone online to Zip codes in the New York City
Metro area. We've confirmed that we cannot get an iPhone online from AT&T's
online store with our NYC and Westchester Zip codes. *Is New York not ready
for the iPhone?*

A *Consumerist* reader reported:

*I was on the AT&T Wireless website trying to get an iPhone. However, when I
put in my zip code 11231, the site says the iPhone is unavailable. This
seemed a little odd so I started punching in other famous zip codes: 90210,
60609 (spiegel catalog), 02134 (zoom, an old children's show).For theses
cities, LA, Chicago, Boston, iPhone is available. Then I looked up some
other zip codes: Dallas, Miami, St. Louis, Philadelphia, San Francisco. All
those cities are ok. Then I started putting in more NYC zip codes: midtown,
Staten Island, the Bronx...no iPhone available.*

*This is weird...AT&T has cut off New York City.*

They even contacted AT&T support to verify the problem:

*Daphne: Welcome to AT&T online Sales support. How may I assist you with
placing your order today? *

*Laura: Hi, I was looking at the iPhone 3Gs and the system tells me that I
cannot order one in my ZIP code. My zip code is 11231. (Brooklyn, NY) Is
this true? Are iPhones no longer available in New York City? *

* Daphne: I am happy to be helping you today . Yes, this is correct the
phone is not offered to you because New York is not ready for the iPhone.
Daphne: You don't have enough towers to handle the phone. *

*Laura: Thank you for your help. So the phone is not available to people
anywhere in the city? *

*Daphne: Yes this is correct Laura.**
