The Sidekick has been a long-time friend for those with Disabilities, specifically customers that are hearing impaired. In an effort to level the playing field, AT&T has announced that they will be offering special plans for Customers with disabilities wanting to pick up the AT&T iPhone without a voice plan. If you happen to fit the Customer profile, AT&T is offering an iPhone Plan with unlimited text messaging, Web Browsing and E-mail access for $40 per month. While $40/month is still more expensive than the same plan on T-Mobile with the Sidekick lineup, the upcoming iPhone version 2.0 with 3G data should sway your next purchase if you can live without a physical keyboard. Unless of course the rumored slide-out keyboard holds true, in which case the 3G iPhone might be your winning ticket.
Here is the official statement direct from AT&T:
Today, AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) announced a new Text Accessibility Plan (TAP) for iPhone, designed to give iPhone customers with disabilities the choice of unlimited text messaging, Web browsing and easy access to e-mail for $40 a month.
The plan is available for new and current customers with disabilities, but you must qualify for the plan before adding it to your account. In order to qualify you must complete an application form for eligibility which is available through AT&T’s website or you can hit the link below for a direct link.
