AT&T right behind Verizon with on-device account management app

You might recall that Verizon pushed out a handy-dandy account management app for its BlackBerry fleet not long ago, offering a store locator, balance checker, rudimentary feature control, and a handful of other basic tasks all without the pain, suffering, and heartache of dialing into a customer service call center. Now AT&T's followed suit, though not on its many, many BlackBerrys -- instead, it's going after the iPhone crowd with "myWireless Mobile," where users can check usage, modify account settings, and pay their bills. It's a handy (and more importantly, free) little app to have -- let's just see it launch on every other smartphone platform you support, eh, AT&T?

That fact that VZW it sucks but the AT&T version is so much better. No negative comments left on this post.

T-mobile has had a similar app for a while now on the g1. Its pretty good

Yeah, what the hell? How can you guys forget the first network to release their own app!

[Chris Posted May 5th 2009 9:31PM]

Dude, I said they were right behind Verizon, because Verizon literally released theirs a couple weeks back! That's all I said!

Marcel,
I was going to say the same thing... whats the big deal?

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2009 10:38AM]

Months after the G1....

Now T-Mobile just needs to get one out for the Blackberries and we're good to go!

I am so freakin glad! about time!

FINALLY! Jesus, it pisses me off it took this long. The fact that they have never made the website iPhone or even Moblie Browser ready is a joke. I would like to be happy about this, but it is way beyond overdue, and honestly, this is a situation where a Web-App might make more sense, then all the Mobile browsers could take advantage and not just the iPhone.

Switch to an Android device lol ;)
Things come out faster on Android...

Sprint had this along time ago through a link on your phone. You can pay your bill, check minutes, your plan...etc. Whats the big deal?

[Jakob Posted May 6th 2009 1:45AM]

That AT&T also supports that now? I guess..

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2009 1:52AM]

Some people are never happy, sigh...

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2009 1:46AM]

and i assume that app would only be for the phones AT&T sells and not for unlocked phones. right?

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2009 2:07AM]

are you kidding? t-mobiles had this 'my account' type of app since way back...it's called t-zones buddies. go look into it. and it works on blackberry's. where have you all been

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2009 3:17AM]

That reminds me to pay my T-Mobile bill.....yay for that handy app for the G1!

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2009 4:39AM]

waiting for an apple commercial that goes... say you had a phone, say that phone was turned and you didnt know how to pay your bill. we have an app for that...

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2009 12:47PM]

* turned on

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2009 10:11AM]

It'll be really fun do to all sort of account changes if someone just lose their phone and another person happens to pick it up right away hhahaha

[(Unverified) Posted May 6th 2009 12:41PM]

An app for this has been in the android market for a bit now. Very useful, though, when you want to pay your bill, it just takes you to the micro mobile site through the browser - could be more svelte than that.
