AT&T seeing high demand for iPhone 3GS

Free stuff is always good, right? For those who would rather not spend a few hundred on getting the brand new iPhone 4S, and don’t mind getting the iPhone 3GS for free on contract for the next years it does seem like a pretty good deal. This sentiment seems to be shared by many of AT&T customers as AT&T’s CEO had stated in a conference call with analysts.

“We have another device that I think is going to dramatically change those people that are on smartphones and quick messaging devices, the [iPhone] 3GS, which is free with a 2-year contract. We’ve seen a tremendous, tremendous demand for that device even though it’s a generation old. And actually, we’re getting more new subscribers coming on the 3GS on the average than other devices. So we also have an inventory sold out on that device.”

Would you be willing to get an old phone on contract even if it was free?
