The iPhone 3G officially goes on sale. whether you are a current iPhone user who will be upgrading to the iPhone 3G you might have wondered what to do with your old iPhone.

AT&T is offering an option that might appeal to old iPhone users. AT&T will allow users to use the old iPhone as a Wi-Fi iPod. You can keep it yourself, hand it by to a family member, friend, or sell it on Ebay. Since you’ll be using the same number as used with your old iPhone the recipient will have to purchase another SIM card which they can purchase at a AT&T retail store. Users can use a new number or transfer an old number to the first generation iPhone.

I’m currently on vacation and there is a WI-Fi hotspot about a mile away from the waterfront condo where I’m residing with AT&T’s plan I would be able surf the World Wide Web and access my newsletter thanks to the WI-Fi connection. Even whether you aren’t near a Wi-Fi hotspot you can still listen to music, watch movies, and take pictures. That is one of the many things I find appealing about the iPhone is that it allows me to do more than send and receive calls.

It is critical to note that AT&T is recommending that users should upgrade their old iPhone to v2.0 before having them deactivated in moment for the July 11 release of the iPhone 3G. Apple Insider has listed steps on how to hand down your old iPod. Naturally, whether you aren’t planning on purchasing the iPhone 3G that won’t be essential.
