Reports AT&T (T) Telling Staff To Push Android, Windows Phones and NOT iPhone

Article Stock Quotes (5) Comments (0)

Boy Genius (BGR) reports that AT&T (NYSE: T) is telling its retail sales staff to pull back the reigns on the iPhone (Nasdaq: AAPL). Reports suggest management is requesting staff move customers toward Android (Nasdaq: GOOG) phones or Windows (Nasdaq: MSFT), including Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) Lumia 900.

Also, the actual staff has been no longer permitted to obtain iPhones and must select from other devices...apparently all to give consumers a 'more informed decision'.

However, other sources suggest that this may not be entirely new news and this process has slowly been taking practice over the past few months.
