“Early adopters of Apple’s iPhone are getting their first service bills from AT&T — and some customers say they are so detailed they belong in libraries.
Justine Ezarik, a Pittsburgh graphic designer and active Internet blogger, got her first bill on Saturday. She says it was so huge — 300 pages — it was delivered in a box. AT&T detailed every text message and Internet use for her billing period. ‘This is so silly,’ she told USA TODAY. ‘There’s no reason they need to send you this much information,'” Jefferson Graham reports for USA Today.

Justine Ezarik and her AT&T iPhone bill:
KDSK-TV reports, “AT&T said that customers have three bill options and they don’t have to select one with all of the detail, which would save paper. Ezarik says she’ll use the online billing in the future.”

You can easily request paperless bills from AT&T Mobility online.
However, I think AT&T should have heavily promoted paperless billing prior to the launch. The northwest is probably completely stripped of trees now ready for paving.
300 pages? Jesus INDEED, or is that Jesus Phone?
Jesus iPhone or Jesus AT&T?
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
MDN word: “jesus” Like, “Jesus that’s a big phone bill!”
Actually, that’s AT&T’s little way of letting you know THAT THEY ARE RECORDING EVERYTHING YOU DO.
NSA, AT&T, Cisco, same difference. All BIG BROTHER.
Get used to it, you’ve lost your privacy.
Why? Because you gave up instead of standing up.
Is that your phone bill, or are you happy to see me!
I’ve never seen such a big ream in a box before
“Big Brother” my butt! You just have to know how to outsmart the machines! Yeah, Neo is one of my guys.
I’d love to give her box something.
You wouldn’t see a fugly iPhone user being interviewed about the bill.

30,000 texts in a month !!! thats alot (thats is incoming as well as out going)
That is a tasty blog snack!
No, this is not a problem! If Apple is involved then everything’s perfect! Users should be GRATEFUL for all the extra paper! If the bill is $100, that’s only 33¢ a sheet! Pogue is wrong!
She’s a very pretty girl…I’m not surprised she gets and makes a lot of calls.
wait she had 30,000 texts total?
I sure hope her boyfriend, if she has one, isn’t someone who likes piece and quite. Jeez, what a blabbermouth!
Another one of the “8%” who were not satisfied with iPhone because of AT&T’s customer service…
She’s the type of girl who, though intelligent, never needs to crack open a book to be successful in life. But 30,000 text messages in a single month–Jeez!! I bet her boyfriend feels neglected. Oops, or her girlfriend…uh, wow.
boy oh boy – she has luscious lips!
Silly Moo.
Yeow, like ‘pr’ says – can imagine she’s getting a LOT of ‘incoming’ calls/messages/whatever.
But – after doing some quick math from 2 years of my ATT/Cingular bills, which average about 40 pages a month and about 40-50 odd items per page – can figure this girl must spend ALL her time ON the phone, so she maybe doesn’t have much of a real life in the non-cyber world.
What a waste of young blonde bandwidth 🙁

@ MDN Take….
funny man… funny.
The Dude abides.
You thinking about something like this NSFW video?
She was a guest host on MacBreak Weekly this week (check out the podcast on the iTunes Store)
That’s a really nice box.
I’d like to hear her opinion on the usability of the iphone’s touch keyboard.
OMFG!
LOL!!!
Probably most of that was calls she was making to clients selling sex services.!
