AT&T announced its first prepaid smartphone (GoPhone), the LG Thrive and a post-paid version of the same phone named the LG Phoenix. Prepaid GoPhone customers can choose from new data packages with no long-term commitment required.

Both smartphones feature a 3.2 inch color full-touch display, Android 2.2 platform, Exchange email support, unlimited Wi-Fi usage on the entire national AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spot network and a 3.2-megapixel camera.

In addition to providing access to applications and contacts, AT&T is introducing a new prepaid data package with the LG Thrive, offering 500 MB of data for $25. Each of the following options are available to customers who choose the Smartphone $0.10/min Plan or Smartphone $2/day Unlimited Talk and Text Plan. Prepaid customers who choose a smartphone like the LG Thrive must choose a data package in order to use data services.

  • $25 for 500MB (new)
