To make the iPhone shopping experience smooth minus the long waiting and purchasing process for its customers, AT&T has announced new online accounts for them.

The carrier has announced that now the prospective iPhone users can set up their accounts with AT&T online and do a pre-qualifying credit check and make sure whether their existing phone number is eligible to be ported to AT&T’s service. This can be done by logging in to http://www.att.com/iphone. Customers already using AT&T service can use the new service/ account to set up a new line for their iPhone.

After going through the setup process, customers can directly go to the nearest shops to purchase Apple’s popular touch screen 3G iPhone and finish the process in the retail store.

The latest procedure of online accounts for the from AT&T comes in time of the holiday season that is setting in, cashing on the popularity of the phone in a systematic way and ensuring higher sales. The phone is supposedly in the second best selling phone in US with the first being Motorola’s Moto Razr.
