With iPhone stock dwindling to near-bare levels and completely unavailable in some places, AT&T has started to cut back on bulk iPhone purchases. AT&T has announced that customers can purchase a maximum of one iPhone per person – and all transactions will require a credit or debit card.

According to an internal AT&T memo, “Effective May 14, 2008, customers can only purchase one iPhone at AT&T stores. The prior limit of three iPhones is no longer in effect.”

AT&T iPhone purchase limited to one per person

So, if you’re in the market for a handful of iPhones, you will have to make do with buying them up one at a time and with a pre-paid debit card. But, with most of us waiting for the 3G iPhone to drop, we can’t imagine many people are too miffed at the prospect of and iPhone buying-limit.
