$30 Data Plan is per phone right?

Yes, the $30 plan is per iPhone, so if you have 3 iPhones, that'll be $90/month.

so i am looking at 90, plus the 60 for the cheapest plan +1 phone, and then 15 for the 1500 texts. so 165 right? before taxes
 
I have 2 iphones with data and 3 other phones with unlimited mesaging and it is $250 a month
 
$60 for 550 minutes (First line)
$30 for the data for first line
$9.99 for second line
$30 data for second line
$9.99 for third line
$30 data for third line.

Plus taxes.

So that's about $195 after taxes and such.

EDIT: Forgot the texts, that's another $15. So about $210 after taxes.
 
I am flabbergasted by the prices for the plans on the iphones. I am even more flabbergasted by how many people can afford this. $200 a month is alot!

I think I will stick to the ipod touch for now :<

There's no $9.99 for the second line. A family plan assumes 2 lines - it's $9.99 for each line past two. (Proof)

So $200 after taxes.

I agree. Pricing is keeping it out of this business users hands at the moment. I had to dump my iPhones and get Pre's for now as Sprint is $100 + per month less with the exact same plan.

3.0 was a nice update, but significant plan reductions would have been better.
 
We have two iPhone lines and the 200 text package on each (use textfree for most my texts) with my 20 percent FAN discount my bill this month was 110.
 
I guess it depends on your situation.
For me, the price is well worth it. Having the mobile internet has been incredibly helpful--especially since I get lost on a seemingly regular basis. Because free wifi in Dallas isn't prevalent, I can't just fire up the wifi to access the internet.
Also, I ditched my landline years ago (2003/2004).

I pay about $70 a month 450 minutes (With Roll over everybody forgets about at&t rover minutes) unlimited Data 250 text which is plenty for me.I had Sprint I hated them because of there customer service. Sorry when I call support I want somebody that speaks good English. oh and no fan discounts here.

I have 3000 minutes, three Pre's and one flip phone and my bill is 150+tax. Way better for business users. AT&T fails in the plan pricing department.

I miss my iPhones and will come back when AT&T gets realistic about pricing.
 
All I can say is AT&T and iPhone is not a cheap solution in any way; you'll be looking to spend a lot of money…

Currently I'm spending about $140 :)mad:) after my 22% FAN discount.

And it's just a piece of the pie if you're living on your own and/or have a family to support.

A lot of us also have another $130+ monthly for cable and home broadband. Add $50+ for a landline (especially if you're older and remember being caught without it).

Easily close to $5,000 a year just for communications. Add even more for those with larger families.

It's insane, I tell ya. Before cell phones, cable and broadband, we all used a $15 a month landline (and avoided long distance), and TV rabbit ears.

It is insane, but people also have this idea that they NEED a lot of things that they really don't. I'll concede that having non-dial up internet and a cell phone of some sort are all-but "necessary" in modern America, but past that, people could be getting by with a lot less than they are - we just don't want to.
 
I couldn't believe that AT&T doesn't offer discounts on multiple iPhone data plans.

I was considering getting an iPhone for my wife, but sheesh... $60 a month for data? I pay less than that for a 30Mbps DSL connection that I'll pull dozens of GB over in a month.

I'll probably do a gig or less on my iPhone in a month...

I will agree to the main portion of your post. I wiould also like to say IF AT&T allowed full teathering support at the current price point and eliminated txt fees, they might shut some of the complaints down.

However, AT&T will continue this greedy path until the consumer squeels. I am a hugw iPhone fan and supporter. Unless more of us take the stand against AT&T, high rates will stay.
 
damn those voice plans have really gone up. My 1000 minute a month plan with unlimited nights and weekends, unlimited mobile to mobile and rollover is only $34
