The data went up 10 bucks for the 3G

your plan would cost you 109.99 for the 3G

Good to know. I wonder what the next version of the iPhone is gonna do to pricing then. I hope it stays the same as I am wanting to get the next model.

What has changed regarding the calling plans?

I have 900 anytime minutes for $59.99 per month. I have unlimited data and unlimited texts for an additional $40.00 per month for a grand total of $99.99. I don't find this unreasonable at all.

Is there going to be some sort of insane price increase for the new iPhone that I am unaware of?

Fill me in. I'm really curious now.

My iPhone is a year and a half old.

My plan: 450 min., 5000 nights, 200 texts, unlimited web, $40 + $20 = $60

Current 3G plan: 450 min., 5000 nights, 200 texts, unlimited web, $70 + $5 = $75

I'm just saying I don't care for this trend. The original plan included the texts in with your minutes for $40. The $20 was for the unlimited internet access which makes the iPhone usable. The current plans do not include any text messaging and start at $70! 200 texts are $5 and unlimited is $20. I would like to see at&t trend the opposite way by lowering all their packages. Their "all you can eat" package is $130 when I think everyone else is offering that for $100?

Grats on your iPhone, the price point for calling and data is about the same as spring and verizon, yada yada yada.

so long as this thread is here I suggest anyone using an ATT iphone get the free Cell Minute Tracker app, you enter in some info and get a free registration at PageOnce and then you can see your ATT billing info and usage stats, I use it and it works really well. I suggest you get it now because it normally cost 99 cents, itʻs currently on sale for free. enjoy your iPhone

Just bought two iPhones, I put them on a shared 1400 minute plan for $150.00 per month. I was paying $69.00 for each of the old phones with Nextel. Not sure if the minutes are enough but all ATT calls are free and if any time is left it will roll over. We'll see how it works out.

How do you roll over unlimited minutes?

If they did you would only have to pay for minutes once a year.

Decided 1400 minutes isn't enough, changed to 2100 for $20.00 more.
Unlimited is $260.00 a month for two phones.

I wish the text messages rolled over, that would be neat

I don't understand how my $80 plan, without going over on any features, is actually a $140 plan with taxes and surcharges. Shouldn't it be called a $140 plan?

Well they break it all down for you so you can see where your money is going. Ain't no way $60 is going to taxes and surcharges. Are you including the unlimited data in your $80 number? Text messaging? What else ya got?
