Hello,

I currently own an iPod Touch, and love it. I'm not much of a phone user (I use my current phone MAYBE 20 mins a month), but I would love to have a mobile camera, and have everything all in one without having to haul both my ipod and phone.

It looks like the cheapest plan is $69.99/mo, is this correct?

yes, but what I did was got a used 1st gen iphone (you could probably find one sealed on ebay) and then unlocked it with the pwnage tool (really easy), then, I got the cheapest "pick your plan" from at&t for $30 a month. Then I added unlimited data (they call it medianet) for $20 and I was good to go. BTW: with this, you also don't have to be tied to a 2 year contract.
 
The way I read that is it is after the first 2 phones though correct? If my family only has 2 cell phones(both Iphones) the cheapest plan is $129, do I understand this correct?

No. The first line is regular price, the second would be $10 + $30 data plan.

I have two 3G phones on the family plan and my monthly price comes to $153 for 700 minutes shared.
