So if I have two iphones on a family plan, will both phones have a 2gb limit, or will they share the 2gb? Anyone know how ATT will handle this?
Got a tip for us?

Family Talk Plan
Yes, it does exist. It's on the ATT site on a consumer fact sheet:

Only if you purchase the $30 family unlimited text plan. Otherwise, the 200 text or 1500 texts are just for the specific iPhone.
Wow thanks so much for that PDF, it helps a bunch and explains everything. The person earlier is right that there is no FAMILY data plan, although the PDF makes it seem like there is, Look:
AT&T DataPlus (2Lines) Gets You
500 Anytime Minutes, Unltd Mobile/Nights&Wknds
200MB Per Month
For $89.99
It looks like a family plan, but they are still charging you $15 for each line for Data.

Okay maybe I'm missing a Friday but I would assume "total voice and data" means the price of voice AND data. That's how it reads to me. I mean it says
"+ AT&T DataPro (2 lines)".

That's exactly what incindium is saying; maybe you should re-read his post for better comprehension.
He clearly states: "voice and data prices listed are with data plans charged for each line." That CLEARLY means there is not a "shared" data plan to which the OP was referring.
All they have done is added the cost of 2 DataPro plans to the cost of the family talk time. It looks like a family data plan, but it is not. If you add another line with data they will add $10 for the line and the associated cost of the data plan.
Okay, fine. I am not going to argue semantics. Whatever you want to call it.
Bottom line is I understand the charges. I understand each phone gets it's own 2GB cap. Asked this somewhere else. So for my example for datapro 700 min it would be if I am right
2 phones
119 plan
30 texting
Each additoinal phone
10 phone
25 plan
Connection fees? Any other fee's I need to factor in? Insurance (if I want it)
Not to mention my ETF's with Verizon. Have disliked Verizons business tactics for a while and am tired of my LG dare.

Yes there are generally $36 per line activation fees, can easily be waived if you buy your iPhones through a retail AT&T store. Apple employees will not be able to get those fees waived.
No but your first montly service bill will include a partial month (average 10-25 days dending on the billing date the is assigned by the system) of service based on the date of activation + a full month of service + any activation fee ($36) or upgrade fee ($18).
That first bill can be quite a shock. Start saving now....
