I currently use T-Mobile, just wanted to know if your using AT&T for your iPhone 3G..how much do you end up paying a month for your iPhone 3G on a normal basis? Also what is your bill consisted of as far as the voice/data plans go.

And if you use T-Mobile for it, then you can submit as well how much you normally pay for your iPhone 3G :D

Reason being is because I'm wondering myself if having the iPhone 3G for T-Mobile is more of a hassle since you cannot use 3G. Thank you!
 
I have 450 rollover minutes, unlimited data, 1500 text messages and my bill ends up being $89 and some change every month.

I use my iphone on t-mobile. I have the 39.99 myfaves 300, and the 5.99 t-mobile web add-on, and the 14.99 unlimited messaging bundle (pics, sms, email),
 
me and the gf have a family plan. since release date weve accumulated over 1000 roll over minutes, 700 minutes, unlimited txt and the 3g data on each. its about $80 for each of us.

weve (she has) gone over the monthly minutes once every couple months, but the security blanket of our roll over minutes saved us from a large fee.

Thats a pretty good price if your using AT&T, are you using the 15% discount? Or is it just cheaper to have the iPhone 3G on family plan rather than individual?
 
5$ a month for voice service - no minutes included/0.01$ per minute
5$ a month for 1GB 3G data plan
that includes unlimited minutes to same provider (0.01$ opening charge/call)
and 3000 SMS per month to any provider

Perfect for me. :)

id say the price is pretty similar to what it would be if i had a seperate account.
the 700 minutes needs to be divided upon the people on the plan. technically i only have "rights" to 350 minutes a month. this is because the gf has "rights" to the other 350.

of course there is a little push and shove (she uses an average 500 minutes). but i dont mind. i dont have much to talk about during the day since im at work and can be contacted via email anyway. free nights and weekends make up most of my talk time.

if you were to find a plan on at&t for an individual (i think they might offer 400 min as an option?) you will see a similar price range.

i do not have any kind of discount, but you can get some money off each bill by referring family and friends to at&t. ive brough over my father, and within this year we will bring over the rest of the members of our families.

at&t is much more pricey when it comes to unlimited txt and data plans when put up against t-mobile, but in some cases, the prices work themselves out. the roll over minutes make up for anything tmobile can offer in prices...if that makes sense to you.
 
On AT&T Family plan with my wife (she does not have iPhone, I do). With 550 minutes a month plan - we pay about $120/month.

$140 a month for 2 3G iPhones. 700 min family plan. Only one phone has texting and it is the 1000 text plan. It should be more but I work for a school system...
 
I'm on Rogers in Canada.

MY5 Canada Wide
350 daytime minutes
2,500 text messages

p.s. has anyone gone over the 6GB data limit? I've only used 1.8GB since July 11th and I browse like crazy.

-250 local minutes (billed by the second)
-unlimited evening/weekends

Oh and that price is fixed, there is no monthly access fee, so it's $66 straight, not $66 + the access fee which ends up being $71 or so!
 
I don't have an iPhone but if I did then I'd be on prepay, which would probably cost me around US$20/month.
