How is posting on a forum and waiting for replies from non-AT&T employees helpful in anyway?
Pick up the phone, call your local store and ask. You'll get all your questions answered in a few minutes.

I'll break down my phone bill to make it a bit less confusing for you...
* $69.99 for 450 anytime rollover minutes w/ unlimited mobile to mobile and unlimited data (you have to get unlimited data w/ the iPhone).
* $15.00 for 1500 text messages
* $36.00 activation fee which you have to pay the first month
* Add about $20 for state and local taxes and a 911 fee
* Add another $10 for some service charges and AT&T surcharges
...your first months bill will end up being around $150 (because they prorate it) and after that about $100 (if you get 450 minutes and 1500 text messages)
IMPORTANT: if you're a college student, TELL THEM...I get 15% off my bill every month because of it, it saved me $14 off of my first bill . or if your dad is a federal government employee you can also get a discount.
If the phone is going under your dad's name you will only have to pay $199 + tax up front for the phone as long as he has a decent credit score. if you are paying you will have to pay more (which could be as much as a couple hundred dollars extra) assuming you don't have any credit because you're only 17.
sorry for the long post, just trying to be as helpful as i can.

The cheapest plan will cost you $74.99 before taxes and government fees, and that's after the first month, since there is a $36 activation fee.
$39.99 (450/mo + 5000 nights & weekends)
$5.00 (200 text messages; $15 for 7500; $20 for unlimited)
$30.00 (Unlimited Data plan for iPhone)
=
$74.99

Huh?
OP, does your ISP charge you per character used? Christ man, use text shortcuts when texting, not on a damn internet forum.
Oh, and if you have to ask about how expensive this all is, you probably can't afford it. You're 17 and still can't buy a cell phone on your own? Get a job.
