Hold on a sec, so if i wanted unlimited data and texts it would be $50 a month before even talking about minutes?

Yep! How does that fit with the tag line "Twice as Fast, Half the Price?"

450 Minutes with data & unlimited text = $90 before tax
900 Minutes with data & unlimited text = $110.00 before tax

Bend over.....this will only hurt a little.
 
You could always sign on AIM (http://meebo.com) or a similar site...add the phone number of the person you want to text (+15559880000) and then send them messages that way. They would be able to reply to your message too and it would be sent through data not SMS.

Ok, so can anyone confirm that the texting plan that comes standard for the 3g iPhone is the lame 200 texts? That seriously is a slap in the face to consumers especially because the iPhone is a texting powerhouse. If thats the case, could you possibly add another 200 texts? Since with the old iPhone wasn't the 200 text considered part of the plan and not an extra? Also-- Someone needs to make a good internet based text message application if that is possible... I know my dad will occasionally shoot me a text via some website...

Everyone...AT&T has not announced the pricing plans for the iPhone 3g!! That said, I strongly believe that there will be texts included, like the old plan has. If it doesn't then that will make it really hard for me, and lots of people I know to justify the extra monthly expense of the new iPhone 3g. Texts cost the carriers hundredths of a cent each to send. They would be foolish not to at least tack on the 200 messages, as the extra $10 a month cost is already a kick in the pants. 200 messages is usually enough for most of the people I know who are my age who are in their early to mid 20's and missed out on the big texting boom. My sister, who is just 4 years younger than me needs thousands of texts and never removes her thumbs from her crappy T-Mobile phone all day long. I just don't understand it, but for most people my age who are young professionals exiting college we don't need that many texts and we are more likely to purchase the new iPhone. I know its not the case for everyone my age but its better than nothing and makes the transition much smoother and easier to justify IMO.

I will be graduating college next summer, and EVERYONE my age at school texts like crazy. I do about 1800 a month, and people think I don't text that much.

200 texts is a damn insult.
 
Same here. I sent anywhere between 7,000-10,000 texts a month. Everyone I know texts like crazy too.

you did know that you can talk on those things huh? wow! thats alot of texts. I just wish i could add a $10 or $15 text plan to a family plan and share them between the lines instead of each phone having to have its own seperate rate plan. give me 1500 for $10 and id be happy
