i recently bought an unlocked iPhone - now using it with T-Mobile. I love it so much i am thinking about switching to AT&T altogether. Trying to figure out how much my monthly bill may be. Right now i pay around 120 a month for unlimited calls, text, and internet. If there are any users with a similar plan for AT&T i am interested in how much you are paying.

I also heard a rumor that Verizon will be working with iPhones next year - maybe they will be cheaper?

Monthly Service Charges $89.99
Usage Charges $0.00
Credits/Adjustments/Other Charges $7.19
Government Fees & Taxes $6.82
TOTAL CURRENT CHARGES $104.00
Total Amount Due $104.00

$70-$75
450min
200 txt
 
how do you guys do the 200/1000 txt limit? man my line alone does 4500+ a month.. granted i dont talk on the phone much unless its for school or what not but still 200 msg is NOTIHNG seeing as that is both in/out
 
60.00 for att plan, 10.00 for my wife's 3g, 30.00 unlimited family text, 60.00 for 2 iphone data plans plus all the bs fees/taxes. So around 170.00 give or take
Just checked att site.... $173.51 for 2 iphones.
 
2 iPhones
700 minutes
Unlimited texting on 1 iPhone
It's 149.99 without tax
Pricey. My T-Mobile plan with two lines and 700 minutes was around 75 without tax, of course without any data plans. But it would still be cheaper if it was on T-Mobile

Not likely that Verizon will have the iPhone next year or support it. Since nobody actually answered your specific configuration.

$99 - Unlimited voice rate plan
$30 - iPhone data plan
$30 - Unlimited SMS Txt plan
Total: $159 + Taxes... :eek:

One other big thing, for me anyway, is you will actually be able to use 3g if you go with att. :D

I don't have an unlimited call plan but thanks to 2k rollover minutes, that would satisfy if ever I did go over my 450 minute plan :p

I pay $70 with taxes: 650 minutes out of which 200 is free, 750 SMS, and an iPhone data plan. (premier customer)
 
2 iPhones + family plan unlimited texting + 2 data plans + 700 minutes a month w/rollover minutes = 139.72 before taxes and fees

with UPS' FAN discount
 
450 minutes
1500 texts
unlimited data

$71 a month with my state employee discount

I never come close to using all of my minutes or texts. I think I already have around 400 rollover minutes.
 
I don't have the exact numbers, but I have unlimited texting with (said amount) of minutes. My fathers iPhone 3G is also factored into the plan, so it comes out around 170-190$ a month.

That's actually $10 too high since Unlimited Messaging for one line is $20. $30 is for the family plan. Now, you're still probably going to be around that price with taxes and everything (one poster above pretty much posted his bill with unlimited everything).

Where you can save real money is if you qualify for a FAN account (based on your corporation or school).
 
$103.00

900 Minutes
1500 Text
iPhone Data
FAN Discount

Never go over my minutes, as I have no service in my office, so I use SKYPE over WiFi to make all calls during the day.

Nearly everyone I know prefers either e-mail or AIM.

Counting both in and out I used 115 text messages this moth.
 
National Account 450 minutes, iPhone data plan, 200 texts a month, $70.00 after taxes. I get a $14.00 corporate discount for it.

But I don't pay my bill. :p

Set up an email account that you use only for texting. It may not be as convenient but I have had no problems with that so far. All I am going to pay is 60 bucks a month, plus tax. Plus, I probably will have a decent amount of rollover after this first month, so that helps when it comes to if I need more minutes or not.
