I have 2 iPhones and 1 "dumb" phone on an AT&T Family Plan w/ 700 minutes and an employer discount. My bill is $178/month. Maybe he's on a higher minutes plan?
Got a tip for us?

verizon won't limit skype, they have a great relationship with skype with their droid phones
blackberry has been making phones since years , with CDMA + GSM both in one. is this not going to be the case here? that means no sim card option at all?
wow, you sound like an antenna expert! Maybe you shouldve been on the design team!
Question
I don't think for AT&T customers, the lack of voice/data at the same time will be an issue. My calls get cut off before I have the chance to use the web...but question about the Mi-fi....how much of a battery does it kill? The iphone battery isn't a real gem to begin with.

A WiFi hotspot sounds good until you have to disconnect to make or receive a call. No thanks!
Make your call with Skype
Just don't plan on making/receiving calls during critical downloads. I'd hate to begin a 100 mb file transfer, have it stopped (via a voice call) and then start over again....there goes all my megabytes!
oooh ok well that makes since...i just was wondering i wasnt sure if when using the internet or hotspot and you get a call or text it will just send you to voicemail or just receive the text whenever you get off the internet you know. cant wait to have this
Because everyone who was waiting for a white iPhone gave up long ago and settled for a black one.
I actually still try to understand if there are two different iPhones or one with both CDMA & GSM. However if you have both you are suppose to use one network or the other, so... I don't know what you are saying...
why fail?
In four years of owning iPhones I never, not a single time used the internet while I was talking on the phone.
As long as calls get priority and interrupt the internet use so that I don't miss calls there is no difference to what I do now. So again why is this a fail?
I watched the leak video a few days ago, and although the break points are the same as the Verizon iPhone released today, there was also a SIM card slot that they emphasized was in the same position as the current iPhone.
This would mean that although similar to what was released today, the leak is probably the next GSM iPhone. Which leads some suspicion to Tim Cook saying the break points are due to the CDMA network (not antenna gate).

People are automatically assuming iPhone 5 will be for Verizon too... I seriously doubt that will be the case. I think AT&T will continue to get the June/July Launch, while Verizon will have a non-event catchup in January. It makes absolutely no sense to release iphone 5 in 6 months and piss off all these newly happy Verizon iphone users.
I wouldnt be surprised if we dont see another verizon iPhone until June 2012, and from that point launch them side by side. The fact that no comment was made on whether the Verizon iphone would get a yearly refresh indicates that this is a test of their network and customer feedback. Then if all goes well then the next launch will be LTE in 2012.
