New AT&T unlimited talk plan for iPhones

"Nonetheless, if you're a big talker (and don't live in Alaska)" or Montana or Wyoming or .....

Yeah this changed like last week.

Hi

Does anybody know if your contract "resets" itself if you bump up to another plan?

If I went from 450 -> 900 would my start date for the 24 month contract reset from 8/2007 to 3/2008?

Thanks in Advance

I have the 900 minutes plan. $79.99. With all the other crap they tack on to the bill, my monthly charges run $99 to $106 (latest bill). Should I assume the unlimited plan would cost me more like $155 per month once all the taxes and surcharges were tacked on?

Not that I'd ever do it, I'm carrying 5000 roll over mins, which shows I clearly overestimated my iPhone primetime voice minutes, but I'd really like to see advertised rates be somewhere close to what the bill would actually come in at, not some lowball figure that doesn't include a list of govt and ATT charges as long as my arm.

What would really interest me is if they started offering corporate discounts on the iPhone. With my razr, AT&T gave me a 25% corporate discount on my plan. They actually continued to give it to me on the iPhone switch for a couple of months, but then cut it off, as unauthorized for iPhone. I wonder if they'll be offering it back when corporate plans are back in play.

what i am curious about... is in their new TV commercials, they say unlimited text to Family Plan members. Does this also apply to iPhone customers, or are we on some 'special' family plan that doesn't apply?

I had signed up for the initial 1350 plan when I got my iPhone at the beginning of February but since I use my phone as my office I could see it wasn't going to work so they actually lost money on me since I was about to go to the 2000 minutes plan.

I looked at the family plan and it was nuts. It was like $199 for the first phone and then $99 for each phone after that and it would have ended up being cheaper to have individual unlimited plans (not too unexpected) but since the wife uses her phone MUCH less then me a lower minute plan with rollover works great for her.

In preparing for my first iPhone sometime this year (basically waiting for the next major phone announcement) I was pretty stunned to see these plans being nerfed so badly. On regular AT&T Family Plans, my girlfriend and I could switch over from Sprint. Now, however, it will be cheaper for me to have my own plan because of the ridiculous iPhone pricing (come on, 200 SMS?!).

Actually, the price for Unlimited was $99, not $119. My total plan is now only $128 with unlimited voice and data. w00000t!!!

I don't want unlimited, I want MORE limited! On a heavy month I use 50 minutes of talk time, but the lowest level I can buy is 450 minutes/month. How about, say, a 200 minute level?

I just compared this to my current plan and I actually save .01 cent over the new faimly plan. We have 4 iphones unlimited text and 450 mins. I will admitt that we would get more minutes by moving up but based on the number of roll over minutes we have left it is not cost effective at this time.
