AT&T talks iPhone 3G plans, apps

Okay So how much would I pay if I bought a 8 GB IPhone 3G with a family plan and I wanted unlimited texting?

hi i am looking forward to purches i phone. my question is iphone is unlock or not? i mean to say that if i get the moble frm USA i can able to u in saudi arebia or not.thanks.mmateen4u@yahoo.com

What if you already have AT&T? What will it cost then? I have 1400 shared minutes. Unlimited N&W and Unlimited Mobile to Mobile and Unlimited Texting. What is it going to cost for me to get the iPhone 3G?

That is why Apple should make the phone once more a GoPhone, like the first one. Buy it for 400$ and unlock it. No agreement, no nothing. That would be our revenge :D

You can send text messages free through some online 3rd party software, so technically, you wouldnt have to add sms texting...

Well, I'm glad to see people here aren't being fooled by AT&T's bull****.

Yeah, I remember when I thought $20 for data was ridiculous, ESPECIALLY since the reason why AT&T charged $20 is because it's a 3G network, but iPhone didn't support 3G.

From what I can tell, it seems like AT&T is trying to justify this because it's a new 3G data plan instead of an EDGE plan which is an outright lie.

That's why I basically call for a boycott of iPhone 3G until something changes. Has nothing to do with Apple.

but hey, my current iPhone works great anyway. who needs 3G? Screw AT&T.

I don't get it. i'm paying for one of the shared family plan lines $20 for data nad sms, it's a samsung blavkjack and uses 3G network. AT&T, come on, I think I"ll wait for this one.

So let me get this straight, you must pay for a 3G data plan (unless you don't want a data plan) no matter what? Only a very very very small part of the country is actually 3G covered.

What about those of us that are not in an area covered by 3g. Why should we have to pay for a faster network that we cant use. Thats messed up.

What burns me about this is that my husband is a current user and we want to get a second phone for me and possibly upgrade his. It looks like both he and I are going to end up paying $10/month for 3G service that doesn't exist in the town that we live in. That's $240/year we will be paying for the 3G service when 99% of the time we will be on EDGE.

They are forcing me to pay for what is in essence a premium service they don't offer where I live (or in about half of this country) if I want an iPhone. THAT'S NUTS.
