Maybe I should show them the same courtesy and let them scratch my back and shave my ass...]]>Mar 9th 2008 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/
I hope your joking right? The cheapest plan is nowhere near enough. I would eat up all of those minutes within a couple of weeks and be charged with a huge bill in overage charges.]]>Mar 9th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/

But if $120/mo gets you almost -unlimited- everything, you'd think the cheapest plan would still be a lot cheaper than $60/mo. At least by comparison, my old AT&T rate was $40/mo and included only 450min (no data, no text, no rollover).]]>Mar 9th 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 10th 2008 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 8:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/
-Unlimited Text Messaging
-Unlimited Data
-450 minutes, 5000 nights and weekends (around 1000 or so on rollover right now for free use)
-Visual Voicemail... blah blah, etc...

Then again, most of the people I'm talking with have AT&T, so my minutes aren't really used up. Viola. What I believe to be the perfect cell-phone plan.]]>Mar 9th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Oh snap.

Why do they assume that all mobile phone users are heavy talkers? Some of just carry a cell phone for those occasions when we don't have access to a landline or need to make an emergency call. I might make a total of five short calls a week, and rarely, if ever, use text messaging. I would, however, like the features of the iPhone, and the capability to use it as an all-in-one device for those times when I *do* need a cell phone, iPod, or PDA-like device.

They're missing out on a lot of people by making their lowest plan that price. I have absolutely no incentive to switch from my cheap-ass Virgin Mobile plan, and I know I'm not the only one who doesn't live on the damn phone. I'm telling you: $20 is the magic number.

I'm... assuming because the majority of people do not, in fact, carry around a cellphone to have the features of a PDA. That's what they make PDAs for. You sir, seem to be a very happy exception.

As for the guy with the Verizon plan, Matt?

I actually get service almost anywhere.]]>Mar 9th 2008 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/I pay $43 a month for 400 minutes (To people outside of Verizon), unlimited night & weekends, 5000 texts to people outside of Verizon and unlimited picture/text messages to people in Verizon. I don't want/need data because there are wifi hotspots all over where I work, attended college, and at home.
:D I'm very happy with my plan and won't change it for anything.]]>Mar 9th 2008 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/

Oh and unlimited data and calls for $119??? I'd pay that in a sec. 200 texts only? Whatever email is better and if you're business, most people have smartphones anyways. Text is useful but really not that essential. ]]>Mar 9th 2008 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 10th 2008 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/atandt-iphones-get-an-unlimited-calling-plan/Mar 9th 2008 8:02PM
