All Plans Include Unlimited Data & Visual Voicemail

ATLANTA and CUPERTINO, California-June 26, 2007-AT&T Inc. and Apple® today announced three simple, affordable service plans for iPhoneT which start at just $59.99 per month. All three plans include unlimited data, Visual Voicemail, 200 SMS text messages, roll-over minutes and unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling. With everything else already included, iPhone customers can easily choose the plan that's right for them based on the amount of voice minutes they plan to use each month. In addition, iPhone customers can choose from any of AT&T's standard service plans.

"AT&T has the largest voice and data network in America, the largest mobile-to-mobile calling community and the fewest dropped calls," said Randall Stephenson, chairman and CEO, AT&T. "AT&T has invested more than 16 billion dollars in its wireless network between 2005 and 2007, and iPhone customers will enjoy the best voice and data network in the nation."

"We want to make choosing a service plan simple and easy, so every plan includes unlimited data with direct Internet access, along with Visual Voicemail and a host of other goodies," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We think these three plans give customers the flexibility to experience all of iPhone's revolutionary features at affordable and competitive prices."

All iPhone plans include Visual Voicemail, an industry first, which allows consumers to see a listing of their voicemails, decide which messages to listen to, then go directly to those messages without listening to previous messages. Just like email, Visual Voicemail on iPhone enables users to immediately and randomly access the messages that interest them most. Unlike most wireless plans that charge additional fees for new features, there are no additional fees for Visual Voicemail.

iPhone introduces an entirely new user interface based on a revolutionary multi-touch display and pioneering new software that allows users to control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers. iPhone combines three products into one small and lightweight handheld device-a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod®, and the Internet in your pocket with best-ever applications on a mobile phone for email, web browsing and maps. iPhone ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, which completely redefines what users can do on their mobile phones.

Just their data plan alone normally runs about $40 a month which is too steep for me.

I can't see myself purchasing a data plan more than the 20/mo i pay now.

I don't like it when the company's restrict you to a certain plan just because of the capabilities of the phone.

So get an unlocked phone and get the unlimited data plan for any carrier.

That's all you need really.

But of course if you can afford it. i would still keep the 20/mo plan and give the remainder to me. :)

or donate it.

This is from Sprint same price as AT&T you get 100 more messages with Sprint but you don't get the rollover minutes from Sprint. The vision pack is unlimited data.

Looks comparable to me
