iPhone Rate Plans

AT&T has announced three calling plans for the iPhone starting at $59.99 for 450 minutes and "unlimited" data. It only gives you 200 text messages (perhaps they are looking to make money there?), unlimited mobile-to-mobile calls, and a ton of night and weekend minutes (5,000 for the starter plan, unlimited for the other two).

AT&T is offering its current subscribers a $20 option to tack on the iPhone data plan. Here you can pay an extra $30 or $40 if you need more SMS.

FYI: iPhone goes on sale at 6:00 p.m. (local time) on Friday, June 29 and will be sold in the US through Apple’s retail and online stores and AT&T retail stores. iPhone will be available in a 4GB model for $499 (US) and an 8GB model for $599 (US), and will work with either a PC or Mac®. All iPhone monthly service plans are available for individuals and families and are based on a new two-year service agreement with AT&T. Individual plans are priced at $59.99 for 450 minutes, $79.99 for 900 minutes and $99.99 for 1,350 minutes. All plans include unlimited data (email and web), Visual Voicemail, 200 SMS text messages, roll over minutes and unlimited mobile-to-mobile and a one-time activation fee of $36.
