Re: How much does your iphone cost to use? - sekker - 03-05-2010 I have an iPhone and two normal phones on AT&T minimum family plan - costs around $105 a month. That's considerably less than I was paying for two Sprint phones three years ago - and without a 3G data plan. But the phone coverage was better with Sprint here in MN.

The only close to reasonable deal is if you have several people on a family plan. We pay $20/mo for unlimited texting on 4 phones with AT&T. I rarely use it, but the 3 iPhone users find it handy. I do like the Google text message service. Some of the smaller PCS carriers include unlimited texting in their unlimited plans. Sometimes I wonder if there is not collusion going on with the pricing of texting. It costs the carriers next to nothing to provide - even less than email for an ISP, as you can't keep messages on their server, and uses virtually no bandwidth. - W Re: How much does your iphone cost to use? - RgrF - 03-05-2010 $tevie wrote: So if you're stoned you get a higher rate? Re: How much does your iphone cost to use? - NewtonMP2100 - 03-05-2010 ....wow....never knew there were so many rich people here.....>$70 a month....? ....if the company is paying that is one thing but....for oneself.....? Re: How much does your iphone cost to use? - Speedy - 03-05-2010 Yes, seems like they cost an arm and a leg. Never had a cell phone so I suppose this is the typical rate?

Mine is $180 for two iPhones, shared minutes (I think 1400 but I forget, we're always under), data, and the unlimited texting plan. Re: How much does your iphone cost to use? - Mac1337 - 03-05-2010 I am never longer than 15 minutes away from my MacBook and a wireless connection. Razr is doing just fine. Re: How much does your iphone cost to use? - DRR - 03-05-2010 I also forgot to mention that we average spending about $5/month in apps, if you want to count that also. |
