We have a family plan with AT&T. We'd have phones with them anyway, so the iPhone cost is really just the $30/month extra for the data plan. Probably a few extra dollars in fees, but I don't have the bill handy to check that. If you include the cost to add a line to the family plan its probably about $45/mo. each. We change voice plans periodically depending on the state of rollover minutes, but we'd be doing that whether we had iPhones or not.
I'd love to try the whole setup (three iPhones, four phones total) on T-Mobile, but we've got two iPhones under contract, and I am suspicious of coverage when we travel. Plus my wife, son and daughter would kill me for removing 3G coverage. EDGE is a lot slower. Much as I hate to say it, it's worth paying extra to AT&T to get 3G speeds.
Good luck.
