AT&T and the 3G iPhone by the numbers (service fees)
The 3G iPhone comes out bright and early at 8 a.m. on July 11.
You’ve all heard about the price: $199 for 8 gigabyte model; $299 for 16 gigs. That’s with a 2-year contract. In the future, AT&T says it will offer a no-contract-required option for $599 (8 gigs) and $699 (16 gigs), but it hasn’t said when.
Below is the list of AT&T Mobility’s service charges I pulled from FierceWireless.com: LINK
AT&T NationSM Unlimited: Unlimited anytime minutes for $129.99 a month. AT&T Nation 1350: 1350 anytime minutes and unlimited night and weekend minutes for $109.99 a month. AT&T Nation 900: 900 anytime minutes and unlimited night and weekend minutes for $89.99 a month. AT&T Nation 450: 450 anytime minutes and 5,000 night and weekend minutes for $69.99 a month.
AT&T also will offer its “FamilyTalk” plans, with bundled voice and unlimited data (email and Web browsing), starting at $129.99 a month for two iPhone 3G lines. Up to three additional iPhone lines can be added for $39.99 each.
Existing AT&T customers pay $399 (8 gigs) and $499 (16 gigs) if they’re not eligible for an upgrade discount. They also pay an upgrade fee of $18 while new customers pay $36.
That should give you something to think about before buying.
