The Trend Continues, iPhone Gets Unlimited Voice Plan
Another day, another new unlimited plan here in the US. One would think carriers might wait a while to better understand the impact that unlimited plans have on their business but hey, let’s not get all crazy with logic and such. Every iPhone plan offered by AT&T already comes with unlimited data of course (thank you Apple) and now customers can bathe in voice minutes as well. $120 per month and a new 2-year contract will now hook your iPhone up with all-you-can-eat voice, data and according to the chart above from Apple’s site, rollover minutes. How one might roll unlimited minutes over onto unlimited minutes escapes us, but apparently it’s possible. What the new plan won’t afford you is unlimited texting; you’ll still need to purchase an SMS plan on top of your $120 to enjoy more than 200 texts per month. Since SMS is such a new and expensive technology, of course it stands to reason that unlimited SMS would be omitted from this new unlimited offering. Wait, no, that’s not true at all…

Good to see that ATT will compete even with the iphone.
I have 3 coworkers that were waiting to make sure they can get this plan when they buy the phone.

This doesn’t make sense. Today almost everyone texts so I don’t understand why sms and mms were not included. Off topic, the prices look like crap. I don’t have an iPhone so I didn’t know wat you guys were paying but looks like your being ripped off. This is why I will never get an iPhone until the exclusive contract is up and I can get one at Tmobile.

If I’m on the unlimited plan for March, and then switch to a limited plan in April, do I get to rollover my unlimited minutes from March to April?

That’s the main reason I hate AT&T. They are really stingy about text and picture messaging. I know it’s not available now, but I have the best messaging plan on T-Mobile: $9.99 unlimited SMS and MMS for the entire family, which means each of us are only charged for ~$2.50 for unlimited. The only good thing AT&T is for is for roaming heh.

Yea, they have the texts set at 200 to force you to upgrade and pay more money for a better texting plan. The unlimited texting plan on AT&T is $20.

Lenny what do you know about being rich. If look at most celebs, most of them have AT&T. The phone carrier that you have has nothing to do with how much money you are worth.

I have the exact same plan, I have 3 phones all with unlimited SMS and MMS for 9.99, but even now I think the price is about 14.99 for unlimted for the family. People say this over and over, but Tmobile knows how to treat their customers.

Not really worth it to me. Sprint’s unlimited data is only $15/month and I don’t use my phone during weekdays enough to need unlimited voice as I already have nights and weekends free. I pay like $5 for 500 texts or whatever so that’s cool. I just Pay about $60/month after taxes and use WMWiFiRouter to use my phone as an access point for my lappy. No expensive cards and I get Rev A. EVDO which beats the crap out of those NSA wiretappers at AT&T and Verizon.

You guys can not really be this much in bed with Apple. The iPhone “comes with unlimited data”? Lol? Do you really suck that much of Apple’s… uh… apple’s? It’s no different than signing up for a $39.99 plan and adding the unlimited data plan for $19.99. Wow! At $59.99, that means… that you HAVE to buy the data plan. To “include” something means you’re actually getting a deal. Stop sucking the cock for one minute. Even if you look at all the features, it comes to the same deal. Seriously, stop being so bias for one minute.
