AT&T And Apple Announce iPhone Service Plans

There has been a lot of speculation on the service plans for the iPhone and many were worried that AT&T would pull a fast one and charge quite a lot if they wanted to take full advantage of the device's features. As promised, AT&T has made the figures public before the actual launch and they were a surprise to many.


AT&T Inc. and Apple today announced service plans for iPhone which start at $59.99 per month. All plans include unlimited data, Visual Voicemail, 200 SMS text messages (more SMS text messages can be added to any plan), roll-over minutes and unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling. With everything else already included, iPhone customers can easily choose the plan that's right for them based on the amount of voice minutes they plan to use each month. In addition, iPhone customers can choose from any of AT&T's standard service plans.

"We want to make choosing a service plan simple and easy, so every plan includes unlimited data with direct Internet access, along with Visual Voicemail and a host of other goodies," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, in the press release.
