What the f. Do people really pay this much for iPhone service?

[GilloD]

Am I distinguished mentally-challenged and read this wrong or do some of you assjerks really pay SEVENTY DOLLARS A MONTH for iPhone service?

[Greatness Gone]

I sort of want one of those new Blackberry Curves, but Blackberry browsers fucking suck.

[Brehvolution]

It costs ~$105 for my voice and blackberry data plan. That is the lowest voice plan too.

Add taxes on to that $70 for the iphone too.

[demi]

$70 aint no thang for a playboi like me

[y2kev]

If I already have a voice plan and just want to upgrade to a blackberry, is it just like 30 bucks more for the blackberry plan?

[Cheebs]

My iPhone bill is like $90ish a month.

[Eric P]

my regular phone is $70 a month

cheapest voice, unlim text messages, unlim data/gps

[MrAngryFace]

Considering how often I lose my normal phone, I cant imagine getting an iphone

[Brehvolution]

I think it's robbery that phone companies charge an extra rate for text messages even if you have an unlimited data plan. smh 

[GilloD]

THAT IS 840 DOLLARS A YEAR

[demi]

Maybe you should get an awesome job

"Hmm, I never thought about that. Inquisitive."

The lack of playbois in this thread is unsettling

pretty rich talk from a guy whose company sells peanuts and salt @ $6 a jar.

[The Fake Shemp]

BlackBerry Curve can use Opera Mini very, very well and it rocks as a mobile browser.

I pay $80/per month for unlimited data usage, unlimited text and messages, six hundred anytime minutes, free nights and weekends and unlimited minutes to five contacts (MyFaves).  Best plan ever.

[Don Flamenco]

$0 a month for ipod touch + $30 a month verizon on a phone ftw.

That's MSRP, yo. Wholesale is mabes 2 and something. Also, I dont get paid so much, haha 

[MyNameIsMethodis]

the only playing you guys are doing is with 12 year old latino "bois".

[muckhole]

As a Canuck, I was tempted until I read all the negative inpressions, coupled with the fact that here (so far) there is no unlimited data plan available for it. Stupid Rogers.

[TVC15]

60 to 70 is just about the cheapest smartphone plans come.  I also pay an additional 60 per month for mobile broadband on my laptop

[Rman]

it's the mandatory data plans, bro.

[TVC15]

And why would you get an iPhone or smartphone without a data plan?  Of course you want a data plan with it.

[ch1nchilla]

I pay $90/month for my iPhone 3G. Unlimited texting and data with visual voicemail or whatever, and I have no idea what my minutes are.

[Rman]

I totally agree with you.  That's the point of using a smartphone.  I was just explaining to GilloD how easy it is to get a 70 plus dollar monthly bill with a smartphone.  My bill is around 89 bux with the iPhone 3g as well.

[Mr. Gundam]

My wife and I have a family plan through Verizon which is $60 a month (I have an LG Venus, nothing fancy) for two phones. I can't imagine paying more than that. You crazy people and your iPhones and Blackberrys!

[TVC15]

Oh okay.

You aren't even paying an Apple premium tax on th iPhone service, GilloD.  That's about how much all smartphone plans are.

I am gay for my iPhone.  I just got rid of my 8525 and got a 3G.  Aside from quibbles with battery life (which really hasn't been an issue so far), I couldn't be happier.

[Greatness Gone]

The worst thing about the iPhone is that all of the apps are stupid and/or useless.

[Rman]

Oh, you got one.  I thought you were waiting on updated Android handset?

[Brehvolution]

Truth be told, if work wasn't paying for mine I sure as hell wouldn't pay for it.

[BlueTsunami]

I payed like, $40 a month for my T-Mobile plan. I forget how many minutes a month (1200?) but free Nights and Weekends (7pm). Data planes are ridiculous for phones though.

[archie4208]

I pay $15/month for my phone service.

[TVC15]

Mine's going to come to just about 70 + tax.  I got the 50 dolla plan along with unlimited text messages (which I never use, but what the heck).  The same plan on my 8525 cost 65 + tax and was identical, but that had a paltry work discount that MYSTERIOUSLY DOES NOT APPLY TO IPHONE.

[Shuri]

the iphone is the biggest scam ever.

[Bloodwake]

the iphone is the biggest scam ever.

Pretty much.

[ch1nchilla]

Yeah after taxes and all that shit, it's about 100 bucks a month for my iPhone with unlimited texting and data. Worth it.

Fully agreed.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

people who bitch about the iPhone are bitter because they have the Samsung touchscreen bullshit and/or a razr

I kid, I kid, but the iPhone is completely worth it

[close]

[hyp]

i pay $90/month for two iphones w/ data plans. 

gotta love corporate discounts

And why would you get an iPhone or smartphone without a data plan?  Of course you want a data plan with it.

I own an (unlocked) iPhone on T-Mobile and have no data plan.  Of course, all I really wanted or needed was a phone with an iPod in it.  I spend maybe $15 a month on prepaid minutes.

The only thing I feel like I'm missing out on is being able to stream internet radio stations in my car, and while that might be awesome to do I don't think it's worth an extra $60 a month.  If I ever need web access, it's not like there isn't a Starbucks with WiFi in my vicinity anyway.

Plus T-Mobile's voice+data+text plan is $65/month, so if I got that there would be almost no point in having an unlocked phone anyway.  Might as well pay the extra $10/month to AT&T and not have to deal with firmware upgrade issues.  Though I hear that AT&T's customer service is the worst in the business, so maybe you'd be better off running an unlocked phone on T-Mobile.

[BlueTsunami]

Would be cool if there's ever a point where ones main ISP is someone linked to ones phone or something (crossing of tubes and shit, I realize that its impossible in regards to who owns what and using someones service). I hate the idea of paying for two plans. Having the Internet in reach wherever you are has to be very useful though.
