AmesMUG: iPhone 3G Launch

[John Rearick]

The base text message rate on ATT is $0.20 for both incoming and  
outgoing messages.  If you go through more than 25 text messages per  
billing period, it may be worth it to pony up the extra $5.00 for the  
200 messages plan.

It is kind of sad the $30 iPhone 3G data plan doesn't include text.  I  
wonder if there is a way to get the original iPhone plan on the 3G  
iPhone until 3G comes to Iowa.  I know they still offer the original  
iPhone plan to people who will be getting the original second hand.
