Not in the US. It's common, but not for the iPhone. All iPhone plans have unlimited data.

Really? Weird. Yeah, the plans were 400mb per month, 1000, 3gig, and 6gig, which was something like $100. However, there was a special plan on for 6gig for $30 a month so I grabbed the hell out of that. There's absolutely no way I'd use over 6 gigs.

How much is it per month for the cheapest unlimited iPhone? Also, it covers 3G/EDGE, right?

It's finally coming to Turkey. I wonder how much they'll charge for it.. If they don't overcharge much (well, if it's close to what Apple charges in the US, I'm ok), I might consider buying one, I want it too much..

I bought a Touch about half a year ago, which doesn't help at all.

The only thing stopping me from getting an iphone is the monthly bill.

Well, let me figure this out. On the original iPhone, the basic plan was 450 minutes, unlimited data and 200 text messages, and it broke down into $45 for the minutes, $5 for the text messages (normal AT&T prices), so unlimited Edge was $10 per month making it cost $60 per month.

With the 3G, the lowest price (same minutes) is now $70 per month, so unlimited 3G would be $20 per month, but they also were sneaky and dropped the text messages from the basic plan, so in reality, the unlimited 3G is now $25 a month, and yes, you get unlimited 3G and Edge in the US.

That's one of the biggest reasons why I'm not upgrading. The cost of ownership for the phone is $15 more a month than what I'm paying now. No thanks.

Oh, and did they drop the accessories from the iPhone? Apple has this habit of introducing products will tons of accessories, and as a means of lowering the price, they take them all away. The original came with the dock, dock cable, headphones, universal dock adapter, and USB charger. I have this feeling they dropped the dock.

Yep, no dock. Just a (recently recalled) ultracompact power-outlet adapter, USB cable, and headphone/microphone combo clicker, which is so sweet.

And 6 gigs is pretty much unlimited, unless you set up a P2P server on your iPhone. So the monthly prices are essentially the same.
