New 3G iphone announced, $199 - Page 26

What do your monthly bills come out to for iPhone plans? I've got 2 lines (one iPhone, one junk phone), 700 shared minutes, and a full data plan for the iPhone and my bill comes to 137$ and change every month. Seems frickin' ridiculous to me, is this way high or am I just being a jew about phone service?

For new AT&T customers: Use Bing to get 35% off any phone. Just go to bing.com and search for "ATT Wireless." Click on the sponsored cash back link and you're good to go.

Doesn't seem to work for upgrades or Premier accounts.

I usually pay just over $100 with taxes for my iPhone. I have unlimited texting though because girls love to text and my phone bill used to be $140+ easy just because of texting.

I am paying $74 month for a 3G right now using a discount from my old job. I got laid off a couple months ago and still am getting the discount

You realize enabling tethering by downloading the .ipcc isn't a hack right.....

You will be doing that when tethering is enabled. You don't need to be jailbroken or unlocked or anything to have tethering.

I fell for it and bought my iPhone today too.

Any recommendations or must-have apps or tweaks?

Tweetie is my favorite Twitter app.
Netnewswire is an awesome feed reader and syncs with the desktop app.
Pandora
Craigsmobile, for trolling for cheap prostitutes.
Netshare (can't be purchased anymore) for tethering
Rooms for irc
Shazam
Shoutcast
Photogene, awesome photo editor
Ebay
VNC
Weatherbug Elite

I have many more, but I use these the most.

I have two phones. One of them is my iphone, the other is a LG shine... Family plan 550 minutes, family unlimited text and unlimited data for just my phone.. Total is like $130/mo.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but the OS 3.0's jailbreak for the 2G and 3G phones have been released.

Instructions here: iClarified - iPhone - How to Jailbreak Your iPhone on OS 3.0 Using RedSn0w (Windows)

In the process of jailbreaking, and it's simple as hell. Please read and re-read the instructions linked above if you intend to do it.

I got my 32GB 3GS today. Went at 9:30am, the store was supposed to open at 10am, but they actually opened early for the people standing in line. There were about 6 people in front of me but it looked like they got a shipment of about 300 phones or so because the concierge was holding a huge stack of reserve tickets. I had my phone by 10:00am.

The Apple store in San Diego got 8,000 yesterday.

$118 here for two lines, 1500 texts, unlimited data. Not sure my actual anytime minutes, I believe it's 500 off the top of my head. My second line is just a spare phone that I grabbed for my mother to keep in the car for emergencies.

I keep meaning to roll down the text plan, but never seem to remember it during the day.
