I’m considering getting an iPhone. With the new pricing, the only thing worrying me is the data plan pricing. Most of the places I go have free wifi. Would I be able to connect to the internet on an iPhone by just using wifi? I guess you guys can guess I’m not a cellphone person. So, no laughing at me, k?

Pam T mentioned that smartphone data is 40 bucks, while the iphone plan is only 20 currently (30 for 3G).

I think it’s a rip that they’re doing the 30 for 3G. But, in any case, the ‘unlimited medianet’ plan is 20 dollars a month. It gives you unlimited internet, and even allows you to bypass the medianet proxy. However, I think you get a dynamic IP, which makes push exchange hard since I presume it needs an IP to push things to you.

I used the 20 dollar a month medianet plan with my 8525 for a year straight and had no problems with it. the rep on the phone didn’t even say a peep about how I ‘needed’ the smartphone plan.

I wonder if they will be able to tell if an old EDGE user buys a new phone. The $20 per month is certainly a nice deal that I am sure most would like to keep if they upgrade to a 3G iPhone.

Excuse me if I get a wee bit annoyed…why do I have to pay nearly $40 for unlimited smartphone data and iPhone users get theirs cheaper?
