Hi there,
I got an unlocked iphone because i want a bunch of rogue apps and I dont want
a 2 year contract.
I'm still an AT&T customer, so im wondering what type of data plan i can get
so i wont get a trillion dollar bill in the mail.
i signed up for the data connect unlimited plan for 19 bucks a month.
will that cover it?
when i log in it says i cant change my plan since i have an iphone (they figrued that out already)
but i still have the plan, since it says
"BM ME NET MAIL UNL $19.99"
is this ok?

what trillion dollar bill are you speaking of? . i got my iphone december 26th and i just received my bill and it went up by 28$ bucks due to i increased my data plan by 20$. they added some charges they deducted some charges the gave me some credit, so next month my bill will only 20$ more if that. i been using the iphone like crazy on the net for ebay and youtube vidoes and meebo.com fo yahoo instant msg. there is no plan for 19$ a month ummm better research the data plans they start at 20$,30$,40$ how do you get 19$ a month....

You can get the iPhone data plan. And I believe you will still have to sign up for a 2-year contract. The only way the iPhone works is activating through iTunes, and that requires a two-year contract (unless, of course, you fail the credit check and are given the prepaid option). The only people getting outrageous bills in the mail are those that do things like take the iPhone out of the country and use it (or leave it on and polling to update periodically). I don't think you can use any other data plan with the iPhone.

ok to clarify,
I have an unlocked iphone that i want to use with my AT&T account WITHOUT using the iphone plan which will put me on the 2 year plan and defeat the whole purpose.
can i use any OTHER features to transfer data, i currently set myself up with the
Smartphone Connect Unlimited for $19.99. will that cover my data needs?
another posibility is MEdia Max 200 Bundle which i understand is extremely slow and what im looking for
sorry for the confusion

The only plan that the the iPhone qualifies for is the iPhone data plan. No other data plan will cover charges for data by the iPhone, assuming the plans can even be configured on your account. The activation process states it will remove all other data plans for that line and add on the iPhone data plan.

From what's been reported, the only way out of the 2 year contract is to fail the credit check, which will then give you the option of prepaid. This is highly unlikely for you since you are an existing AT&T customer...unless you're on a prepaid account, then maybe you'll still fail the credit check.
(BTW, the plan you get does not determine the speed of your connection. The device and network determine the speed. The data plan determines how much you're billed. So the Media Max data plan is not any faster or slower than the iPhone data plan.)
