It appears that the service plan for the iPhone from AT&T will closely resemble that of the previous one. Gizmodo reports that it will be a standard plan for minutes and $30 extra (presumably per month) for the mandatory data plan. For businesses, it will be $45. This is part of AT&T’s process of pulling the iPhone in as a normal phone, instead of giving it some special plan and special rate that makes it different from all the others they sell. Also, activation will likely take 10-15 minutes PER PHONE, so expect a terrible wait in the inital buying spree that AT&T is predicting.
On another contract related note, customers who bought an original iPhone already after May 27th will be entitled to a free 3G iPhone. Unfortunately, they will have to sign up for another two year agreement, but since they bought in May, it’s only a few months to tack on. The new contract overwrites, it doesn’t throw a year on top or anything. Seems like a pretty fair deal to me!

if I am using my friends old iPhone and I have AT&T also but he is also paying for my phone bill, how much will it cost for activation and unlimeted testing on the iPhone each month?
