Pretty much what we thought. Too bad 200 texts aren’t included in the plan.

Will these plans incluse the Exchange service for corporate email or is that an additional charge on top of the above mentioned plans?

Also, is there a difference between Enterprise(which I have now with my BB)and Exchange?

Ok, so I think I’ve since found part of my answer with a $45 charge for business users who want to access the Exchange service. So I guess now my question would be is that $45 on top of the let’s say $109.99 for the 1350 minutes or does that $109.99 include a $30 charge for unlimited data w/o the Exchanhge. Finding pricing info but not totally understanding that part of it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

For the text messages in the family plan, is it $30 each phone (for unlimited) or $30 all together and both phones get unlimited?

Chris,
Based on the AT&T release I believe it is for the plan. The release states that “Unlimited text messaging can be added for an additional $20 ($30 for FamilyTalk plans of up to five lines)”

So it seems that the $30 covers up to five lines, I have not been able to get that confirmed though.

Steve,

The Exchange is the $30 data plan with an extra $15 for the enterprise features, which totals $45.

I have a question:

I currently have a line with the first iPhone and am eligible for upgrade, I plan on upgrading to the 3g but I also want to add a line to make it a family plan. If I add a line, will the new line be eligible to pay $200 for the iPhone 3g?
