No. EDGE is avilable most places and is the default data carrier method. 3G is the newer less available technology, and based on the 3G capable phones out there, the non 3G iPhone data plan is the exception in ATTs data pricing. All the other plans are more expensive and include EDGE and 3G (where available). The only way to have a $20 plan that includes 3G is if you bought the unlimited Media plan from Cingular years ago and were still using it. I was until I had to switch to the iPhone plan. Data is data. The problem is if you're using an iPhone, you cant access 3G because the iPhone isnt capable.
