Why does apple/at&t say you have to pay 70 bucks a month?

I've been told all you need is to have the data plan on w/e plan you previously had.

Strange. My data plan is 39 a month with the iphone. Not 70. Is yours 70?

[Deltido]

it's not supposed to be according to the people at my store i'll be paying a bit less..i was originally paying 25 a month on my other plan so yeah..that makes 55 a month

Not sure what you are trying to say here. If you have the 3G your data plan is $30 plus your voice plan plus txt msg. plan if you have one. And then you have good old taxes.

that's not right it's different you'll see your wallet AT&T the iPhone and data not to mention text or exchange

lowest possible voice plan (right now) that you can buy is 39/99. +30= your price.
Unless you own a grandfather plan?

oh..maybe it's the grandfather thing then.. because i'm only going to get charged 25+30 for data on my family plan.

That's true, all you need is to add on is the data plan.

On Friday, I converted both of my iPhones to the Family plan. That is:

$69 for 700 minutes for BOTH iPhones,
$30 data plan for 3G iPhone + $5 for 200 SMS
$20 data plan for old iPhone includes 200 SMS

At&t had lower voice plans, but the only catch was you had to call At&t to get lower plans. The store could only give you the plans they had available to them.

Example I can give is the 500 minute plan I had. When I upgraded at the store they could only give me the 700 minute plan and was told when I got home I would have to call At&t to switch back to my 500 minute plan.
