Media Max Unlimited Data Plan for iPhone - Only plan avaialble

Jeff · 06-20-2007, 11:55 AM

According to our Tipster Jason (thanks a lot!), an AT&T representative from the North Shore Boston area said that the only iPhone data plan available would be the Media Max Unlimited Plan, which goes for $39.99. The Media plan gives you unlimited instant messaging for you iPhone but also gives the user unlimited access to Media Net and AT&T Video. Here's how AT&T describes Media Net:

Media Net gives you access to all the cool things you can do with your wireless phone: email, Web sites, games, and more. It is wireless Internet access for your wireless device.

Mail & Messaging: Check your Yahoo! Mail, MSN Hotmail and chat with friends with Yahoo! Messenger and Upoc.
Sports: Get the latest scores from CBS SportsLine and ESPN.
Ringtones, Games, and Graphics: Personalize your phone by downloading your favorites.
News & Finance: Stay informed with round-the-clock headlines from CNN.
Entertainment: Get local movie times and reviews, dining recommendations, and more.
Weather & Travel: Check your forecast from The Weather Channel, get flight times, and traffic reports.

It is already assumed that you should be able to subscribe to the calling plan of your choice. The cheapest AT&T calling plan right now goes for $39.99. An internal AT&T memo also revealed last week that iPhone lovers can subscribe to FamilyTalk plans.
If you make the count, you are at $80 before the fees and taxes. Expensive? Of course, but that was expected. After all, it's the iPhone!

I'm still waiting for something to be posted on the At&t site. Thanks for posting this, but it's really just more of the same stuff we've been getting for weeks now.

this is a good post. i already gave everyone this information before. some believed me and some didnt. but hopefully everyone can see the info again. this plan was just released a couple of weeks ago. so potentially this is going to be the iphone plan. and i also received the same information from a at&t store.

Can we get confirmation from aother source please? If one AT&T rep knows then others reps should know it as well. As far as we know this rep could be talking out of his butt hole and just guessing. He is probably looking at the plans available right now and saying "Hmmmmm, I bet iPhone will use this plan." As far as we know there could be a completely new plan announced on June 29.

We need confirmation.

It appears your friend at AT&T should pay better attention to the training manual.

Additional services such as Media Net, MobiTV, or Cellular Video are not available for iPhone.

Wow good find! I am still hoping that there will be multiple data plans available for the iPhone (starting out at no more than $20), so this is great news for me

Yeah, that's not the way it really works.

MediaNet in the manual refers to their webpage that allows you to get desktop pics, ring tones, etc.

The MediaNet packages, just give you data allowences, wether you are browsing MediaNet, or the regular web, it is all the same. I have a PDA phone, and I can't access MediaNet, but I still have a MediaNet package (although, I *should* have a PDA plan, which is more expensive, but it doesnt effect my ability to browse the web/check email)

Well crap, I got myself all worked up for nothing. Thanks for the info though!
