Currently, my mom has an iphone with unlimited texting so she pays the extra fee and the iphone fee. If I got an iphone for our family line, would I also have to pay the iphone fee? In other words, thirty dollars extra total or thirty dollars extra per phone.|||It's 30 dollars extra per phone, because they are separate i phones.
And if you have 2 lines, your family plan comes with it, depending on how many minutes you have :)|||If I'm not wrong, AT%26amp;T disallows more than one iPhone per family group. If wrong, then it's $9.95/mo MORE per line PLUS the iPhone Data Plan. So your charges are the following:
This is ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE AN iPHONE 3G or 3G S w/ UNLTD INTEGRATED MESSAGING:

$89.95 + Voice Plan Price + Messaging Plan for iPhone 2
$125.95 for the first month with the new iPhone and add above opts.
Here's a scenario where you have a $65/mo bill for a 700-mins family plan:

Add $36.00 one time every month a new iPhone 3G/3G S device is activated. Add government
and state regulatory fees. Prices may change and vary
upon location. This information should only be used as a
reference. Consult your nearest AT%26amp;T Consumer Store
location for more information on billing for your AT%26amp;T service.
ADDED BONUS: Have many people that text oh-so-often? Get the $34/mo FAMILY UNLIMITED MESSAGING plan. It's more worth it than getting 2-5 separate messaging plans, right? Send text, video, pictures, you name it to ANYONE in the family or ANYONE on ANY NETWORK! (Domestic U.S. applies. Others are subject to int'l charge.)
If you are using the original iPhone, please make the following corrections:
Data Plan: -$10
Text Plan: +$5
I hope the information above helped you. As always, visit an AT%26amp;T location nearby if you have any questions, as they may help you better than I may have.
