iPhone data plans out
As the time period for the release of the iPhone on Friday evening rolls out, the Apple PR machine cranks out on full speed, releasing articles one after the other. So here's the latest update, the data plans for the iPhone have been released, with the lowest one starting just below $60, instead at $59.99 per month.
There are essentially 3 data plans that have been released, with each plan offering unlimited data, offering 200 text messages, mobile-to-mobile calling and a new service, visual voicemail. These plans do not offer much variety, with $59.99 plan offering 450 minutes, the $79.99 plan for 900 minutes and the $99.99 plan valid for 1,350 minutes. The plan is for a 2-year service agreement, with a one-time activation charge of $36. In addition, the users need to have an iTunes account as well.
Visual voicemail is like email, and the user can review all the email that they have, and select the one they want to hear. Apple is expecting sales of 10 million devices by the end of next year, which is a fairly high expectation. It offers the user a great device, combing a great phone with internet access and the quality of an iPod. However, it is expensive, so there is some amount of doubt over whether Apple can meet the target. If for some reason, the phone under-sells, it will hit AT & T and Apple pretty hard.
