Since you'll be standing in line for quite a while, it would be wise to chose which plan you want before you line up outside your local store. If you're new to the iPhone and are still having a hard time choosing which one you want, here's a little tool to help you decide. It's called BillShrink, and it can help you pick one of the new AT&T iPhone 3G plans based on the number of text messages you use, the number of lines you want, etc., and it will tell you how much it will cost. You can check it out here.

Checked out my cost.

Right now paying 155 total for 2 iphones 700 minutes and 1500 text a peice

for 3g it comes out to:

129.99 a month but this is before taxes, fees, 15% discount, and text premiums.
159.99 with unlimited text on both lines.


This calculator thing sucks, all it does is gives you the rate plans you should already know. Thumbs down from me!

Each person's individual usage is different, thus they would need a different plan with different add ons. Most folks aren't as well versed in all the different iphone plans/combinations/multi-line/text/night-weekend combinations.
Check out www.billshrink.com by itself without the iphone specific portion and we'll show you the cost of all the alternatives out there.

how to lower your cell bill

I wanted to write a follow-up discussing a major route to specifically wireless savings through the website http://www.fixmycellbill.com (by a company called Validas) that on average currently saves T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and US Cellular customers 22 percent, equating to $484 annually, off their cell bills. I personally save $230 per year through Validas and I have been so impressed with these results that I recently took a job with the company.

Here's a quick breakdown of how it actually works. Validas analyzes your online cell bill for free and calculates how much money you could be saving. It turns out that eight of ten wireless customers are paying more than they need to for their plans. Validas fixes these discrepancies by tailoring a customer's plan to fit their specific needs. If you choose, Validas provides your personalized cell bill adjustment report that is emailed, for five bucks, to your wireless provider in industry specific format so you can actually implement these cash saving changes. If Validas can save you more than $5 on your bill, this obviously provides a very cost effective solution.

Validas is rapidly gaining a reputation as the preeminent advocate for the wireless customer. Check out a feature about the company on The Big Idea with CNBC's Donny Deutsch at http://www.cnbc.com/id/22782456/. Any cell subscriber who wants to cut costs should consider Validas. It’s free to consult and you only stand to save.

Good luck to everyone trying to reduce their bills.
