How To Get Your iPhone Bill Down To $14.95

A while back we posted that a way had been found to get the monthly $59.99 iPhone bill down to $39.99 by canceling the unlimited data in the plan. Well one iPhone user, Brian, has managed to take that to the next level, and managed to get his bill down to $14.95. Read how after the break.

From Gizmodo:

I talked with an AT&T rep, and while they weren't excited to admit it, it is possible to use the iPhone as a regular cellphone. For me that makes it a secondary line to my wife's (she has a $45/month plan) and thus mine is $14.95. I had to turn off browsing through the cell network and text messages. I can't stand text messages anyway, so no big loss there. And Wi-Fi still works, so with work, home, and my favorite watering hole all having Wi-Fi, who cares?
Finally, after a few months of wrangling with AT&T, I have the device I want, plus a cellphone. BTW, you have to be very specific about blocking text and data, or they charge you per KB, and it gets insanely expensive. Just toggling the data plan off at the website and turning it off on the phone will NOT block that charge, customer service has to do it.

Your $10 basic rate escalates to more like $15 once all the charges and taxes are factored in but you're right those charges and taxes are a percentage of the base so they would be a lot greater for a larger base..
