Could someone tell me how much at&t pays apple for each iphone, how much they sell them for, and how much the monthly plans are

You wouldn't want one. If you drop the thing, the screen might crack and you can't use it anymore.

I'm not looking to buy one really, I just want to know that stuff

If Dark Master ever came by, he bought one.

I'm here, I'm here... Its just ;m usually very busy to coming to iBotModz is becoming hard.

 

Yes, I did pick up an iPhone 3G. And here's the deal:

 

First off, the amount AT&T plays Apple is a classified number but my guess (over a 2 year period) is somewhere around $350, this is because even though the iPhone is cheaper, in the long run its going to cost you more money, so Apple is going to take the money of the original cost of the iPhone out... the $200 iPhone teaser was just so more people would buy then realize that they will pay more in the long run.

 

For purchasing the iPhone: If your going to buy one and agree to a new 2 year plan its $199 for a 8GB Black iPhone. Or its $299 for a 16GB black or white iPhone. But be aware if you are still locked in to your current plan or you do not wish to have a contract, it'll cost you $499 or $599. This goes back to my original guess. If Apple doesn't get someone to buy service for 2 years they are going to just make them pay the money for the iPhone plus whatever AT&T would have paid them for the 2 year contract.

 

Basically per month your going to pay $30 for unlimited data. Thats unlimited email, web, stocks, youtube, etc. But the minimum you can pay for a line is $40 for 450 minutes. So at a minimum you'll be paying about $70 for an iPhone. And thats with no texting! Its $5 a month for 200, $15 a month for 1500 or $20 for unlimited. So thats about $90 a month to have low minutes, unlimited data, and unlimited texting. Other minute plans include 900 minutes for $60 and 1350 minutes for $80 for unlimited for $100. But remember, you have to add $30 to all those for data and add the cost of texting to that as well.

 

Its expensive to own, but if you got the money, I highly recommend it.

The older version in my opinion is better i have that one and it ends up being a little bit less expensive than the 3g every month but it is a very expensive phone to have so i would suggest getting something else
