First iPhone Bills Arriving—and They're Pretty Heavy

Mon Aug 13, 2007 11:37PM EDT

Apple has modified its products as it attempts to build greener computers, but I think they forgot to tell AT&T about their latest environmental efforts. This weekend a few AT&T subscribers received their first iPhone bill inside inch-thick packages.

Ars Technica writers were among the first to complain about the size of their first iPhone bill, which would surprised even the most heavy Treo or Blackberry user. Apparently, the bills were 30-50 pages long, detailing every data transfer made on both sides of each page, and since iPhone users have unlimited data plans, all the recorded transactions amounted to a big fat zero.

Justine Ezarik captured her experience on video as she unwrapped her 300-page iPhone bill. She told Gizmodo, the bill accounted for almost 30,000 text messages and 200 minutes of talk time on her iPhone alone—I wonder if she holds a record? Lucky for her, the total bill was $274.81, which included activation charges. This obviously goes to show iPhone users are really taking advantage of their all-you-can-eat data plans.

While it's great that AT&T does a very thorough job in detailing every call and kilobyte exchange, do you really want to open a phone bill that's 300 pages long every month? Next time, AT&T should mention their online bill options to new subscribers. It might save a few trees. and video of the lady opening her 300 pages iphone bill

Well yeah, turn by turn directions to the next place she needs to meet her "escortee"

[rofl]

[Tribas4u]

I haven't even sent and received 300 in my life! How long have the phones been out?

[Babposa]

Unlimited data plan!!???

Holy crap! No wonder people are buying those things.

I need an unlimited data plan. Maybe when my contract is up I can negotiate with T-mobile an unlimited data plan for the same price I'm currently paying. Every time I try to leave T-mobile, they negotiate some deals that can't be passed up.


edit: Oh wait, how much do they pay for unlimited data plan?

Fair use policies will be the next thing.

I wonder how much it costs AT&T to have the default at detailed. It sure wouldn't be a propblem to make it default to e-billing.


Btw, noone mentioned yet that she is hot, dam you guys really hate the iPhone that much [rofl]

It's around $60/month for 450 minutes, 200 txt messages, and unlimited data, plus the high cost for the phone.

That was the first thing I noticed :drool:

[Kinds Of Pain Meds]

[Dwerfsd]

Maybe cause she is not hot?

[KitRittyTug]

Holy ****!

I can't ****ing believe that! 30,000 text messages?!?!

If she sleeps eight hours a day, that is only one message every minute ...

[Kilaoksrsa]

That is a lot of texts... but maybe she has some automated services that deliver texts (not that that justifies having 30,000 of them, but still...) I get my gmail delivered as texts for a more instant-notification, whereupon I can just download the actual mail if it's important and not have to leave my phone connecting and checking mail every 15 min or so, draining its battery.

if you have lots of friends that you txt with, 5k-10k would be normal IMO.
I text around 1-2k a week.


but I read somewhere that uses her txting to write in facebook and stuff.

I still don't know how you can text so much! Unless you are one of those people who texts, waits 30 seconds gets a text back then immediately responds and ends up having an hour long text conversation when you could have simply phoned the person for 5 minutes.

iPhone = two bob!

I got a N95, sure it has a few teething problems but the next generation will be even hard to compete with as im sure it will be far more stable.

I have unlimited data plan on my blackberry pearl, but i still have to pay for my calls and texts (when I go over the free ones that is)
