How much do you really pay for an iphone?
I’m plotting on buying an 8gb iphone. I am by now a customer for At&t and want to know a few things.
1) can i place my ancient sim card into the iphone and still use it?
2) How much will i pay for a new 8gb iphone with no contract?
3) will i have to pay more per month than what i’m paying now?
4) if you have an iphone, is it value it?
* where could i buy an iphone with no contract?

1. Yes you can place in your ancient sim card and use it
2. Depending on where you find one. ebay has them for $400 with no contract. If i was you I would rather buy it in the store for $200 with a contract.
3. Yes, because AT&T require you to buy a voice plot + $30 unlimited data plot for the iphone 3g.
4. I have a 3G iPhone and I would be lost without it. I dont know how I lived without it. I have all my email address synced in, So i never get on the computer to check my email, which is fantastic for someone thats always on the go or doesnt have much time. I have all my bill dates reminders, so my bills are never late. I can record lectures from professors for hours of recording. If im lost somewhere i can get simple directions with street view to show me a real picture of the street and where I need to go. Its an incredible device. You really wont find one iPhone user that regrets getting an iphone.
AT&T is the only carrier for the iPhone and it’s the only place you can buy it with a warranty, so if you by now have an AT&T contract you can extend your current contact to use on your new iPhone.
Data plans are required for all iPhones (makes the apps work, otherwise it is just a regular buzz) and cost $30 / month.
The cheapest call plot is $39.99 with 450 rollover minutes.
So, where to buy the actual buzz? You can go to your local AT&T Wireless store… they will charge you $199.00 for the buzz + sales tax ($10-20 depending on your state) and will sign you up for the plans listed higher than.
Or, you can save money by also buying from AT&T but purchasing online. You probably won’t have to pay sales tax and instead of $199.00 for the buzz you have the option to buy a refurbished buzz (one who’s box has been opened but then AT&T inspected it, and made it as new…). These cost just $99.00 for the same iphone 3G 8Gb that your local store would charge you $199 for.
Here are the current deals for the iPhone 3G 8Gb (lowest fee = $99.00 with free shipping):

If you don’t want an AT&T plot, you can by an unlocked iPhone without the contract, these will not have a warranty but. Prices fluctuate but you can see a huge list here:
