iPhone pricing plans emphasize unlimited data

With the June 29 iPhone launch now just days away, AT&T and Apple announced three service plans for the device, all of which include unlimited data, 200 SMS text messages and Video Voicemail, a new service allowing consumers to see a listing of their voicemails and access directly the messages they deem most important.

In addition to its standard service plans, AT&T will offer iPhone users monthly plans starting at $59.99 for 450 minutes--from there, the price goes to $79.99 for 900 minutes and $99.99 for 1,350 minutes. "We want to make choosing a service plan simple and easy, so every plan includes unlimited data with direct Internet access, along with Visual Voicemail and a host of other goodies," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs. "We think these three plans give customers the flexibility to experience all of iPhone's revolutionary features at affordable and competitive prices."
