He pretty much told me point blank to try the $30 plan first because some people are having success with it. BTW, I spoke with someone in AT&T Business (or whatever they call it) this morning.

I've had the iPhone 2g for two years now, before they came out with the iPhone 3g. When the iPhone 3g came out, you were forced to upgrade your service plan b/c of the *new* iPhone 3g suspected network usage. I was upset I am forced to pay for a service I can't even utilize on a 2g phone. My contract has been expired for close to a year with AT&T but I've been hanging around to see what will happen with the iPhone opening up with other networks (not happy with their service coverage either). Yesterday I saw the news that AT&T will likely keep exclusivity for another year so I figure, hell, I might as well upgrade to a 3g and hand around another 2 years because i LOVE the phone. During the online upgrade process, I come across this question about the "Enterprise Data Plan" for iPhone being $45.00. WHAT? I'm paying $30 right now and can do EVERYTHING this "Enterprise Plan" offers. I decided to call AT&T and find out what this is, hoping that it's combining unlimited text or something to the plan as well. Well, not only does it NOT include anything I can't do now, I must have been speaking to the same rep that fishlaw was speaking to. I received the SAME CROCK that fishlaw did! The representative kept telling me, "you must be using pop". NO! I am NOT using pop and since I'm an exchange administrator I am QUITE familiar with it. This is nothng but a crock and a scam to get more money out of a service that is negligible, to say the least. AT&T is dying and will continue to die with these bad business practices. And before I leave, I'd like to remind everyone that when OS3.0 for iphone came out (at the same time the iphone 3g came out) it was advertised that Active Sync with Exchange was a new feature, yet there was no change in data price other than the "you now have access to the 3g network on AT&T", which i might add I've had for YEARS prior to having AT&T on my previous non-iPhone devices.

I am not sure how they enforce it. I do know that Exchange transmits a lot of data, so I can see why they want the extra $$$$. I hooked it up on a Treo, thinking I had upgraded that unit to an unlimitd data plan-the charges were over $250 in three days. AT&T removed them when I explained what happened-they have surprisingly good service. I pay the fee for our business phones-maybe you can get away without it... Not sure how they will deal with Mobile-Me, which is similar to Exchange.
