Well, Vodafone are actually really nice. They have a family plan for NZ$20 with unlimited txts and calls between 4 people.

Unfortunately its an add-on, so the price is on top of your monthly plan.

I use the T-Mobile Family plan ($9.99) and the unlimited msg ($9.99) (on top of the $60.00 for 1000 minutes shared (I think). Works great, between me and my family we use close to 2000-3000 msgs a month, so needless to say I will have to curtail that with the IPhone.

wow that seems like a pretty good deal. $10 a month for unlimited messaging seems really great.

Yeah really good, it covers both SMS and MMS messaging. But I do not think I will see that good a deal on AT&T.

I have to admit, AT&T is starting to get aggravating. $10/month more for 3G is reasonable, but they're tacking on a charge to "activate" the new iPhone and charging extra for a text plan...

I would have preferred to pay more for the iPhone to maintain the current monthly charges - now I'm going to pay more in the long term...

Totally agree. In this day and age, why is there such a thing as activation fee, come on get up to date with technology -- like it really costs $18 or $36 to "activate a phone service?". The text message thing bothers me mucho. Why isn't that included in the data plan. Regardless, I will use free services to send txt msgs, instead of giving AT&T any more.
