iPhone 3G - Monthly Fee Calculator
Checkout the iPhone monthly fee calculator on BillShrink.com to see what your current cell phone usage will cost you on the iPhone 3G. In my case, I would spend $336 more per year in the monthly service by going to the iPhone 3G. Lucky for me, I’m not interested in changing phones.
The price of the iPhone 3G is steep, but will fall in a few months just like the first iPhone did. But don’t expect the monthly fees to decline over time. Even if you subsidize the cost of the iPhone by selling your current phone on Craigslist, the monthly fees would still take a bite out of your budget in the end.
Even if you aren’t looking to buy the iPhone 3G, you should still checkout BillShrink.com to see which cell plan saves you the most money. No registration required and it’s free, free, free.

Hmmm, my land line is around $32 a month and I use Grand Central to make free long distance calls (here\’s hoping it\’ll continue to last).
One of these days maybe I\’ll dump the land line for a cell. I have no idea if I could get by with 200 or 300 minutes, which seems to a comparable $30 a month deal.
I probably could slide by easily on 200 minutes if my long winded sister would stop calling me.

All these plans seem pretty complicated. No big difference for me. The per SMS fee is amazing…new apps make that less important. Cool site, though…
