Sweet! I've been waiting for them to drop their rates. I mainly use wifi too and average under 200 MB/month.

I deal with corporate accounts all day, this would not happen.

However, since we are creating hypothetical scenarios, your company could simply take ownership of Verizon, thus getting free/unlimited data forever.

they are not, you have the option of keeping the limited unlimited plan unless you want tethering for $20 then you have to choose one of the lower tiers.

How can you have an iPhone and be so low?

On avg, I do about 1.5 gb a month, so the 2GB isn't bad (though I won't downgrade for $5)

But I can't understand under 200mb..

and I use Wifi at home... and anywhere else...

^ Not everyone is a teenage girl that needs to be (OMG) on their phone 24/7. I like my iPhone as much as the next Apple fanboi but honestly, to think someone could go over 2GB in a month on average is just stupid crazy unless you are uploading a ton of pictures or looking at porn all day.

I agree the 200MB is weak, but that is for people like my mom who likes the maps... and doesn't really know how to work anything else on her iPhone.

Well, I use my phone for business and pleasure

I send numerous pictures to clients daily

Plusssss I'm on e90post.. and a picture thread is a lot of memory, don't you agree?

Also, my gf doesn't have a texting plan yet, so we email back and forth

a good 3000 emails a month...
it adds up
Plus facebook... and uploading pictures on there

And downloading Cydia apps can take a lot of memory
as well as App Store ones and updates

I guess cause I don't use WiFi as much as I should

btw, does using street view on googlemaps take up a lot of memory?
Cause I use it several times a day as I like to 'see' where I'm heading to...

I think a lot of memory though comes from Mxtube.. stuff adds up lol
