If you've got ready access to wi-fi, then some folks are fine not having a data plan on their phones. The nice thing about AT&T and T-Mobile Pay As You Go is the data plan is
optional. It's there if you want to use it but you don't have to pay for access if not.
I currently have the AT&T PAYGO $0.10/min plan on my LG Thrive. With AT&T PAYGO, you have the option of adding the following 30-day data feature packages:
- 500MB/$25
- 100MB/$15
- 10MB/$5
The packages expire after 30 days but the package balance rolls over if you renew before expiration. For example, if you sign up for the 500MB/$25 on Oct 1 and then sign up for the 10MB/$5 package on Oct 30, whatever unused MB's you have will roll over for the next 30 days.
Theoretically, you can have an iPhone 4 16GB for as low as $759+taxes (T-Mobile PAYGO) over the course of 2 years ($649 unlocked device + $100 1st yr refill + $10 2nd yr refill).
