Getting to the internet through wireless means that you have to have a wireless signal to access the internet. I have wireless here at my house, and I think I remember that you do too. So I can get on my iphone through my wireless when I am at home. However, if I am at the grocery store, which does not have a wireless access and I want to get on the internet to check 4womentalk - then I have to go through my cellphone number. If I didn't have access to the internet through the cellphone number (connection), then I couldn't get on the internet at the grocery store.
My other phone, T-Mobile Dash, I didn't pay to have access to the internet through the phone number so I could only get on the internet when I had access to a wireless signal. Now, with the iphone, I pay the extra $29 per month and I can access the internet any where I have a cellphone signal. That means that I can get on the internet 99% of the time, whereas when I could only get on when I could access a wireless signal, then my time on the internet was much less. Does that make sense????

Sandy, that is the same plan that Gary and I have - we share 700 minutes - plus I have unlimited texting because my g-daughter texts me ALL THE TIME! My daughter texts me some too when I am in meetings and can't answer the phone.
I also have a discount through the University of Texas - I think it is a 20% discount.

Nice discount!
Harold actually carries two cell phones - his company got him one last year, when we had just renewed our personal contract. They wouldn't port his number or try to transfer the account. All the kids have their own service, so I'm just hoping to run across somebody who'll take over his part or we'll pay it another year and not renew it.

I wish we could afford it. Sucks...LOLOL Oh well. Between my husband, son and myself...we have 700 minutes...unlimied mobile to moble, free nights and weekends. My son also has unlimited text on his. I'm not much on texting so I just do it through the computer if I feel the need. We pay $99.29 a month. So there is no way we could afford another $30 a month for internet through the phone. I wish we could!
We're probably paying too much, but with the other services around this area....many have so many dead spots and we only have one short area between home and Lafayette. I haven't checked the other prices because I knew the services weren't quite as good and I would be afraid we wouldn't have the great service we have now.

I am now the proud owner of an Apple IPhone 3GS. I'm at work, so I won't get to play with it until tonight. We going to MIL's tomorrow, so I'll have lots of time to figure it out there. I got to the store at 6:15 and the line wasn't too bad. They divided us into two lines, pre-reservers (ME) and walkups. So, it ended up that there were only 12 people in front of me.

If I heard correctly...the iPhone is an AT&T exclusive...is that right? So if anyone wants an iPhone they have to have AT&T service?
Congratulations Sandy!! I am so envious!!

Congratulations, Sandy!!!! One of the guys I work with got his yesterday, only he had ordered it, so it came to the office. He got a white one. I wouldn't care about the color, because I keep mine in a silicone sleeve with a hard plastic shell. I've dropped it on concrete twice, and it bounced both times with no damage.
Enjoy!!!!!
