Hello All,
I just spoke to a trusted AT&T Wireless contact of mine who requested to remain anonymous.
According to my source:
1.
Any current iPhone customer with the $30 per month unlimited data plan may continue to use the unlimited plan (at $30 per month) even if they choose to purchase a new iPhone be it subsidized (an upgrade in contract) or unsubsidized (customer pays full market value).
2.
Current iPhone customers who wish to downgrade their actual handset will lose the $30 per month unlimited plan.
3.
According to my source (however this one is not set in stone) any current iPhone customer with the $30 per month unlimited data plan who wishes to add the $20 per month tethering option loses the $30 per month unlimited data plan. My source confirmed that AT&T Wireless has the ability to distinguish data traveling over the network that is used on the phone from that which is used as a result of tethering; thus, AT&T Wireless may resend this particular policy.

I also happen to be a very satisfied user of iPhone 3GS.
Included with the iPhone 3GS, at the time of purchase, is a very nice set of Apple branded stereo earphones with inline 3-button remote control and microphone. This included headset can be used to remotely control iPhone 3GS volume level, dialing feature, and iPod App. Read the rest of this entry »

The following is an overview of the setup I now enjoy:
