No kidding. Much as I hate ATT, my 30/month (on a family plan) for the basic US plan looks like a steal in comparison...

Very stingy…
Compared to the UK:

Minutes Texts
£35 (€46) 600 500
£45 (€60) 1200 500
£75 (€99) 3000 500

Plus: Unlimited Data (Email/Web) & Wi-Fi (O2 Hotspots)

Which is probably why they're selling much better in the US than in Europe so far.

I can't believe that the iPhone is STILL not available in Canada.
