Earlier, when I mentioned that I’m finally going to get some kind of smart phone, David Brazeal suggested that I might want to get an iPhone. I’ve seen them — they’re sleek, they’re cool, they even came down in price. But for me, I need to make sure the billing isn’t a nightmare. In the past, I’ve found that’s been the biggest hassle of cell-phone ownership.
I took a second to see if anyone had posted about their iPhone bills online. Oh yeah, they have — and this makes me really nervous:
And then this….
Of course, since then AT&T simplified its iPhone billing…
But I still really want to see one of those bills for myself. I’m worried not just about the detail, but about “surprise” charges that might be hard to spot and time-consuming to contest.
I just got my AT&T bill in the mail today and I own and iPhone. After the debacle seen above they went to a summarized form so I only had about 4 or 5 sheets in my bill today. BTW, I love my iPhone. It’s the most usable phone I have owned.
That’s good to hear, Patrick
How understandable was the simplified bill? Any surprise or cryptic charges?

It was ok as far as bills go. We have combined Internet, Long Distance and Cell Phone and those always throw those weird taxes in there.
