But yes, you do need a data plan because the visual voicemail uses data. Without the data plan, you wouldn't be notified when you had a new voicemail as the phone does not have a normal voicemail capability like other phones, just the visual voicemail feature.

My monthly fee dropped $40 per month...so the phone will be free when I'm done.
I was paying $49/mo for unlimited data + $9.00 for text messaging. iPhone plan is $20 for data and includes 200 text messages for free.
I came from a HTC TyTn (unlocked Cingular 8525) w/ Exchange email, 3.5 G service (getting 600-900kbps) and WM6...I thought I would have to keep both phones.
The Tytn is on Ebay right now...NO WAY I could ever go back! The iPhone is AMAZING!!
BTW- The iPhone does not have push, but it will talk to my Exchange 2003 Server and pulls email down every 15 minutes or on demand and I really have not missed push as much as I thought. Apple is rumored to be adding full Exchange support very soon though.
