Following a lot of speculation surrounding data plans for the iPhone, AT&T and Apple today unveiled three dedicated iPhone subscription plans. Steve Jobs said in a statement that these three plans give customers the flexibility to experience all of the iPhone's features.

All iPhone plans include Visual Voicemail, which allows users to see a listing of their voicemails, decide which messages to listen to, and then go directly to those messages without listening to previous messages.

All iPhone monthly service plans are available for individuals and families and are based on a new two-year agreement with AT&T. Individual plans are priced at $59.99 for 450 minutes, $79.99 for 900 minutes and $99.99 for 1,350 minutes. All plans include unlimited data (e-mail and Web), Visual Voicemail, 200 SMS messages, roll-over minutes and unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling. There's also a one-time activation fee of $36, while family plans will also be available.

iPhone customers can also choose from any of AT&T's standard service plans.

So, if I do the math correctly, $59.99 X 24 months before tax equals over $1,400 for two years, plus cost of iPhone. Total outlay, $2K.

I'd really be curious how many families will sign up - say a family of three: mom/dad/child = $6K outlay....wow!
