Just to inform our Canadian readers, not only iPhone 3G owners will take advantage of Rogers' new $30 for 6GB data plan.

The carrier has applied it to its full 3G smartphone range, which includes Nokia N95, HTC TyTN and Samsung Jack.

AT&T officially announced pricing plans for the iPhone 3G. The handset will become available on July 11, at 8:00 AM. New customers and those eligible for an upgrade will be able to get the phone for $199 (8GB) and $299 (16GB) with a 2-year commitment.

Existing AT&T customers who are not currently eligible for an upgrade can sign a new 2-year agreement and get the iPhone 3G for $399 (8GB) or $499 (16GB).

Telstra subscribers in Australia will soon be able to get their hands on the Apple iPhone 3G. The handset will be available starting July 11 at a price of $279 for the 8GB model or $399 for the 16GB model and will come with a 2-year contract.

The carrier also announced Next G iPhone 3G plans, which start from $30 per month and include free Wi-Fi access at Telstra hotspots.

T-Mobile @Home is a new service from T-Mobile USA that allows customers to connect their home phone to the carrier's network and offers unlimited national calling for just $10 a month.

It requires a broadband Internet connection, as well as the same router that provides T-Mobile Hotspot @Home service. 

In order to qualify for the $10/month plan you need to subscribe for atleast the $39/month cellular plan.

Virgin Mobile USA announced today its new "Totally Unlimited" calling plan. It comes into effect on July 1st and will cost you $90. This includes unlimited nationwide calling with no roaming or other fees for $80 per month, as well as unlimited text messaging, picture messaging, instant messaging, and email for additional $10.

Rogers Wireless announced its new BlackBerry data plans, which include browsing, email, and strangely, no unlimited BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) option. Prices are as following:

• $30 - 300 MB;
• $60 - 1 GB;
• $80 - 3 GB;
• $100 - 6 GB.

Pretty expensive, though the includded data is sufficient for monthly usage, even with the upcoming 3G BlackBerry Bold.

AT&T announced unlimited voice and data plans for the 3G iPhone.

We don't know if the messaging is included in the mix, but it looks like new iPhone owners will be paying more for the data used: $30 per month for simple and $45 for business users.

Regarding voice plans, we only know that the pricing will start from $39.95, but a more detailed pricelist will be available when the device actually ships.

Here we go again. Following Verizon and AT&T, Sprint is the next U.S. carrier to offer 5GB of "unlimited" data plan.

Once the Terms of Service are modified on July 13, if you violate the 5GB limit or exceed 300MB of data while roaming, the company will have "the right to limit throughput speeds or amount of data transferred and to deny, terminate, modify, or suspend service".

Sprint's division, Boost Mobile, has announced its own Unlimited Chat Plan.

Subscribers will now have unlimited nights and weekends, unlimited mobile-to-mobile calls, and unlimited SMS for just $1 per day. Daytime minutes will cost $0.10 each.
