Right, I was including texting, which on AT&T and Verizon, does not come as a part of your data plan. So, once you've payed your $75, and add about $10 worth of taxes, your in the ball park of $90 as I said. Because after all, if you don't want to text, and you don't want data, your probably not getting an iPhone to begin with.
