OK thanks for the replies, looks like 500 MB is more than enough.

we have both the iphone 4 and the iphone 3g its too early to tell with the iphone 4 but on my 3g i have a 1gig plan and its enough i did go over 500mb a few times so like some one mentioned start off on the cheapest plan and then if you need more thell bump it up no prob. the good thing about my 3g was i got all kinds of free packages to try out all free for a few months but the iphone 4 never offered any bonuses of anykind for anytime it was jump right into a plan

best phone youll ever have

My findings are the same as all of the posters above (3GS)..

My wife and I are on a family plan and that seems the best price. I think we pay about $110 per month for both phones. (Rogers Vancouver Area)

I also tether. I love having that option when I'm on the go and have to send something that is time sensitive! Thank goodness we live in Canada.. Tethering is disabled in the USA!

Also if you travel.. you can get international text, voice, and data plans. They aren't too bad.. and MUCH cheaper than just going without a plan. We get them for work or whenever we travel. It is nice when we're in the US and my wife is shopping.. and I'm "shopping" with the kids.. we can text each other when we're done...

I picked up the iphone 4 last month at Rogers.
They had a promo on (I think its still until the end of the month) with their data package its was $25/ 500mb or $30 for 6GB.
Needless to say i went with the 6GB.
I dont think i will ever come close to putting more than a small dent in it, but hey its there incase I do.

It can be one hell of a bill when you tether it to a pc and they start charging you per KB, like this poor guy.
