Let me know if they change their policies, ok? I've been confused by AT&T's plans for all of the 8+ years I've used them! :-) Pixelmystic,

Great news! Let me know if they change their policies, ok?

I’ve been confused by AT&T’s plans for all of the 8+ years I’ve used them! :-)

So, you were right: AT&T’s enterprise plan probably provides the same functionality for corporate customers, but at a higher price. Sort of like buying a land line: if you’re buying it for home, you pay less than if you’re buying it for a business. I can’t believe I am the only person who has been confused by AT&T’s website, as well as some online reviews, regarding the new iPhone’s data plan. At any rate, all’s well that ends well. Steve Steve,

My understanding was that the Enterprise plans were for businesses who would presumably need extra support and would sign up customers in bulk. The iPhone is different from the BlackBerry, where you need to get AT&T's enterprise plan to use BES instead of BIS. Please do try it and report back here on how it goes. I'm sure lots of others would love to know! And of course, you can always upgrade your plan if you need to. Steve,

There are two data plans for the new phone, and of course the cheapest of those is more expensive than your plan, presumably because the new phone can pump more data through AT&T's 3G network. But, regardless of price, the fact that they are even offering two plans, the more expensive of which is deemed an "Enterprise" plan, gives me pause. I have decided to be optimistic about being able to access Exchange, and use the phone's VPN connectivity while operating under the cheaper data plan. Now, if my backordered phone would only hurry up and get here so I could find out for sure. . . Steve Stephen,

I'm using the same data plan as before...

I have a 3G iPhone on order, and one thing I can't seem to find a firm answer on is whether or not you really do need AT&T's more expensive PDA Enterprise data plan, as opposed to its cheaper PDA Personal data plan, in order to sync with Exchange. The official word from AT&T, via their sales personnel, their website, and some online reviewsof the phone would have you believe that you need the more expensive plan, but I've also seen evidence to the contrary. So, does the cheaper data plan do the trick? Thanks for this great information.
