AT&T has confirmed that 2G iPhone Plans will remain available for those using the original iPhone, according to a TidBITS report.
The company gave me an answer this afternoon: The current 2G iPhone plans will continue to be available for people who want to start up new service plans with someone's old phone. That means a 2G iPhone buyer or gift recipient can pay $20 per month for unlimited EDGE and 200 text messages (combined incoming and outgoing); plans with additional text messages along with family plans are still available, too. The equivalent iPhone 3G service plan is $35 per month: $30 for unlimited 3G, and $5 for 200 text messages; you can choose no text message bundle, but then pay a whopping 20 cents per SMS.
