This was with the cheapest data plan, using Textfree for as much texting as possible (with no texting plan just paying a per text fee that came directly to my phone.
And I had to turn off all of Settings > Notifications and only manually turn on the Notifications for the apps that I was most interested in updates from: TextFree and my banking app.
This was nice to finally get a bill that was this cheap but I also had at least 10+ dropped calls at my place of work (the signal is very weak there) so I am still considering switching to Verizon, just trying to decide whether to do it now, or switch when a possible iPhone 5 is released in June (but the big question is, if there is an iPhone 5 released in June will it immediately be available on AT&T AND Verizon simultaneously?

How about a mid-range option? 200 MB is ridiculous.

Obviously using textfree is still cheaper and nearly as easy.
Is a New Texting Plan AT&T’s First Verizon iPhone Counteroffensive? [Unconfirmed]: “
![160x120 atttextingplan Is a New Texting Plan AT&Ts First Verizon iPhone Counteroffensive? [Unconfirmed]](http://cache-04.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2011/01/160x120_atttextingplan.jpg "Click here to read Is a New Texting Plan AT&Ts First Verizon iPhone Counteroffensive?")
According to this leaked photo over at Gear Live, AT&Ts going to be reworking its messaging plans next week. The $5/200 and $15/1500 texting plans will disappear, and in their place? A simplified system that beats Verizons messaging offering handily. More »

The least expensive bill for AT&T service for my iPhone 4 (since the first part of July when I got it) is $63.97 (this is for one individual there may be a cheaper way of doing it with a family plan)
To get this price I had to:
* pay for only 450 minutes of daytime calling, 5000 nights/weekends and unlimited mobile to mobile. $39.99/month
* pay for only 200 MB of data (which basically means you RARELY use your 3G internet connection on your phone and ALWAYS update your APPS over WIFI and try to do as much surfing as possible over WIFI). $15/month
* pay a per message charge for texting (for those of your friends/family that don’t know you use an additional free texting phone number):
regular text message= 20 cents
picture text message= 30 cents
This cost INCLUDES all the taxes and charges that are added on (Utah)
***Hopefully AT&T will get better service (I have had 4+ dropped calls standing outside in a parking lot near a fairly major city) and/or more options (a mid range data plan, now they have 200 MB or 2GB and nothing else) if/when Apple decides to use other carriers (hopefully January, 2011)

I have tried two free iPhone texting/text message apps:
TextNow – seemed to have more of a delay in sending the texts, and at least once they sent a garbled text, doesn’t let you have your own texting phone number (at least it didn’t when I tried it a few months ago (July 2010).
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textnow-unlimited-free-texting/id314716233?mt=8
and Textfree – sometimes their servers are overrun and you have to resend the text (it is saved) in a few minutes, no garbled texts, texts sent quickly, one ad right below where you click to start entering a text (which is probably the worst spot for it). These are my only complaints it is a great texting program. My online banking app refused to use my Textfree number to send account alerts to (it must have recognized that it was a text-only phone number?).
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textfree-unlimited-send-text/id305925151?mt=8
I am using Textfree ONLY now (the least expensive texting plan with AT&T is $5/month for 200 texts) and just paying per message fees until I get my friends to text me on my Textfree phone number. So to equal the cost of the cheapest AT&T texting plan you could receive at least 24 plain texts/$4.80 and still save money.
AT&T per message fees for the iPhone (09/27/2010)
regular text message= 20 cents
picture text message= 30 cents
Your mileage (cost) may vary.
