Then move to Hong Kong. Hutchison has worked it out so that those in Hong Kong and Macau can spend as little as $24/month for data/voice. You’ll have to pay $377 for an 8GB iP3G, but it’s still the cheapest compared to those announced across various carriers/countries.
Some comparisons (all expressed in U.S. dollars for the equivalent of a 2-year contract):
* Hutchison in Hong Kong: $955 (500MB voice and data) to $1,532 (2,200 min., unlimited data)
* O2 (TEF) in the U.K.: $1,698 (75 minutes, unlimited data) to $3,588 (3000 min., unlimited data)
* AT&T (T) in the U.S.: $1,879 (450 min., unlimited data) to $3,318 (unlimited voice and data)
* T-Mobile (DT) in Germany: $1,366 (500MB data) to $3,374 (5GB data)
* Rogers (RCI) in Canada: $1,624 (150 min., 400 MB data) to $2,932 (800 min., 2GB data)

You seem to be missing the rumours in the UK about the pay and go packege from O2. The phone (16GB) will cost £359 ($717) with free UNLIMITED data for 6 months, followed by £10 ($20) per month. This is fully unlimited data… That seems pretty cheap to me.

Wow that’s less than half of the next country on most counts!

Look carefully, for the 16GB w/ max plan, one is playing 700USD upfront and ~36USD per month.
Not as cheap as it sounds but not bad either.
Note that in HK minutes are super cheap.

Sorry, I didn’t quite get it. Maybe it’s because while you guys here are talking about plans for your 3G iPhone, we were just in the dinosaur age with cellphones…nah, when will we ever get there?
