My 156-Page (Cingular / AT&T) iPhone Bill

My 156-Page (Cingular / AT&T) iPhone Bill by hanapbuhay.
Not as bad as Justine Ezarik's 300-page iPhone Bill, but I was still surprised when I received it.

We only used 176MB of their EDGE network and they logged every single time we used it. Also, I thought signing up for paperless statements a few weeks ago would stop this from getting mailed, but I guess it was too late.

I think almost all service providers do this -- detailed billing. I've never been on a data plan, so I've never been exposed to this type of waste, but I hope the recent publicity will make them rethink how to handle this.

I don't think I used my iPhone that much. About a 5MB per day average. It's not that much if you add up RSS, email and the stock ticker.

@Rafael Pangilinan - I hope the recent publicity will alert iPhone users (and possibly many smartphone users) to turn on Paperless Statements.
