From $59.99 (r430) per month gets you

All iPhone service plans include Visual Voicemail and unlimited data — Internet and email — so you only have to decide how many minutes and SMS text messages you need. You’ll select your plan when you activate your iPhone using iTunes on your computer.

How much downloading do you think they're going to want to do on their phone? Everyone is still going home to their cheap high speed broadband access.

I dont see any local providers offering anything close to this anyhow - edge or not.
