In upgrading from an iPhone 3G to a iPhone 3G S, customers outside the upgrade period will incur an additional $200 fee (in addition to extending their contract another 2 years). Existing AT&T Customers also need to pay $36 for an Activation and Upgrade fee. Having no text message plan would reduce the total cost of ownership of the 3G and 3G S iPhones by $120.
