IMHO I think it's better to just stream Slacker Radio (or Pandora) for $0.
Make sure you don't have one of the new iPhone plans for $25. You only get 2GB of usage and that equals 2 hours of streaming radio per day to use the entire monthly allowance. And that is without email, web browsing or apps!

I recommend everyone to get onto an unlimited plan with your carrier. I work in the wireless industry and all carriers are going to have tiered data pricing like AT&T just did in the very near future. Get grandfathered in!!
for iPhone users on AT&T, I've heard unlimited really isnt unlimited...after 5GB they charge you.
Unlimited on smartphones is exactly what it says...unlimited. However, many carriers set a threshold such as 5GB and once you hit that they don't charge extra, but they "throttle down" your connection to a slower speed to prevent you from using too much bandwith.
Your confusion is that on Wireless Broadband cards there is a 5GB cap that users pay overage on when they exceed that cap.
Anybody who was an existing customer and had a smartphone on AT&T before the new iPhone 4 still has unlimited usage. Customers who are new to the iPhone or AT&T have a 2GB data cap and pay for overages.
I googled it last night...its true. They dont charge you the first time, but like blackjack said, if you go over constantly you will get charge. interesting. I never go over ~1.2GB anyway so im good!
