Very confusd - How much does the iPhone cost?

[Con04]

Hey, I'm new to all this.
I understand that the iPhone (4gb Model) is $499 USD, but then is that that, and you can use the iPhone? Or do you have to pay monthly too? If so, How long for?- Can't you just use your own Sim Card in it?

The 4GB model is $499 and the 8GB model is $599 USD. Both require a two year contract with AT&T and the monthly plans start st $59.99 per month for phone service and unlimited data (email, web, etc.). Both models come with their own sim card.

Hope that helps...welcome to EI.com

Oh right, So it'd be impossible to just not buy this contract and use my own simcard?
