Everyone and their grandma (not to mention aunt, uncle, and sister) are now offering unlimited calling plans like it’s going out of style. So, it was only a matter of time before AT&T brought the all-you-can-eat wireless calling plan craze to the iPhone users’ doorsteps.  That’s right, AT&T is now offering the an unlimited calling plan for iPhone.

For $119.99 per month, you get the same unlimited mobile to mobile calling, unlimited nights/weekends, 200 SMS text messages, Rollover minutes, Visual Voicemail, and unlimited data that all other iPhone plans offer (with the exception of the lowest tier iPhone plan – which only offers 5000 night/weekend minutes) but with an unlimited allotment of wireless minutes. The new Unlimited iPhone plan is not available in Alaska, but if you feel like shelling out a buck-twenty, you can throw caution to the wireless-wind and talk up your friends until they tell you to stop calling.

Interestingly, the Unlimited iPhone plan only offers 200 SMS text messages. AT&T seems set on limited the number of included SMS text messages, essentially “encouraging” iPhone users to buy a messaging plan. You’d think that for a Jackson north of a C-note, AT&T would include a few more text messages – but then you’d be wrong.

Have at it. I’m staying with my “limited” iPhone plan…
