The phone is $200. Adding an extra line to a FamilyTalk plan is $9.99/month along with a $15/month data plan, bringing the monthly total to $24.99/month. I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers, but they are grossly exaggerated. Furthermore, the article doesn't say anywhere that the author bought his step-child an iPhone.

True, it could be a touch or iPad. I'll give you that.

I remember looking at the plans when I first got my iPhone and there were no company or family discounts at all. They must have changed that. My bill hits around $100/month for my 3GS.

It does mention iPhone specifically:

"It’s an aquarium on your iPhone that requires you to take care of your fish."
