My Biggest Complaint About Apple iPhone And AT&T - Additional Message Charges

Has anyone noticed the extra charge listed in the last sentence of the iPhone service agreement. It says:

Minimum new 2-year wireless service plan and activation fee required to activate iPhone features, including iPod; plans are subject to AT&T credit approval. AT&T also imposes monthly a Regulatory Cost Recovery Charge of up to $1.25 to help defray costs incurred in complying with State and Federal telecom regulations; State and Federal Universal Services Charges; and surcharges for customer-based and revenue-based state and local assessments on AT&T. These are not taxes or government-required charges. International messages not included. Charges for international messages sent from the U.S. are 20¢ for Text Messages and 50¢ for Picture/Video Messages. Additional charges for premium messages and content apply. Messages over 300KBs billed at additional 50¢ per message.

Does this mean if you receive an email message over 300K its an additional .50 cent charge per message?

It would appear that “Unlimited web/email” isnt exactly “unlimited” so to speak. Or it might be “unlimited” as long as you dont receive emails or message with a 300K or more attachment? Or does this just apply to SMS?

With all the clear cut legal speak in the service agreement why the ambiguity on the statement about the extra charge?
