Official word has hit the street on pricing for iPhone 3G plans. See the pix above to find out how hard you’ll have to squeeze the piggy bank each month starting a week from Friday.

If your finger hurts hurts too much to click the thumbnails, here’s the lowdown on the range of pricing:

450 anytime minutes, unlimited data, no text messaging plan: $69.99 / month plus 20¢ per text message. That’s the low end.

On the high end, $149.99 / month for unlimited voice, data and text messaging.

Through the miracle of math, we can see that if you send more than 13.3 text messages per day, the low-end plan becomes more expensive than the high-end plan. Except in February, when you’d save about $5.50.

MMS messaging is free for all iPhone 3G users, seeing as how the iPhone 3G doesn’t do MMS.
