Question

Does it cost to use the gps function on the iphone 3g?

Answer 1

Yes and no.

GPS does not cost anything to use (AT&T's other GPS does because they have their own GPS software). The government controls the satellites, not AT&T or Apple.

That being said, the maps that makes the GPS useful requires data (otherwise you get a blue dot on a blank screen).

Assuming you have a legit iPhone 3G plan, then you have unlimited data and therefore, it would not cost anything to use.

However if you unlocked it and don't have an unlimited data plan...prepare for an enormous bill.

Answer 2

No GPS is free. but you have to pay for internet if you use google maps.

Answer 3

NO all AT&T iPhones required to have the IPhone plan ($30) it includes unlimited Internet, GPS is included you don't have to worry about it.  

Answer 4

Not if you are using wi-fi but yes if you are out and about because although it doesn't cost anything to find your position it costs money to show the map which has your position because iphone doesn't have maps preloaded (they need to be downloaded).
