While the data costs are cheaper than they used to be, I'm not aware of anyone with unlimited data plans. Certainly not for $35/month. You may come across the occasional individual who got grandfathered in years ago but that's not relevant to the OP most likely.
Depends on your definition of "unlimited". Virgin Mobile has a $35/mo plan that has unlimited data, although only the first 1Gig is hi-speed and after that it is throttled. The plan includes 100 min of talk time, but after being with it for one year they moved me to unlimited talk time for the same price. The downside is it runs on the Sprint network and doesn't roam, so unless Sprint has a tower in the area where you are there is no connection.
T-Mobile has a $30/mo prepaid plan that is very similar. I can't tell if it is limited to only T-Mobile towers or if it roams though and their policies on roaming data seem pretty restrictive. To get the T-Mobile plan you have to search for it on their web page and sign up online. It says it is for phones purchased at Walmart, but any phone compatible with their network will work as long as it's unlocked.
I haven't checked AT&T or (shudder) Verizon, but I'm guessing they probably offer similar plans. You just have to dig deep on the various web sites to find them.
