I will be starting at PwC in September and was curious if they had a
smartphone plan for their employees? I currently have an iphone and was
hopefully this might work? Could anybody provide any insight?

i used to work at pwc and they do have smartphone plans but when i was there (i left three months ago) iphones were not among the choices.  i believe all my choices were blackberries.  also, you'll have to either use your personal number and transfer it to your pwc phone or you'll have to get a new work number.  i heard, not sure how true it is, but i heard that if you transfer your personal number and leave the firm, you will have to surrender that number.  i chose to keep my personal number on my personal cell and get a pwc blackberry with a separate number. when i left, i just cancelled my work number, had no effect on my personal number at all.  but i got to keep the blackberry, so that was a plus. 

good luck at pwc, i loved it there, just had a better opportunity present itself at the right time.

Thank you for the feedback. I hope your new opportunity is working
out for you. I am moving to PwC after 4 years in a local firm. I am
pretty excited. Does PwC pick most of the bill?

thank you :)  you don't even see the bill, it goes directly to pwc.  that's why i wanted to keep personal separate from business, in case they got picky about personal calls/texts.  plus i wasn't all that comfortable with them having access to my personal phone records.  best of luck to you!
