AT&T Plan Question

[chrisfNET]

So, so there are no surprises when I get my first bill..

The new plans indicated "Unlimited" data and internet usage. So, are there any fine-print exclusions I should know about? I want to be able to get online, check my e-mail, use visual voicemail.. do whatever.. whenever without penalty.

Am I safe?

Yea, the unlimited data plan is for anything that the iPhone can do online.

(Just don't use it as an internet modem)

Haha.

Good. Good..

I wouldn't do that, that'd eat your minutes..

Good question!

I have often wondered the same thing.

Wonder how much that data plan is?

cheapest is $70 per month with 450 minutes, unlimited data, plus another $5 or $20 more for texts

I think AT&T may define unlimited as 5GB per month (like both Sprint and Verizon - Sprint making their change relatively recently)

They don't start billing you after 5GB, but keep it in mind - also watch your international use.

AND with all the bs taxes and fees you can add $10 to the $70 each month
And most people are forced to get the $5 messaging pkg now. If you don't
you pay $.20 for every text received.

Count on around $80 or $85 (with texting) and taxes minimum with cheapest
450 minute plan.

That's pretty much what I was figuring..

Thanks!

Or you can do what I did and have a block put on text messages. No charge at all for texting then. Use something like AIM instead.

Without the texting I'm paying exactly what I paid for my previous phone every month. Since I never used texting I won't miss it at all.

You make it sound like texts are required when their not.

True, you can skate by on over 5gb if it's a one or two time sudden spike, but routine use will flag your account.

Although unless you are tethering and using torrents or itunes it's pretty damn difficult to do 5gb worth of email and web. Not impossible, but that's a LOT to do routinely. It's more of an issue if you tether than it is for on-device use.

If you don't want them don't add them
