Heeeeelllllll No!!! I'm not signing up to pay another $30 for something I'll rarely use. If they do lump it in with the other iPhone plan, they had better not make us pay extra. I'll be fine if it adds 5 dollars but not 30.
to not include this in the already $30 "unlimited" data plan is just plain stupid. i'm definitely not going to pay $60/mo to use data on my phone and data on my computer. there's enough places with free wireless these days that somehow i'll get by . . .
Now that the smart phone category, thanks to the iPhone, is becoming a more common product, these prices will drop.
Before their potential customers were business users. Now their potential customers are ... everyone. So there will be a lot more price competition in the tethering market I think.
That is, once some other iPhone clones get onto other carriers.
SIXTY BUCKS A MONTH ?????? #@%*!
and that's only for data! add on voice plan and text, and you're OVER $100 !
w t f ?
okay, seriously, how many people do you really think will sign up for this when they can just get WiFi for free ?
do you not understand that this is the way it currently works with other smartphones on at&t? if you look on at&t's site you will see that for a phone like the blackjack 2 the pda personal + tethering plan is $60/month, and the same with the rest of the 3G pda/smartphones.
wake up, this is how at&t prices their unlimited 3G data plans with tethering. im just going to assume that all the whining being done in this thread is ignorance because the other option is a disturbing sense of entitlement.
Um, where I work, we have over 300 people signed up for $60 data plans on Verizon (that's $45 for BlackBerry data + $15 to tether).SIXTY BUCKS A MONTH ?????? #@%*!

how would AT&T be able to tell by the traffic?

Until then, AT&T has us over a barrel -- if we want to keep our iPhones (and not violate our contracts). I keep kicking myself that I didn't grab NetShare....

NEWS FLASH: $30/month is standard for smartphone tethering plans on AT&T.
stop crying.
My guess is that they don't want most people to buy it. So they price it at a price that will make it worth while to them, and keep demand low.
If you don't like it, don't pay for it. You don't have to own an iPhone and you don't have to use AT&T.
For some of us it is worth it.
Wow, $30 a month? Sorry, but that is way to expensive and I will not be signing up for this.
Unless they redo their tethering prices on all smartphones then its going to be $30 a month on top of whatever you pay. They don't care that you have unlimited on the iphone just like on any other smartphone plan.
Think its too much in my opinion especially if att is going to limit it to 5gb a month. I would consider paying $10 a month for it but more then that and it becomes "i can live without it" feature
