That is my plan and it will actually work out great for me because I am on a Business FAN account and the $30 unlimited plan actually only costs $22.80 with my service discount. Can I just call them and ask them to change it? It won't extend my contract/make me ineligible for upgrade to new iphone? I am eventually going to call them and ask but I'm at work and just wondering if anyone knows?
Thanks
so your data is limited, AND you have to pay more every month for tethering...
yeah. great plan.
great company.
awesome.

The graph gives you your data by month, the main page gives it to you by billing period. You've used 283 in May as a whole but only 212 within your May billing period.
As of yesterday the planned tethering plan was assumed to cost $60.
Now it'll cost $40.
How is that "more?"
Surprised
I was mad when I first read about the caps. I was happy though to be grand fathered in with unlimited. Then I checked my usage. I've never gone above 150MB and my wife has never gone above 100MB. So that means we can save $30/ month by both dropping to the low plan.

Same story here. I think this will turn out to be a good thing for us, at least on the iPhone. Still ticked off about the bait-and-switch on the iPad plans though.
Delays up to FIVE business days?
What the hell? Does this information require paperwork and postage? I'm sure it will take AT&T a matter of minutes to charge a penalty if we go over.

Sorry if this has already been posted...
**New iPhone customers, listen up**
Just got off the phone with AT&T. The unlimited plan will still be offered for the iPhone after June 7th - they're just adding two new plans. What is going away is the unlimited iPad plan.
Here's a link to the press release:
http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=4800&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=30854
Nowhere dos it mention replacing the current iPhone unlimited plan.
**sigh of relief**

I just got off the phone with some Customer Service person at ATT with zero satisfaction. I really think she had no idea what she was talking about. She said that tethering is only for smartphones, not my iPhones. ??? Is this true?
Can someone confirm:
If I switch to the 2GB plan on my iPhone and or my husband's, will we be able to tether our iPad (we have 3G) to it?

The only thing I find annoying is that the $15 plan is only 200MB. It is just enough to push most people to the $25 plan.
Just took a look at our usage.
I averaged 194.8MB over the last 6 months (one high (400MB+) and one low month (under 100MB).
My fiancée averaged 204.9MB over the last 6 months (with one high month and one low month).
Will probably go with the 200MB plan, but if they would have made it 250MB or 300MB it would be a much easier decision.

What will they (AT&T) do if you've got some unknown usage?
Sounds weird, but I looked at my last month's bill and there's close to 3GB of data usage resulting from activity every night between 2am-3am. I'm pretty sure I'm not sleep-surfing, so somewhere in my phone there's something generating some pretty big data transfer activity.....
I'm trying to get AT&T to help me identify what it is, but all I've gotten from the helpful CSR so far is "don't worry; you've got an unlimited plan...."
True, but if I had a capped plan and this was happening I'd be freaking out!
Anyone else noticed this?

This has nothing to do with Steve Jobs or Apple. It is for all AT&T customers.
Don't bother calling anyone at AT&T or Apple on the days iPhone announcements are made.
They usually find out later today or in the next day or two.
There's just no point in bothering them right now. You know more than they do from having read Macrumors this morning.
So, my employer switched our email to an Exchange server, from IMAP, in April. Guess what it did to my data usage on my EDGE iPhone?
As it stands, my iPhone connects to 7 different email accounts (3 self-hosted IMAP, 1 gmail, 1 mac.com, 1 professional IMAP and 1 professional Exchange).
I can't imagine what my data usage would look like if I were able to stream over 3G, instead of being limited by EDGE.

I started using MyWi in May, which is why the data is high. I only use it during school in a classroom where I don't have Wi-Fi. I also share my connection with 2 other Netbooks.
I'll be switching to the $15 plan and stop using MyWi. Saving $20 a month sounds like a deal to me.
I listen to games over 3G at work a couple times a week. My other usage could be described as average safari/maps/email/occassional iTunes download. With five days left in my billing cycle I'm at 338 MB.
So, an MLB at bat game can't be that big.
That used to happen with my Blackberry! I called ATT and the person said it was Blackberry doing some updates. ? I would be po'd if I were on a limited plan.
