Just thought I would let everyone know what actually happened. Thank you for all the help. Youall are not going to believe this one. After hours of being on the phone with first ATT and them not finding any problems they transferred me to apple. then apple support had me on forever too, including restoring my phone to original format etc. Nothing worked. I get home and my wife told me she called att and added unlimited text to our plan. I said "Ill bet you did it about the time I lost data". Sure enough, called att and they said I had no data plan. ATT lady said "cant believe that they could even do that since its mandatory that I have the data plan". She flipped a switch and then all was good except I had to do a restore from backup that took forever again!. Go figure huh! Anyway, thanks again everyone
