Well gee, since AT&T said it....that must be true!
When AT&T raised my bill last time, they told me that I was winning by paying more! They were right! I won! Yeah!
Got a tip for us?

You quoted the laptop connect unlimited data plan terms.
The iPhone Unlimited Data Plan TOS does not and never has had ANY soft caps.
It has always been unlimited.
I think it probably is true considering the availability of wifi between home, work and hotspots.
Realize that just because people use less than 200mb or 2gb of CELLULAR DATA, does not mean they use less GENERAL data than those who use 2+gbs regularly.

Impressive. It only took 3 hours for your post to ring true!
Guess Verizon is an idiot to business. But who is really surprised? They can both compete and make less money or they can compete and make more.
I'm interested to see how Verizon will price out the hotspot. That is one thing I'd love to see come to AT&T, but not if it's going to be cost prohibitive.

yeah, maybe by the time Verizon gets the iPhone 6, they will have the 4G network in more than 27 cities in the US. 🙄 Their network needs to catch up with their commercials about nationwide 4G.

You are the guys who are tying up the AT&T network and are the reason the limit was imposed.
I'm not sure you understand the legal responsibilities of a public corporation making official comments to the public.

Yeah, the MILLIONS of business people on Verizon never get ANYTHING done. I'm suprised they are able to keep a job at all, with the lack of...what did you call it? Multi-tasking? Yes, the iPhone can't check calendars or read emails or attachment previously sent without a concurrent data connection. Verizon customers are getting screwed 🙄

Uh... my post? Or Verizon's dangling carrot? If it's the former, take a peek at the Macrumors main page. The update was posted at the bottom of the article.

I have yet to be able to find the unlimited iPhone data tos on atts website any longer. Pretty sure though I read it on there when it was current. Great though if I'm wrong. To Netflix I go.

Need calling plan?
Do you actually need to sign up for a calling plan? Or can you just sign up for a data plan only?

Really? How about $30 for unlimited everything on my iPhone 4. It's called Google Voice. Activated iPad Microsim -> iPhone 4 = cheapest, most incredible phone plan on this planet.

I have unlimited data. Don't usually use that much. But like some have said, its nice to have so you don't have to worry about it at the end of the month. As far as those ETF's not so hard to get out of if you do some reading.
The whole email...web..while you talk thing...i must say i tried it once. Not such a big deal to me. I have actually had no issues with AT&T's service so i wont be going back to Verizon.

The 5GB cap is for data cards, not phones! I have consistenly used over 5gb on my droid each month and haven't seen any extra fees or slower speeds.

Because "any other carrier" uses the same type of hardware.
Unless they make a phone that supports both gsm and CDMA, it is not that certain that they will release both sets of hardware at he same time.

why would he be unhappy? you don't think the iphone 5 will come to verizon this summer? why would apple not release it at the same time as any other carrier

I think it should against the LAW to say "unlimited" and then place a limit on it. It's bait & switch, pure and simple. I think they should have to pay a fine, reimburse the customer somehow and then give them the unlimited they signed up for.
I think the average person has no idea what 5GB is so perhaps it would be an interesting commercial to show the layman how much internet is involved in a 5GB limit. "5GB -- that's a 1,000 songs or 10,000 web pages or 15 full length hollywood movies" -- something tangible so that people who don't know will understand that it's a lot of data. At least that way, the carrier isn't just lying to the country when they say Unlimited and then impose a cap on it.
Agreed. I would have happily left AT&T a long time ago if there was a carrier in my area that did 3G (AT&T has me on EDGE, still [can you believe that?!]) -- but I refuse to go with another company because I love the iPhone too much. Once all the carriers have the iPhone, we'll see some true competition. AT&T, you had your time to turn me into a lifetime loyal customer -- and you blew it! As it stands, I just can't wait to be shut of you!
These types of posts kill me. Could you please explain WHY you feel he'll be "extremely disappointed come june/july"? If it's your opinion, just explain what that opinion actually is! Is it really that hard to have a position and to clearly explain it?!

silly rabbit IF sprint were to ever get the iPhone they would have the same pricing on it as Verizon and AT&T...Sprint can offer those budget plans now because they are 4th (basically in last place) among US carriers and they are desperate for customers and they don't really have a "killer" handset
(the EVO? NO)
Comcast home broadband says unlimited. And it says capped at 250GB in the fine print. Or 150, I forget. A couple months I came within 60% of the cap, never really got close.
Hmm, I tend to average 25-30mph when congested. So 5x that would be lots of fun!
To get a phone subsidy, any phone, you will need a calling plan with contract. If you already have a plan, you just need to add data for a smartphone. (and a 2 year contract) I believe this is the same for ATT, VZW, and TMob. (well, no iPhone on TMob) You might be able to play games with only an iPad data plan, at least on ATT with the SIM cards.

Not to be picky but if you pay 115$ then its not 800$ worth of calls, it will be 115 or less worth of calls, the call can never, and will never be "worth" more than you pay for it.
Just saying 🙂

You mean like T-Mobile where they throttle you down to Edge speeds once you exceed 5GB of data?
Not really. If we want to leave we pay the breakup fee.

Either he doesn't think verizon will get the iphone 5 or he doesn't think it's coming this summer. Personnally I think it will be a minor bump akin to 3G>3GS, the exciting stuff will be happening summer '06
