Data Plan

[SelfMade17]

how much is a 2gb data plan worth?
like do you think its enough to use the same 2gb for iphone stuff..like email checking..web browsing a bit..youtubing..and some other small items..and also use the tehtering for laptop to check email, possibly do listings or edit listings..and do paypal transactions??

2GB data plan? I didn't know they had a plan that small.

If you don't abuse it, then yeah I guess it may be enough.. but a few hours on YouTube and you can eat up a lot of that data quickly.

Maybe you should look into jail-breaking your iPhone, and using the PDA app for tethering.

yeah. AT&T highest plan is freaking 2gb! so if i end up tethering my iphone with 2gb...would it work out well?if im just doing minor things like in my previous post. i wish AT&t had unlimited data plan again :(

[ptenchick]

I have an AT&T unlimited data plan for my iPhone (3gs).
It's $30 a month.

[SelfMade17]

they don't have that available anymore...its not an option when i signed up for my iphone 4..
they stopped having unlimited because of it flooded the system alot and stuff..i think..

Boo...hissss ptenchick ha.

I'm starting to look at data plans too but i'm not so tech advanced

[aspkin]

Jailbreak + PdaNet might be your best bet.

[SelfMade17]

yes i guess..saves me $20 a month extra. haha but umm with PdaNet does that use my share of the 2gb data plan a month?

[lakeman]

Yes Pdanet would use your 2gb.. All it is, is a program to tether your iPhone to your computer. It doesn't save you data usage.

[SelfMade17]

blah. okay. but it saves me $20 extra to AT&T..but would 2gb be enough to just like check email..facebook..check ebay/paypal..possibly do some listings..and edit listings and some youtube videos?

Really? They start at 500mb here. For like $30. 1gb $40, 2 GB $45, 5Gb, $60

Thats Just data. You need to add phone, voice mail, call display...

On my business blackberry I have a very basic plan. 200 minutes and 500 mb data - $70 a month.

Cell service rates in Canada suck balls.

damn thats so expensive..wow...its $25 for 2gb...
o.O

[ptenchick]

Oh... I didn't know....

Its insane. I went through all the companies just yesterday. I wanted to add some data to one of my blackberry's to tether. And the absolute cheapest setup I could find for just 1gb of data and phone was over $90.

I had to pay, and get this, an extra $7 for voice mail, not included. OR $10 for voice mail and call display, also not included. Sad. One company was $60 for everything with a whopping 500 mb data. I went with that just to test how much data I would go thru on light use.

And we don't have unlimited on smart-phones.
