    Im a lucky enough ####### to have been grandfathered on Att's old unlimited plan... I think right now sprint and virgin mobile are the only ones offering unlimited data of any sort.

    If i buy extra data it will cost me $20 for just 3 gb data. It is expensive. $135 everything unlimited is the best. Is that possible for me to change?

    Im on 2 years contract. I use a lot of data every month,up to 100gb sometimes. You can always call them and check. I was with verizon and switched to ewireless,no charge

    I use around 6-8GB a month watching TV shows when waiting at docks and I'm local! I've got unlimited so I'm sloppy about it but watching legit movies is gonna use a lot of data. Also double check to see if ATT cares whether data is through the phone or tethered, you can get around that either way by rooting but something you want to know. Plus, since I'm a douche I leave all my video settings on HD which doesn't help (why by a phone with a good screen and not use it right?) LOL!

    Unfortunately data is the new cash cow for them. They figured that out after the iPhone came out and ATT's network was taxed nearly to the brink of overload...

    What type of things do you do online for it to reach 100GB? It is going to cost $165 for 40GB of data and if I want 60GB, it'll cost me over $200!!!!:biggrin_2553::biggrin_2553:

    Oh man, it uses that much data lol. I will have to be careful on how I use my internet then so it can last me a month lol. Hopefully 1 tv show a night is good and surfing the web to read some stuff :)
