Should be up/down.

Keep in mind, that is your data usage since you reset the statistics. (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

lolol. i just confused myself by checking

the 2g is towards being sent or recieved or both?

I think its on receiving because in order to surf the web and use some apps you need to receive the information

Guys, you are paying to "send and receive data"...

Here is a handy calculator to figure out which plan is for you (AKA - hand over your wallet!!!): Data Calculator

bones321 · 06-09-2010, 08:17 AM

you got me on it, im sold. going to go preorder one now

WanganRunner · 06-09-2010, 08:57 AM

There has to be a business plan for unlimited usage again eventually, this will be nuts.

I'm at 360mb sent, 7.4GB received so far this month.

The only possible use I can think of for this is something like ChatRoulette. I don't know many people with iPhones, fewer who will buy the 4, and then WiFi only? It'll be cool in a few years.

I'm looking forward to the 3DS more than this thing though.

The unlimited plan question is a good one, although since it's a work plan, I don't really care.

Big downside to me. It only works with other iPhone 4 users and only works on WiFi. Yikes! What are the chances of calling someone and them having an iPhone 4 and both of you guys being in a WiFi area?

So even if you go over your gb limit, they will just bump it up another gig. So instead of paying some exorbitant fee, your overage won't be as high.

Most of this is coming from people who will being going online with the ipad, as well as people who will and are currently trying to get around the charges by tethering to their iphone by ways of a jailbreak app.

All current unlimited data plan clients will not have to worry about the gigabyte restriction.

I will be the first to admit that I am getting an iphone, but I do find it funny that apple hasn't really don't anything revolutionary.

Their only claim to fame for me is making a good touchscreen.

The rest is shit that has been out forever.

Front facing video camera phone. ZOMG. Those have been out for over a decade, and you were able to pick them up from Asian cell phone stores; though you couldn't use it.

But whatever, I'm happy that we have a working one now.

I have to disagree with you on the 2gb cap. I'm sure a lot of people don't go over it now but with the new iPhone 4 I'm sure people will hit that limit occasionally. The new iPhone is a data hog now with Netflix coming, and ability to watch HD video's on youtube.

LeftNutOfGowd · 06-09-2010, 09:28 AM

Face it AT&T is gonna bomb with this new data crap but at the same time there out for money so they knew that a lot of people will want the new iphone and so thats why they came up with this data plan crap

Nope they did it for two reasons. Mainly to reduce the stress on their network and second to make some extra cash.

I knew my Sprint Everything Plan with the Evo looked great but now it's looking fantastic.

ronmcdon · 06-09-2010, 11:08 AM

I'm going to wait a few months more before getting another iphone through at&t.
Optimally, I'd go with a T-mobile contract w/out resorting to jailbreak.

I like Apple, not too crazy about at&t

T Mobile must be good in your area... It's fucking garbage up here.

I don't totally hate AT&T... Sometimes their "3G" is slow as fuck.

T-Mobile works well in California it also works well for me in the greater Chicago area. If its not good in your area call them up and let them know. They are pretty pro active at building towers.

I hate ATT, their customer service is the worst. Their network is data clogged. Plus they are expensive for what you get.
I had them back when they were Cingular . Left for T-Mobile and never looked back. T-Mobile works fine for me and their pricing is great. I have unlimited minutes and unlimited data $75 a month. Only company cheaper that might be worth a damn is Sprint and around here Sprint has issues.

LOL in fact all Mobile carriers in the U.S. have issues somewhere. Even Verizon, though I will admit there network is probably the largest with the most coverage of all. Though you pay for it as well.

In the end love the Iphone , will get one. Not on ATT though. LOL

Oh and ATT officially loses exclusivity on the IPhone sometime this month. Expect to see it on other carriers in the U.S. soon.

ronmcdon · 06-09-2010, 12:35 PM

Yeah at&t coverage is pretty dismal for my area
(in the hills close to Van Nuys).
Inconsistent overall in Los Angeles.

About Verizon, tbh i wasnt impressed either.
Super expensive too.
My bill w At&t works out to be approx 100/month w unlimted texting & 450 mins talk.
(half the time the signal is so poor i cant even talk on the phone)
w Verizon, same plan was around 150/month.

I do look forward to switching to tmobile.
The only thing holding me back would be if they dont offer unlimited data.
Imo, its bullshit that at&t is bieng so miserly w their data plan.
that will be their own undoing imo.

WanganRunner · 06-09-2010, 01:06 PM

AT&T covers me a lot better in DC than T-Mobile did.

sickstatus · 06-09-2010, 01:09 PM

i have 3g almost everywhere i go, i live in venutra lol

sucks how ill b moving to arizona soon, no 3g there... sadface.

i think i might still get the iphone 4 so i can just connect on wi-fi. ill b at school n home most of the time anyways.

LeftNutOfGowd · 06-09-2010, 01:19 PM

Damn all your guys bills are so high I have verizon and I pay 55 a month for like 800 shared min but I dont even talk all I did was get the BlackBerry plan which is 30 bucks then the insurance and my plan so thats another 20

My bill is not high $50 a month unlimited minutes. and $25 for the unlimited date plan. Actually your bill is not that good. You have 800 shared mins. Which means you really only have around 400 minutes for yourself.

Plus $20 for insurance is outragous. If I wanted insurance it would be $6 a month more.

No really I dont talk at all back when I was with AT&T I had like 6k rollover min on a 500min plan I just txt A LOT and my insurance is 6 bucks my plan is 10 and my bb unlimited data plan is 30 so I rounded it up to 50 bucks

I HATE texting. Its got to be the most obnoxious impersonal form of communication on the fucking planet. LOL there I said it.

Seriously though texting to me is a larger waste of time than talking. You can complete a deal in a 5 minute convo, that will and does take 15-20 minutes of back and forth when texting.

Texting is great for telling people you are on your way. Short little messages.

Not trying to do business deals or have a real convo.

Sorry its just texting sucks period. If a person has a problem with actually talking to people they have serious social skill and or psychological issues. IMO

i love txting...unlike talking on the phone, or face to face conversations...if i get tired of the person txting me, i can just ignore the txt...cant neccessaraly just walk away or hang up without seeming rude...lol

ronmcdon · 06-10-2010, 03:52 PM

geez, my phone bill w/ Verizon (at least the first 2 after I cancelled) worked out to 150/month.
Didn't even pay for insurance.
Was also using the data plan w/ the purchase of a Droid.

Switched back to At&t within 2 months.

I don't mind texting either unless there's a lot to go back & forth with.
Phone calls are about the most annoying, intrusive thing ever.
I'd rather deal with email & texting and respond at my leisure.
Doesn't hurt to have everything in writing either.

Seriously you can Steve. Its just normal social interaction. You just walk away at the end of the sentence. LOL

When I am at the meet and someone finish's saying something I walk off to check out other stuff. No rudeness its what people do.

If you don't have time you just tell the person, I would love to go on but I don't have time or I have to go know. Or can we talk about this later? Or if its late night you just say you are going to go to sleep.

Its not rude at all its what most people do. It sounds like you're a little over conscious about being polite.

When you are already a perfectly polite person, in person.

texting is more impersonal and much closer to rudeness . LOL people text you asking about the price on something? Usually they do not even say who they are. Or they say yo or dude. LOL

Its about as bad as aim. Which is slightly better except you get the same kind of rudeness.

I should add we have voices for a reason. LOL If we did not need to use our voices then we would not have one. Its the normal form of human communication, being able to talk to each other. LOL

lflkajfj12123 · 06-11-2010, 05:22 PM

You're silly. Obviously texting can never replace a good vocal conversation but texting comes in handy when you can't have a phone call.

Most of the time you don't need to have a full on conversation to get your point across and text messaging works just fine especially when you don't have to be babysitting your phone for it to ring all the time.

I agree that some people take advantage of it but that happens with everything. That's where I disagree, comparing phone calls and texting is like apples to oranges. They both have their own special purpose and use in different circumstances.

lflkajfj12123 · 06-11-2010, 05:26 PM

slightly funny maybe? Though honestly my post was not the least bit silly it was true.I even mentioned in my post that short texting was ok and there was a place for it.

Soap is just trolling for fight. Which is why I told him not to start.

Funny is how Soap completely missed that and tried to call me out on my post and say I was silly.

It usually winds up with him in the doghouse, if its not I, he will get into it with someone else, he has already proven that.. One would think he had figured it out by now. I guess not.
