I hate my data plan!

cupcake - a limited plan is good. we will talk less. less gossip, less problems, less tension. lesser number of times u will talk while travelling etc.

I know AT&T is pretty good in the boonies, so I know that you get pretty good signal there. Glad you said you live in the boonies because I was going to suggest Cricket if you had that, of course I don't think cricket has an iphone. What about boost? You could try finding a cheaper company with unlimited dataplans. I go to the "boonies" atleast once a month and cricket sucks there! though stragiht talk works great they don't have an iphone. Sorry now Im getting off topic.

I'm glad I don't have smart phone anymore. I used to have blackberry through t-mobile because of my job. I was happy with their service. Now because of the change in my position within my work, I changed my phone to very simple flip phone. I do have data plan on it but it's only $10/month for unlimited. Oh, and now I have AT&T as well. I only do real basic stuff on internet on my phone so I don't really mind. Anything major, I do at home or on my laptop.

Oh wow, I know how you feel. I have switch companies twice already. I have been with T-Mobile and Sprint both with contracts, I am now with Virgin Mobile a prepaid company I have the Samsung Intercept which is and Android phone and the plan I have is unlimited everything (minutes, data, and web) all for $55 a month. I, too, got tired of the contracts because I fee that its a way to trap someone for 2 years. I do not use my phone just for the internet, if I am away fom my computer and need to look something up then it coes in handy. Hope you find something soon.

I am really lucky. We have been with our cable provider for years, and they also offer mobile deals. We get 800mins, 3000 texts, 1GB internet and a free samsung galaxy mobile for £10 a month, which is a steal! The package should be £30 a month, but we asked them to do us a better deal so they did. We have 2 of those deals in our house. I dont know how it works there, but you could always try calling the cancellations dept and asking them if they can do you a better deal or else you'll leave. What works here is finding a good deal elsewhere, then approaching your provider and asking them to better it.

I started using my cell phone as a mobile hotspot recently. It can be annoying because wireless isn't always as fast as I would like it to be. I have 5GB of data I'm allowed to use that's considered "high speed". If I go over that limit, then my high speed "slows down", but I've gone over and hadn't noticed that much of a change. My laptop performs better with it connected wirelessly then it does if it were connected via eaithernet or some kind of cable. So it's not all that bad really. I can do what I need to with it and that's all that matters. And, rarely is it possible for things to go to the point I'm over my data limit because what I do online doesn't take up that much data.
