I have a data plan on an iPhone with AT&T and I pay an additional $15 over the standard 450 minute plan for 200 MB of data. I understand that AT&T has raised this minimum to $20 for 300 MB.
That price won't break the bank for most people but 200-300 MB for a month of data isn't much. I'm generally on WiFi so I don't care but I suspect that many people would find this too small for comfort. If they don't care about surfing from the phone, I can see people just avoiding using any data at all so that they don't have to worry about additional fees.
- short_circut 14y agoThat is exactly the reason I rarely use my phone for browsing. The internet is just too expensive.
- re_todd 14y agoI'm with AT&T and went to the $15/month a couple years ago (don't know if the price went up, I'm on someone else's contract and I've never actually seen the bill). It's a pain to worry about bandwidth, and video is out of the question. Yes, WiFi bandwidth is free, but sometimes I forget to turn on WiFi, then almost have a heart attack when I see how much bandwidth I've consumed (thanks to the "3G Watchdog" app). It's just significantly less stressful to put the android phone down on my desk and just surf on my desktop or laptop on my Cable connection.
