I was told that the WiFi plan was a scheme to trap customers into buying the data plan. Basically No data plan = no Wifi. Anyone can confirm this to me?
With the AT&T 8525 no data plan is required for wifi. However, if you attempt to access the internet but the wifi isn't available or drops out then the request is AUTOMATICALLY routed throuh AT&T data services for at a high $$ rate. My first encounter with this cost me $7 for a page or two of data. I've seen quite a few people asking about the wifi on the 8820 but so far no one seems to know how wifi will be handled.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
