(I'm not saying AT&T is universally better then Verizon, nor is its the other way around, but I hate this "One network sucks for all" crap people post here so much)

So... let's say that I buy one of these pre-paid things for $15... Can I just hold onto it, for say, like 100 days, until I need it... without paying any subscription rates, etc?

I'm a web developer and last year, when the North East was hit by that newsworthy ice storm, 50% of Massachusetts was without electricity for a week... I had to post updates, etc., to our institution's website about being closed but couldn't get to campus for a couple of days (downed limbs, snow, etc). With this, could I buy this thing once and then keep it until I NEED to connect and then use it that time? Or do I need to pay an ongoing subscription rate along with it?]]>Nov 23rd 2009 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 23rd 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 23rd 2009 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 23rd 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 23rd 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 23rd 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 23rd 2009 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 23rd 2009 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/

Maybe you want to risk that... but I certainly dont.

I dont agree with the companies plans or terms.. I think if you have data service on your phone at all. it should come in all flavors: mobile, tether, unlimited, and it should all be a single data charge.

But its pretty stupid to just call everyone a moron who doesn't want to violate their TOS.

But I guess everyone is not as smart as you are.. you must be the CEO of some awesome company making 500,000$ a year as your company contributes amazing solutions to our society...]]>Nov 23rd 2009 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 23rd 2009 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 24th 2009 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/Nov 23rd 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/atandts-new-dataconnect-pass-plans-serve-up-data-a-la-carte/

That looks like a good deal for you, though if that doesn't work there's always the plan from Verizon/AT&T.

VM uses Sprint's data network and I've not had any problems with it or my Sprint phone.

Yes, getting a contract and paying ~$50/mo for 5 GB is the more economical cost per MB, however you're stuck for two years whether you use it or not. ]]>Nov 24th 2009 10:43AM
