Please log in for more thread options Come on now. I've got an unlimited data plan with Cingular and it's $20 a
month on top of the cell bill. I've got three phones on the account, two
with unlimited data and it's only $120/mo. Certainly you can pay more, but
don't count an exorbitant voice plan as the excuse. My T-Mobile with
unlimited Data and Wifi (T-Mobile Hotspot) is only $60/month.
Sure Cingular wants to sell you the data plan along with the phone that can
use it, but do you imagine they think that disabling Pass-Through is going
to force folks to do that? The point of a data enabled phone is to get the
data at places other than sitting at your desk in front of your PC. I would
think seeing what you can do while tethered to your desk and AS, would
increase peoples desire to get that data plan so they could surf and stuff
while out and about.
And it's MSFT fault, if in fact Cingular decided to have Samsung disable
Pass-Through? Which I still find hard to believe BTW.
