£5 per month for silver does not seem bad but I fail to understand the lines
"Mobile access to Orb or Slingbox does not include using your mobile as a modem."
Slingbox and Orb are for personal use only and you mustn’t breach copyright or get around copyright protection.
Also seem to charge roaming prices for using skype overseas? charged as a voice call not a data call?????
Anyone analysed the details in full.
To watch home TV on your mobile you need to have a TV service that you can legally view.
Slingbox is sold separately and contains a Freeview receiver so you’ll need a TV licence if you haven’t already got one.
You’re responsible for your compliance with all of these terms.
Our fair use policy
We have fair use limits and hope you’ll use your common sense. These limits should be big enough for you to do all the things you want to do. But we’ll get in touch with you if we think you’re using our services unfairly, and especially if you’re abusing them. If we find people are using X-Series above these limits, we’ll review them. Here’s our take on fair use:
* Unlimited data is 1GB per month. Also, your data usage doesn’t include using your mobile as a modem.
* Windows Live Messenger won’t count towards your monthly data fair use limit but has its own limit of 10,000 messages per month.
* Skype on 3 is 5,000 minutes per month. If you go over this you’ll need to wait until the start of the next bill month for the service to resume, however Skype calls can still be received.
* Orb and Slingbox have a total combined limit of 80 hours a month.

Installed it on my xda mini s , after a while saw its trying to connect the gprs.. canceled it .
then it sent 2 text i dont know where lol, i only had it installed for less then 10 hours and it sent 4 texts from my phone using my own PAYG credit :shock:

My plan has unlimited data, so as long as it doesnt F'up the phone I will try it. Figure already got the NSA checking out my phone logs and calls, etc.. whats one more
At least if they are going to track me I get paid for them being nosy.
Not to mention since I have a HTC Universal in the U.S. maybe it will give some of the companies an idea to actually offer one here that uses EDGE. Being on the bleeding edge of technology it never hurt to help them get new ideas to improve what we got either.

I've got one of the 'Unlimited data' plans from ATT, but it is only unlimited by using default applications that came with the ATT rom.
Further, it does not cover unlimited for streaming video (unless using ATT's apps) nor streaming radio (unless using their subscription based XM radio)
I've a friend who recieved a $152,000 bill for streaming internet radio and and youtube video downloads.
I'm curious about finding a package, or cell carrier who can offer me FOR REAL unlimited internet. No restrictions, no surprise $152K phone bills.
Any ideas?
The whole purpose of me purchasing this phone was for a windows environment with internet access on the go. I picked Windows mobile so I could obtain general internet access for a wide variety of applications and solutions, video, gps position publishing, shoutcast radio stations. Those are liable to get me a huge phone bill from ATT, so I need to find other options.
it being an international forum you would prov benefit from stating your country
being that isp plans and the likes change from country to country
that you give prices in $ makes one believe that you are in american or aussi
but people who want to reply would benefit with knowing for sure...........
Good idea.
United States, I'm using ATT wireless currently.
The plan I have is advertised as "MEdia Max 200 Bundle" for $19.95 a month. They offer an UNLIMITED MEDIA max plan, for $39 a month, but that only changes the plan to include UNLIMITED TEXTING.
Here's the "features" of the MEDIA MAX 200 bundle.
UNLIMITED Cellular Video
Cellular Video brings you video clips of your favorite TV shows, music videos, movie trailers, comedians and sports highlights. Play high-quality news, sports, weather, and entertainment video clips on demand on your 3G phone. Plus, you can add exclusive video programming from HBO MobileSM and HBO Family MobileSM.
UNLIMITED MEdia Net
With MEdia Net, you can browse the mobile web, check your Email, get your sports scores, movie times, weather and news right on your mobile phone. Plus, you can access the latest ringtones, games, graphics and AT&T Mobile Music.

Problems with the plan
My plan PROHIBITS the following for ANY network plan.
* TELEMETRY APPLICATIONS
(I use my phone to publish my GPS location on a map for company uses.),
* AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS OR ANY OTHER MACHINE-TO-MACHINE APPLICATIONS The above mentioned GPS software I use is an automated machine to machine application, obviously.;
* WITH SERVER DEVICES OR WITH HOST COMPUTER APPLICATIONS(The server that collects my GPS location and maps it is obviously a SERVER DEVICE.)
* FOR VOICE OVER IPI need to use Skype in my job, hence why I purchased the phone, so I can use Skype mobile; (IV)
* UNLIMITED PLANS CANNOT BE USED FOR UPLOADING, DOWNLOADING OR STREAMING OF VIDEO CONTENT (E.G. MOVIES, TV), MUSIC OR GAMES.
(I can't use this device for work, and nor for pleasure it seems. Shoutcast and YouTube are STREAMING VIDEO OR AUDIO CONTENT.There goes shoutcast, or any streaming music or video if is not one of ATT's subscription based services.)
A coworker got the same plan as me for work uses. He has been nailed, and is in dispute with ATT with it. I want to avoid the trouble, vote with my money, unlock my phone and get a carrier that won't screw me.
Outside of ATT's in-phone subscription based services, and internet browser -- everything else has been made illegal per my 'UNLIMITED' plan, and is subject to charges $0.01 per kilobyte overage. The phone rocks, Windows mobile rocks, the carrier does not.
Problem is that the Tilt (I'm assuming you're using the Tilt -- from your threads on the AT&T forums) is supposed to use one of the PDA data plans -- NOT the MedaNet/MediaMAX plans. Those plans are for mobile phones -- NOT PDA's.
There's a BIG difference in how they both handle the data packets.

Sorry to be so ignorant. New to the cellular world. I only got a phone with the requirements of my workplace, though I love it now!
Indeed it is the Tilt.
Seems ATT Wireless won't let me get to my account page due to 'temporary problems', I'm unsure if a PDA plan is available to me -- but are you saying a PDA plan is available for the Tilt? Does it have restrictions like I mentioned previously about MediaNet?
The sales people did hook me up with MediaNET, probably due to price. If I can get hooked in to a PDA plan with no ironfist restrictions, it could really save me potential problems with ATT.
Most "unlimited Plans" in the uk have a fair usage policy
so unlimited Date = 3GB per month
unlimited sms = 3000
and same with Minutes 3000 per month
Go sprint and buy a Mogul. I there is no limit on your data period. I use it as a modem as well even though I am not supposed to. Its funny considering its the exact same connection either way. Sprint is still the cheapest and still has the best data plans.
Hi everyone, sorry if this in the wrong section, feel free to move it.
I have searched but not found anything suitable.
I'm looking for a Winmo app to record the number of texts and minutes (and poss mobile web usage) each month, that will then reset at my billing date each month.
I have the excellent Spb Wireless Monitor already for the mobile web, and have tried an app called LCMinutes, but its quite fiddly to set up and use.
Using the HD2.
Is there anything anyone can recommend?
Thanks
here it is;
LCMinutes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354103
Basically LCMinutes is an application that keeps track of phone calls, SMS, and data traffic, calculates their charge based on user defined rate plan, and thus keep user informed of the up-to-date balance information: like current charges, used free minutes, used free messages, used free data allowlance, expire date for prepaid plans, etc.
Have fun,
Senax
Moved as not software release.

No wonder they sent you a message, you were tethering to your PC using utorrent and other PC stuff. If you abuse the system, they're gonna end you.

You can't be reckless with tethering, use it in moderation.
Yea simple mobile doesn't allow tethering, it is in the TOA and on the website's QnA

I'm on Wind up in Canada. I get unlimited calling, unlimited long distance, unlimited texting worldwide, unlimited data, and tethering to my hearts content. All for $45 tax in. Now that's what unlimited should mean!

Agreed. I wouldn't mind paying an extra $15 bucks for that in the states. Right now I'm on the unlimited text and web (first 5gb is 4G speed) and 100 minutes plan for $30.
I dont have that problem because I don't tether. They made it nice and sparkling clear to not tether... I think its a fair bargain for the price I pay for service to be honest. Try talking with them about paying extra for tethering or go to a different carrier.

moderators, if there is a better place to put this, please move accordingly.
situation:
my employer will pickup $95 of my cellphone bill if i get a smartphone for work - so that i can check emails while traveling to job sites, meetings, etc. i travel about once every other week now. they will put me on the company account when i am traveling every week. so this might only be a 2 year stop-gap till they are paying for all of my phone and this isnt an issue at all. at that point, i can port my GV number to ATT and the company account.
i currently have a dumb or "feature phone" and cant justify spending the monthly data rate to get a smart phone for personal usage, but if my business pick-ups most of the tab, it is worth it. personally, i make less than 200 minutes of calls and 200 texts (mostly to my wife who is on the same plan, that is all negated as part of the "shared"
if i stay on my current family's plan and convert it to a family data share plan (ATT), that actually saves me about $15 a month on my phone bill
downside - i have an out of area phone number and my office wants me to have an in-area phone number for business
in short, what is the best, long term way to have 2 numbers call/receive on a cellphone, without having to pay extra, or minimal, for the convenience of being able to call from the different numbers. if the telecom carriers would just drop their stupid tax limitation for having different tax / area codes on the same account, i wouldn't have this issue. realistically - if everyone in the USA had free nation wide calling via cellphone, land-line, etc - we would all just have 10 digit numbers and this wouldn't be a problem b/c we wouldn't need all of these hacks and tweaks for porting numbers, move voice over sip/voip, use 3rd party programs that use txt over data rather than it just all being easy and cheap / rant over.
GV number
it appears i am receive / call from an in-area number - i already setup a number and tried a iphone and it works great.
not concerned that it uses minutes b/c family share plan has unlimited minutes (i keep searching for google voice alternatives and i either come up with VoIP / SIP options to avoid using minutes and use data OR business plans that use voice, but charge for minutes)
my concerns / reason for looking for other options / alternatives
1. every year google says that US calling is free for the next year. and their rates page shows the same.
since i will be using default GV iphone/android app that will use minutes rather than VoIP to make the calls, will that ever be a concern of mine (e.g. if google makes a call $0.01 a minute in the future, i don't want to have to find another option really quick b/c it does not suite my needs anymore)
2. GV closing - everyone was "up-in-arms" about reader closing this year. most of us have moved to other programs / clients that allow us to continue reading news
3. GV says that you shouldnt use it for business b/c they don't have enterprise support. the company i work for is far from an enterprise, but i still have some an uneasy feeling that if google doesn't like GV anymore and drop it, im scrambling to find something fast and dont want to do that. e.g. is this the best long term solution?
option 2: long time listener to leo laporte / twit and they are advertising ring central.
looked at their features and not only will it cost more than i am saving, but also, it has tons more features that what i need.
other options? someone on the GV forums called GV a "call management service" and i have searched for alternatives and most of the business oriented services seem to want to offer more features than i need and to change for it. most of the personal alternatives are an attempt to reduce voice minutes, but use data.
a lot of our contractor clients have project managers and job-site supers have completely random area codes and call from other named business's when they call us, so it might not even be an issue. trying to do all my research before i go back to my boss and give him some options and see if having an in-area number is required or just something that they would want.
thanks for the help and advise.
