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.
First of all, I do not represent the company.
I am, however, very pleased with the service they provide, and am a paying customer with a 60GB plan.
They now offer FREE storage for all that sign up to either a free or paid plan.
500MB extra storage for users signing up for a free account
10GB(!) extra storage if you sign up for a paid plan
The offer is based on referrals, so if you click my link, I will also get free storage. You win and I win.
If anyone has considered signing up for SugarSync, please consider helping me and get free space in return.

You missed out on SyncBlaze. Guess its similar to the ones you listed but targets small and medium businesses as it focuses more on business needs.
Box and dropbox r d best..
Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda premium
SugarSync and Dropbox are the best among all (Opinion based on my personal experience). Comodo looks great and i think i should give a try on it as well.With the storage services, it becomes so easier to move your data here and there and to make absolute backups of all your important data and files. I have reviewed all the vendors from a list of best cloud storage and after evaluating the rankings i stand for a better and fair review with regards to sugarsync review and rest of the storage providers.
