Re: A typical nonsensical, greedy BS deal - this must be AT&T... said by jc100:This isn't a bad deal if someone already uses their service, and likes it. I mean if you're already a customer and don't mind signing a contract, I don't see an issue. You just get a perk for doing so. Personally, I hate contracts and dislike ATT, but that's not to say all do. It makes no sense for absolutely anyone except some AT&T shill - you can get full smartphone service added to a secondary line for a total of $25/mo if you already have a service.

| Great so how about comparing an Orange to an Orange instead of an Apple and Orange.
This promotion appears to go along side the Air Cards not data added to a second smart phone device. If you were in the market for just an Air Card and not other phone service it would be an OK deal.
I prefer a stand alone Air Card instead of teathering because you are not tied to a single device. |

No, it still wouldn't be an OK deal because it would only make sense if, beyond wanting the air card you would also A) want an Acer Aspire One B) you would want to use specifically AT&T WITHOUT any regular account for $60/mo (how does that make sense?) and C) you want a 2-yr long contract, all this for ~$1600-1700 with tax.
In this case you're right, it's a "great" deal.

You don't get it: it's a SIM card, not a device.
As a matter of fact this gives you more freedom than any air card: you can shove it to any SIM-based device as well as into usb adapters etc.
