Re: $60/mo 2 yr contract for all AT&T laptop data plans said by ninjatutle:I have a netbook + ATT data plan. I wish they offered this a month ago. Currently using a USB 3G stick. Integrated would nice. A netbook for $99 would even be nicer. I paid $99 for my 3G card. $260 for my netbook after rebates. So people are getting a modem + netbook for $99 is a steal. Suuure, along with the $1500 cost, right? :rolleyes:
Why am I not surprised that none of you guys realize that you can add your own SIM reader and then if you get a second line added to your plan w/ $20 unlimited smartphone service you got the same service.

| Its my choice if I want to shell out $1500 or so a year. I have been doing this for the past 2 years at Sprint.
Sure I could tether and hope they don't find out  I could also dump my auto insurance premium while I am at it. Just hope I don't get into any accident. |

Feel free to ask if you don't get something - your comment makes little or zero sense FYI.

| So your tethering for $20 is legit? |

and btw, YOU are the one not seeing the deal. if someone were to buy a laptop from anywhere and go on their own to get the data plan, they are STILL paying the $1500 assuming they use the data plan for 2 years PLUS buying their own data device if it not already integrated in the laptop. (this price goes for either of the "big 2" - VZ or ATT) getting an extra couple hundred bucks off your "device" (i.e. laptop) is therefore a deal. |

Exactly.
For some... a $99 laptop + $60/month for Internet isn't a bad deal.
How much do you pay for Internet over DSL or Cable ?
Since this is mobile, you pay a little more, but to be given a laptop (sure ... its no Toshiba) for $99, its not a horrible deal.
I'd just have to ensure that I 'could' take that SIM out and into another device (say my phone) and connect it to a 'real' laptop or PC if needed. |
