 AT&T also added no carrying unused bytes to a new month

...this next part of the revised terms of service affects all DataConnect customers:

quote:
On the 5GB DataConnect Plan, once you exceed your 5GB allowance you will be automatically charged $0.00048 per Kb for any data used. On the 200MB Data Connect Plan, once you exceed your 200MB allowance, you will be automatically charged $10 for an additional 100MB. Unused data from either your initial allowance or any overage allowance (e.g., the 100MB) will not be carried over to the next billing period; all data allowances must be used in the billing period in which the allowance is provided.
Basically, AT&T Wireless wants to spell out that, unlike for voice-plan minutes, it won't carry your unused data to the next month.

No, with AT&T it's $503.32 per gigabyte.

$.00048 per KB * 1,024 = $.49152 per MB

$.49152 per MB * 1,024 = $503.31648 per GB

So with AT&T, you better be damn sure not to go over!

I bet they just say $.00048 per KB so it sounds better. Thing is, nowadays a KB is jack diddly squat.

Oh, thought it was $10 per 100MB. Never mind about that, ech.

It is, but only on the 200MB plan.

On the 200MB Data Connect Plan, once you exceed your 200MB allowance, you will be automatically charged $10 for an additional 100MB.
However, if you have the 5GB plan (and practically anybody halfway intelligent will), it's the prices listed above, which translates to $49.15 for the same 100MB.
