Re: Really ? said by bit_junkie:So let me get this straight. 1.Your paying for unreliable/limited 3G and phone service, and so you buy a device to help improve your signal that routes everything over your ISP's connection, which more than likely also has a cap. 2.Not only do you have to pay for the device, but theres also a monthly fee to use it, on top of paying for the original unreliable/limited service. So how is this a "value added service" for the customer ? The only value I see being added is to AT&T's bank statement. Everyone keeps getting this wrong. there is NO additional monthly fee to use it. You can optionally pay for unlimited minutes when connected to it, otherwise it just uses your minutes.
What this article is saying is that if you use data over the microcell's 3g, it will come from your cap if you have one of the new iphones. If you have a feature phone with no forced data plan, and dont opt for one, you will be charged the per kb rate. |

| Your correct, coffee hadn't kicked in yet and I did not read the service charges correctly. My original point about using the device I think still stands, you are paying for unreliable service, and then paying for a device which is supposed to help improve your service, that uses more than likely an ISP other than AT&T to route everything over, it still uses your minutes and counts towards your ISP's caps.
It's still not a value added service except for AT&T |
