I really don't want to get hammered in overages with a limited plan. Anyone have any idea if i would go over the limit and what the repercussions would be?
I've heard different answers to this:
1) AT&T would charge $10 per each additional GB increment.
2) You ask AT&T for another $25 (or $15) plan that starts over at the time of the request.
In either case, my ~6.3GB would cost me at least $65 - 80 using the best, currently-available plan.
YOU would have access to a meter, though, which would tell you how much data you'd consumed. So you needn't be taken completely off-guard.
Funny you mention that actually..On the Droid, that type of usage would make sense.
As your right, I feel bad for captivate users. There are so many things with android that either just run in the background sucking up data or things that just like to start on their own and consume data. I could see android as being far more of a data hog even with someone that doesn't use much data just because of the background processes and such... IP4 has the advantage as the user IMO has much more control over what data is being consumed and when....08-30-2010 10:53 PM
