[Vision2020] Fwd: AT&T 3G data network?

[Tom Hansen]

3G is 3G, whether you access it by iPhone, iPad, or a Dixie cup and string.

These past two months I have been averaging 6-8 gigabytes per month, and I am nowhere near the "top five percent of data users".  So, unless you are uploading and downloading the New York City and Los Angeles telephone directories twice daily, I really wouldn't be concerned.

Seeya later, Moscow.

Each iPad sub-account possesses the AT&T 2-gigabyte package.  This means there is no charge for the first two gigabytes of data usage.  There is, however, a $10 charge for each gigabyte that exceeds the 2-gigabyte limit.
