Re: [apple-iphone] Re: Considering changing cell plan

So, I'm trying to figure out how to reduce my big cell phone bill - and I can't change providers, because we are in a cell phone hole and the only one that has any signal is ATT, and it isn't much. I COULD boot some people off my plan but I don't really want to. And I'd like to keep the unlimited plan I have.

Any ideas?

I have the legacy att plan. And enjoy it

Yes. They tell me I am close to being throttled but it is close to the end of the billing cycle.

When I go international I use a skyroam device.

5 people can link to it. And the purchased days don't expire at the end of the month

Thx

Hello Patti,

I too have a legacy AT&T unlimited data plan. AT&T has frankly been pretty decent letting us old folks hang on.

I haven't ever noticed being throttled but I'm rarely in very urban dense areas. I use a lot of data as I'm often away from alternative access to Internet up and down the US Atlantic seaboard, Bermuda, Bahamas, throughout the Caribbean, and sometimes UK and EU.

You cannot use legacy AT&T data for a hotspot. On the other hand newer unlimited contracts include clauses that allow AT&T to change terms, including unlimited in its entirety. For me the assurance of truly unlimited data is a good trade for no hotspot. I only have two lines - my phone and a data stick for my laptop. For your scenario I think I'd switch contracts. I think.

If you travel around the US at all I would stick with AT&T or Verizon for best aggregate coverage. If you travel internationally there is no substitute for AT&T. Make sure your phone is unlocked for a local SIM.
