So i am with verizon, mainly b/c my family has it so its free IN Voice/text, but I wish I had a data plan so i could get onto the internet anywhere, but $44/month? you kidding me? I was curious what all of you have or use, if anything and how much it runs you

I have an unlimited data plan for $0/month, but thats cause I have an employee plan. For regular customers its still only $15/month. I have a friend who had a 6700 on VZW and actually switched to one on Sprint for that very reason..

I dont have the data plan... I just use the wifi whenever available... Just treat it like a laptop

I had the $15/mo vision plan. Called in one day with a problem and the rep was really nice and lowered it to $10/mo. Sprint definitely has the best prices on data rates.

I have the plan. I do agree that it is expensive but it comes in very handy while traveling. I use it to tether my laptop.

consider yourselves lucky!

Im a telus user in Canada and our data plans are INSANE! try $25 for 5meg per month!!!!!! Each additional meg - upwards of $8.

Yes - we dont even have unliminted on any of our carriers. best plan we have is something link $350 for 500megs (I think).

So really, $44 is a steal for me if I was offered that here at home.

Guess that is price you pay, we really only have 3 major players for providers here. (Telus, Bell and Rogers - pick you poison).

Lucky for me - the 6700 has wifi - they carriers even try and force teh plan on us by saying we cannot have the devices without the plans! I was actually one of the few that was allowed to get it without the rapist data plans.

$0 a month for unlimited data.

Google "SERO", then Google "@sprint.com". New activations only!

I have the data plan with Verizon. There was no way I was going to pay $44/month for unlimited data and didn't for 6 months. However, I jumped on the PDATP plan that was leaked about 6 months ago and got the unlimited data for $20/month. Had the plan now for ~6 months and haven't been flagged yet.

I am still jealous of the Sprint prices though. That's the prices these data plans should be.

Whats this PDATP plan you speak of? Something special you managed to get, or just something not many people know of?

I only knew of Verizon offering a $45/month unlimited plan, and a pay-as-you-download per KB charge (which just rapes you).

Does Verizon still offer the PDATP? I had the SMS2000 for a while but got rid of data altogether. Then when i went back to data they said they didn't have any specials like that anymore?
