I am making the switch now. My remaining question, which no Cingular agent could answer, is if I sign up for the MediaNet Unlimited data package - does this include teathering to my laptop or are there extra charges for doing this?
I have asked same question from verion sales rep , since they have wireless broadband network. They said no, according to the contract cheap plan is only for phone with WAP access with little network activity. They have different plan for laptop access and they charge more ($80) . My guess is you may will be able internet using phone as modem. If they notice heavy traffic for a vcast they may suspend your account, atleast thats what Verizon does it. I am assuming cingular would do th same however i have not glanced mediaworks terms. If they catch you using Vcast ($15 plan) for wireless broadband access($80 plan) .
