ATT/Cingular Phone Plans...which one do i need?

Question

We are looking to turn off our home phone which of course feeds our internet to our comp. Phone at home is about $35 & internet is about $30. What ATT/Cingular Phone do I need to purchase in able to be able to surf the web every now and then? I don't really know what rate plan I am supposed to be looking at? How about data plans? And what kinda stinkin phone do I need? One of those SMART phones? Please help. I'm not real cell phone knowledgeable.

Thanks

Answer 1

Well att has a 99 dollar unlimited phone call plan if its just you, but that costs 99 dollars for every extra line you add.  You could also get, if its more than just you, a family plan with 3000 minutes for $150 and that would be for 2 lines

Data plans cost around 50 dollars a month for smart phones, but you could get blackberry connect for 35 dollars a month which would allow u to email and go on the internet from the phone.  

Another option is the iphone which runs i believe 30 dollars more that  your voice plan for unlimited data.

You do need a smart phone. Tilt, Blackberry or iPhone. On the iPhone you can view full webpages.  Data plans are 30 and up. Minute plans are 30 and up.

My friend just got her iPhone and she is paying 80ish a month.

If you want to see full web pages you will have to get a smart phone, such as the HTC Tilt (ok for viewing full web pages) or iPhone (best for viewing full web pages).  The data plan for the internet is going to run you $30 a month for those phones.
