rj, i'm not gonna say anything about this anymore, i'm tired of this kind of crap...Voicestream doesn't pay me if I'll speak of how good they are, neither does Cingular pay you when you say good things about them. so i'll just keep my my mouth shut from now on

@rj: Are you getting some sort of special unadvertized deal to get the same rate of $2.99 per meg at Cingular? I stand corrected. Due to the confusing cingular web site, their GPRS is not $60/ megabyte. On
Cingular, it's $6.99 for 1MB then $30 per megabye for overage. This is still way more than
VoiceStream's $2.99 per meg and $10 per mb overage.
Plus, Cingular charges $4 per month to use circuit switched internet. VoiceStream does not charge for the service.

cinguLar offered FREE wireless internet b4. i THINK they are still offering this but it's just not advertised. it's like a bonus whenever somebody gets a plan and use a wap enabled phone.
it says $6.99, yeah, you're correct. but $4.99 is the wireless internet and GPRS is $2.00. that $6.99 also includes 100 free sms.
once again, the internet was offered free [till this date i think but not advertised] so it's $6.99 - $4.99. that makes GPRs $2.00
aLso, when u have GPrs, you're phone automatically has a dial-up internet access that uses your airtime.
i got no problem with Dial - up since i got their old pLan before . 1000+ anytime minutes/ unlimited nights 8PM - 7AM/ weekends / mobile to mobile / unlimited sms / etc.
***i'm one of the less than 4 people under cingular that HAS UNLIMITED SMS with GPRS. normally, this is not allowed. u have to get the package and cut down your sms allowed per month.
peace

Not really! If a small coke is $1.00 and a large (which is 3 times the volume) is $1.50, could you say that you bought the equivalent of 2 small cokes for fifty cents? 1 megabyte of GPRS on cingular is $6.99, not $2.00 because you can't purchase it individually.
I'd like to see the faces of the people in the store when I said "I'd like to buy the extra volume of coke that comes in a large. I'll only pay you the difference in cost between the large and small." They would laugh at you.
VoiceStream has cheaper data plans.
VoiceStream: $2.99 for 1MB GPRS, CSD, 300 SMS. Overage is $10/mb
Cingular: $6.99 for 1MB GPRS, CSD, 100 SMS. Overage is $30/mb
Even though Voicestream charges for incoming SMS, you figure that you receive roughly the same amount of SMS that you send. The SMS plans are equivalent if you receive TWICE as many as you send. Cingular is cheaper if you BOTH receive more than twice as many as you send AND go over your alloted number of SMS'es on the plan since you're not refunded for unused messages.

@gomichaelgo
i think u dont UNDERSTAND AT ALL!
i think u haven't seen a CINGULAR DETAILED BILL YET. IF YOU DO, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE WAP IS DIVIDED INTO 2 PARTS: WIRELESS INTERNET - dial up & WIRELESS INTERNET EXPRESS - gprs
U WOULD ALSO SEE THERE THAT GPRS COST $2.00 / MEGABYTE and REGULAR WAP IS THE ONE THAT COST $4.00+
SINCE i'M NOT GETTING CHARGED OF THE PACKAGE, AINT IT RIGHT THAT IM TELLING YA'LL THAT iT'S iNDEED $2.00? AND YEAH, MAH FRIEND JUST ADDED IT RIGHT NOW, FREE WIRELESS INTERNET, and $2.00 FOR GPRS. ONCE AGAIN, WIRELESS INTERNET's FEE is WAIVED.
i HOPE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND NOW.
THANKS ALOT,
RJ

@rj Well then you're getting a special un-advertized price. The adveritized plan is $6.99. Also: Check your math. $6.99 minus $4.00 is three dollars, not two.

------------------------
4.00+ = i think this means MORE THAN 4 DOLLARS.
AND I ALSO MENTIONED $6.99 - $4.99
I DONT THINK I SHOULD CHECK MY MATH, YOU'RE JUST BLIND I GUESS.
ALSO, IF U THINK I PUT $4.00, IT's GONNA BE $2.99 AND NOT $3.00
the MESSAGE YOU ARE REFERRING TO IS UN-EDITED. I GUESS IT's YOUR MISTAKE OF NOT UNDERSTANDING.
LASER SURGERY for VISION is NOT THAT EXPENSIVE in LOS ANGELES.

Nuh-uh. CSD wap = $4.00. GPRS (including CSD wap) = $6.99. The difference is $2.99 (roughly $3).
I edit to provide accurate information or correct mistakes. Never to mask what I had earlier said.

OK. U STILL SEEM TO NOT UNDERSTAND. DONT WORRY, ILL TRY TO COPY/PASTE thAT PORTION OF MY ONLINE BILL OK? IT's JUST DOWN AT THE MOMENT.
THIS IS HOW IT BREAKS DOWN
2.99 = SMS
2.00 = WIreless internet
2.00 = GPRS.
OH WELL. IT's HARD TO EXPLAIN. U SHOULDNT CARE. YOURE ON VOICESTREAM.
and yeah, THERE's ALOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING NOW. seems like they OVER ADVERTISED vSTREAM in CA.
THERE's a 14.99 / 3 MEG from CINGULAR, maybe U WANT IT.
they overcharge people for overusage to make money. u know that right? supply - demand ek ek.
