iphone data plan worries

Yeah the ala carte data plan is scary. I was considering switching until I saw that. One thing I was considered is the wireless hotspot devices with there data plan. Then you would have wifi available instead of using the 3G data.

Sprint. All you can eat everything for about $60/month... that can't be beat. I have the palm pre and it's my favorite phone ever... they did just release the Evo though and, damn... that 4g makes a difference.

I have a friend who just got two of them and he says they are already close to their limits as AT&T downloads stuff at night and doesn't use the wireless access point to do it.

Both my wife and I are iPhone 4 owners. When we had the 3GS previously (this was before we did any tethering) we were well under 2GB's even though we had the unlimited plans. My wife doesn't use data too much but I am a HEAVY user. I stream music constantly as well as check social sites, CA, news sites etc etc many times throughout the day. I use the email feature to keep up with and send out emails from 3 different accounts.

I think you'd probably be fine, but that's just my opinion. Personally, I couldn't imagine not having the unlimited especially now that we tether my wife's iPad.

Dustin is your phone jailbroken or are you allowed to tether an iphone to an ipad?

Jailbroken! It steams me pretty bad that Apple won't allow you to tether an iPad to an iPhone, just because they want to sell more 3G iPads.
