That hotspot feature and unlimited plan was our deciding factor. Meh, it’s not worth switching anymore that i’ll have to spend $20 more per month. Verizon can go **** themselves then, i personally don’t have too much problems at all with AT&T connectivity anyways. Too bad.

next they come up with is that you cant browse certain internet content without paying extra

the whole point the latest phone being a high tech device is that you can do all kinds of stuff with it…. not that some big company “artificially cripples your options” to get more money out of you
the service is “making the connection between the internet and your phone” thats the only service they can offer if you redirect the information on your device than that is your capability or your phones Verizon has nothing to do with that.
Do they think that we are retarded or what ?

I did it and I couldnt be happier. This is my way of sticking it to ATT!!!

Last month, when I moved to a new apartment and had no cable for about 4 weeks… I used my iPhone MyWi app so my netbook could get online. I downloaded movies from netflix.

I checked my data usage on my ATT app… And I smiled whne i saw 168 GB of data for one month!!!!! And since i was grandfathered into unlimited data plan… Gues what…?

I didnt pay a DIME over my $30!

So if you want to STICK it to ATT… Jailbreak your iphone!!!

Now if iPhone 4 was on LTE – that’s a different story.
