> $25 is a little more than I'd like to put forward each month.
I think you've got the wrong plan. Unless they raised the price on the unlimited data plan recently.
The "Laptop Connect" and "Data Connect" plans are ripoffs. Any decent phone can double as a modem via mmode under the Media Net plans for $10.00 ( 1MB ), $15.00 ( 5MB ) and $20 (unlimited).
> I was trying to connect my cell phone through my dads PC, SO THAT I wouldn't have to pay the high data fees...
Yeah. That would be cool. I tried setting that up with my Nokia awhile ago. It got so far as to connect to my computer through the proxy I set up, but couldn't get out on the 'net.
I'm left wondering from your original message: Why didn't you confirm that they were crediting you for your data usage when you were on the line with them? And did they tell you that when you change to a new data plan, they give you unlimited usage for a month to get you addicted?
