Heads Up AT&T now recognizing The N9 as a smartphone.
AT&T changed my grandfathered unlimited data plan to a 3 GB plan. I Called to see what the deal was and he specifically said I had the N9. I guess I Got away with it long enough :/

Bummer.
If you're limited to 3 Gigs now, you might as well dump them for a monthly PIA plan from an MVNO like StraightTalk and save some money. They've got lousy customer support, but who doesn't OTOH, if your usage includes streaming audio, then maybe not. |

Good thats not how it works in Finland. :p
My monthly data usage is 20GB+ with N9 and hotspot. I pay 2e month for it. Got 5e discount trought. :) |

Can you guys please explain how or why is it like that in USA? Kind of like Mikkosssss, I have unlimited 3G connection only for 5e/month. |

These assumptions are not mine, and really are generalizations and I've probably left out a lot of stuff. Certainly any given customer could be the exception in either case, but I suppose on the whole it's accurate enough for business purposes. When AT&T first got the iPhone exclusive deal in the US, data usage from those customers really clogged up their tubes for quite a while. BTW, when you guys say 2e or 5e a month for data, you mean on top of what you pay for voice service, right? Not a total monthly cost? |

Dunno about US. I am in the UK on some ancient (15+ years, no longer offered) pre-paid plan with 5 free texts per day but outrageously expensive data (something like £1 for every 3 MB). It suits my usage pattern and I top up by £5 only once in 2 to 3 months but... I once blew my entire remaining credit (whole £15, what was left from a £20 voucher I got for Christmas) just by running apt-get update.
Regarding why the phone type matters... It is one of those "unlimited until you use it" things. I also heard that you pay for receiving calls in the US. Is that the case or is it a thing of the past? |

It Sucks bad but what can I do, think I'm going to switch to T-Mobile(unlimited data) and get a different phone. I Love my n9 but if I'm bing to have to sign up with a new contract might as well get a newer phone.
