Looking for a data plan and a phone for world travelling. Phone planned to tether with N8x0.

Got a refurb nokia 6085 as a gophone from atnt for $30. It tethered with N8x0 seamlessly. Very happy about the buy for its seamless tethering.

Using it as a phone, it is alright, $0.25 per minute use, not talk time, the clock starts clicking when atnt dials the number! Even if you hit off right away, they charge $0.25 already, even before the phone connects, so, there is no talk time!

However, use a gophone for surfing is a complete joke. It costed over $4 just to load a web page, in this case I tried maemo.org, and while you reading it, you are paying the minute use, $0.25 per minute. You must be kidding! Only one person on earth can affort it, Mr. Bill Gates.

I figure out I am NOT Bill Gates, so atnt data plan is OUT. And since I cannot unlock the gophone, at least for 3 month, the gophone is useless.

Just to let everybody know, if you are thinking about getting a gophone to tether to your tablet for surfing from atnt, forget it

AT&T just did away with the unlimited data option for prepaid users as of the 12th of Nov. I've got a prepaid sim that I bought unlimited media net on that will have it until the end of January because you can buy 3 months worth of the package. I'm still looking to part with it if interested. I've used it for the same purpose you have but no longer need it.
