AT&T Wireless will have Unlimited Data soon! I called AT&T this morning to increase my data amount on my wireless plan. I bumped it up to the max (8 MB) so we could do choose our hotels as we go (using GRPS and our PowerBook). The lady put me on hold for a minute to two, and then came back with "actually, there is the Unlimited Data plan you were looking for - it's $24.99." I said - "hook me up!" But when she tried to select it, it said "not active." So it's in AT&T's system, just not activated. Cool!

Another tip she gave me when road-tripping was when you receive "No Network" - turn the phone off and back on so it can re-initialize with the nearest tower. BTW - how is AT&T's GSM coverage in California? Posted in General at Aug 20 2003, 10:13:43 PM MDT 1 Comment

spotty coverage in the mountains, I have no reception up in the santa cruz mountains and poor coverage heading up to tahoe until I drop down to the basin. If someone can correct me, I believe santa cruz is on an older network(i overheard a co-worker complaining he could not buy the latest phone). Though i'm still behind the times with grps and bluetooth(even though my T40 has bluetooth).
