How Much data does GR3 Pull Down - Mobile Broadband Question

[Timothy M Carroll]

I am about to sign up for the ATT GoPhone Mobile broadband option ( tethering a moto slvr, spoke with ATT they said its 100% do-able and they suggest doing it that way )

however, the $20 a month plan is for 100MB, or so it says, with $0.01 per kb over that 100MB. . .

My question is, How much does Gibson Ridge pull down per sweep, and is 100MB reasonable? Or will I need to throw down . . say 3 months worth up front to avoid overages.


Thanks

It is now my understanding that if you choose the option - GoPhone Unlimited Media Net for $19.99 a month, if you tether the phone, it enables full web browsing and internet connection capabilities.

Prepaid data is a very bad choice at this time and 100 mb is not enough data . Why not go postpaid and get unlimited data for $20 a month with no contract ?

This is supposed to be the Post - Paid data plan.

Do you have any other suggestions.

Thanks

It might work out well if you use it for only one day, but i would imagine that you would eat through 100MB pretty quickly if your going to be using your internet heavily. I think L3 has a really lite footprint and shouldent tax you too hard, but you have to consider. If your doing anything on the internet your going to be sucking your bandwidth down. I chose a post-paid unlimited deal because i just didnt like the idea of having a "ceiling".

If the ATT gophone card works it seems like something worth doing. I like the idea and convienience of paying for a $20 card when a storm day shows up. That way i dont have to pay $61 bucks every month for something that i dont even need to use unless theres a storm. Considering some months are more active then others, it might save or cost you some money in the long run. Who knows.
