I've been with AT&T and the iPhone since the iPhone 3G launch (now have the 5) and still have been able to keep my $30 unlimited data plan. I don't consider myself lucky, because the amount of money I send to AT&T (Family Plan) every month still doesn't seem justified to me.
I go days without making a phone call - I use their data intermittently during the day, the data I use during the day are just those random spot checks of the phone that one makes during the course of the day. I have the internet in front of me call day at work. I'm forking over $30 a month on unlimted text, when the majority of my messaging is through iMessage. If you drop the $30 unlimited text, you're bound to go over $30 a month in texting, because the pricing on texting is so ridiculous that just a couple of text messages a day will put you over $30. When I'm at home, the phone hops onto the home wifi.
But what about those pour souls that are paying 10 to 15 dollars per GB? That is outrageous. It's gouging. It isn't 1995. It's time to start sending some letters to the FTC and FCC.
Internet should be a flat monthly price - 50 bucks - access it wherever and however you want - home, phone, tablet - doesn't matter.
