I am thinking about changing cell phone plans. I have AT&T right now, but I would like to go to an unlimited (or nearly so) plan that includes Web access. I primarily want to check my 2 emails, one of which is for work but cannot be accessed through a regular phone email client; Web access is the only option. I also want occasional Web usage, although it might turn into heavier use.
AT&T is quite expensive for their data plans; it’s going to be $30 for it using most phones I would consider, so the total plan would be over $100/month.
By contrast Virgin Mobile has a $49.99 unlimited plan for voice with an additional charge for data ($5 for 20 MB/month and $10 for 50). And Boost Mobile offers a plan with everything for $50.
I talked with a Radio Shack salesman who seemed knowledgeable; he was not too hot on Boost’s Web speed; intimating I wouldn’t like the service. But he’s a salesman (he tried to swing me over to Sprint). I want an unbiased opinion.
So, anyone here use either unlimited service, or at least one of the pay-as-you-go versions of wither carrier? What do you think?
