I noticed that my last cellphone bill had extra data charges on it. I contacted Cingular via email to find out why and was told that it was an error. However, I did more research on the matter and found out that Cingular charges you per KB of data sent or received when you are connecting through your phone to the Internet. Now since my last phone was a Treo, I surfed the web on that. Since my new phone is a craptastic RAZR, I haven't bothered. For some reason, visiting Google News on my phone is somehow different when I visit it on my laptop or on my sexy new Nokia 770. To Cingular, it is still the same 1's and 0's, however, it will cost me more. So I told them I wanted to switch to their unlimited laptop data plan and that I was willing to pay more for it at a flat fee since that would be much less than charging me by the KB.
But sir, you do realize that in forgoing the unlimited Internet plan you have currently, you will no longer be able to surf the web on your phone without incurring any per KB charges?
But I'm paying for unlimited Internet, now with the more expensive plan. What the fuck do you care what device I use? Something tells me that no matter what, the telco's will never understand the Internet. A word of warning to fellow Nokia 770 users, watch your cellphone bill if you tether your 770 to your cellphone with that nifty bluetooth connection.
