I have been using x10i global unlocked unbranded for months and the radio signal was always pretty slow. My data plan was set up for a legacy flip phone. The "unlimited data" for $9.95/mon is what I was using from ATT. I got a used x10a locked and branded to ATT from ebay. The first day out after moving my ATT sim chip into it, the ATT network computer automatically switched my data plan (without my permission) but holy gigabyte batman what a difference in speed! It's almost as good as the wifi connection I have at home!
I talked to ATT and a helpful minion there explained it all to me. He argued with me about my plan, as I insisted that it DID work with the x10i. He insisted that my old data plan was impossible to work with the x10a. We went around and around on that, ended up he was very interested in flashtool for his own device LOL.
I was concerned about them changing my plan and how much extra it's going to cost me every month. I understood he was able to switch me back to my old plan, IF I were to put my sim back into a legacy device is the only way? Such shenanigans!
That old ATT sim chip was from my first Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson. The phone still works and it's got great speakers, but that old W600i didn't have an expandable memory slot. Still I love that old thing. Anyway that chip gets slid into whatever device I want, and when I put it in the ebay phone is when my data plan that I've had for years gets shot down in flames. Oh and ATT will NOT unlock that new ebay phone until August (he checked the IMEI) what's that all about ATT? (beg pardon for the rant)
I thought I was getting data throttled by ATT and I was right.
I told that kid he works for a really greedy big corporate monster apathetic about it's service. How back in the day someone would answer the 611 number even on Christmas Day or the middle of the night, and after I was finally forced into Cingular how it went downhill from there. Now Cingular is gone and it's ATT again, but it's not the good ol' ATT of yesteryear, that's for sure! I'm banned from their forums!
So I considered what I was up against and really like the faster radio signal.... but I'm thinkin' geez they robbed me without using any guns! So now I have to pay by the gigabyte. Basically it costs about ten USD each month for every gigabyte you use. Pretty darn expensive if you ask me, but I digress.
What is H? With the new plan it finally shows "3G" up by the radio icon, but sometimes instead of showing 3G it shows H. What is that? (I had an E up there with the old unlimited plan)
