Yeah...my friend just got a $400 phone bill from AT&T for his aircard due to overages. All the guy does is listen to Youtube videos at work on it. Guy doesn't know what a torrent site is.
I've almost got him convinced to switch to Sprint. Don't think it'll be a problem if they're going to have the iPhone5...he won't give up his iphone.

I have personally never met anyone who uses over 1GB, and all my friends and family have Droid phones. The most I've ever used (as a very active user) was 886 MB.

I just downloaded the new Jane's Addiction video off of VEVO/Youtube. 194 megs. Normally, I wouldn't have even known it was that big just looking at Youtube.
I can easily see how if you use your phone for listening to Youtube for music you could blow your cap in a month.
Now...that's obviously not the smartest way to listen to music, but I figure my buddy who got the big AT&T bill is the typical uninformed Internet user. He had no idea how big all those videos he was listening to were (Youtube doesn't really make it apparent, either).
200MB is pretty much only going to cover basic usage of a smartphone...that does not include anything but very VERY basic web browsing and emails. Not sure I'd even do any kind of GPS with that kind of plan.

When I used to use my mobile as a modem for my laptop, I used to use between 3-5 GB a month. Now, I don't use my mobile as a modem for my laptop much anymore, and still manage to hit about 1-2 GB a month.

If is unnecessary, why get rid of it and piss everyone off? I think getting rid of unlimited was ignorant.

Unfortunately Sprint 4G isn't available in as many cities as some of the other carriers. If you're grandfathered in unlimited, as I am, then good to go and no I'm not with AT&T.

I'd rather have slower Sprint service than an accidental $400 monthly phone bill.
