I have someone that wants to purchase my iPhone 3GS so I could put the money towards my new phone. If I do sell my phone during the time I wont have an iPhone period, will I be able to keep my data plan an a different phone? Even it's not a smart phone? And when I do get the iPhone 4 what must I do to transfer my plan to that phone?
You can put your 3G S sim card in another ATT phone and it will automatically become your present number. Therefore, you can sell your present phone anytime you want. Just don't include the sim card with it. When you get your new phone (if you haven't done anything about requesting one of the new data plans), you should automatically get the same unlimited plan.
The unlimited data plan is nice, but unless ATT changes their minds and allows tethering with the unlimited plan, I think it's of questionable value UNLESS you spend a LOT of time streaming video (read mlb.com or youtube) on a daily basis or streaming music (read pandora.com or sirius).
For the present, I'm keeping my unlimited plan, but over the last 6 months, I'm only averaging about 1.5GB monthly. And that's mostly because I steam the Sirius App about 45-60 minutes daily while I'm walking. I would lean toward going with the 2GB plan IF ATT would kick up the monthly limit to say 5GB for tethering. I don't see myself doing a lot of tethering, but the 2GB would not cut the mustard for me unless I were to give up my Sirius App.
