I have an AT&T Tilt phone that does everything but the slingbox client and I pay 30$ a month for unlimited data.

I found skyfire browser app for smartphones that lets me play flash based video over my phone so I have Hulu over 3G to make up for no slingplayer.

We, the great pre-paying unwashed, have a data plan, its actually a better deal than the iPhone’s too.

Dial 611 and say “features”, then say “100 megabytes”.

That’s it. It’s 19 bucks and unused data rolls over to the next month. Compare to iPhones $69.99 a month data plan that does not roll over and accrue.

Kermie, You must have only looked at one of my three screengrabs, otherwise you’d have seen I’m still AT&T “Premiere” – though I can’t say I’m feeling extra special given the way my contract has been bungled and no one has the power or interest to correct what seems to be a computer error. The T-Mobile SIM is Melissa’s, borrowed from her beloved Blackberry Curve 8900.

@Todd – Ghetto all the way. But I -rarely- need to make calls, and I have WiFi at home and work. Plus my hatred of AT&T.

Ironically, I did the same for my wife’s 1st gen iPhone, and between the two of us, we burn through about the same cash as a full-blown AT&T iPhone plan. While I’d love to get my 3G data back for when I’m away from WiFi, locking in to the devil for 2 more years turns my stomach…..

from the looks of your screenshots, it looks like you already have defected to T-Mobile. Have fun with your new 3G (S) running on thier EDGE network. Or maybe there is a jailbreak app that will enable 1700 Mhz UMTS.

I did that to my 3G (before 3.0 came out). While the various apps were cool and all that, the biggest thing for me was putting my GoPhone SIM in and using that plan. Also, I found a nifty app that will disable Edge as well, so you don’t have to deal with the annoying popups about not finding a data network. (I’m around WiFi about 98% of my day, so who cares..)

Downside to GoPhone – CONSTANT FREAKING SMS NAGS FOR EVERY MESSAGE YOU SEND/RECEIVE. No. My Caps Lock was not stuck.
