Does anyone know how t-mobile data (speeds, content, structure) compares to AT&T Wireless?
Does anyone know how t-mobile data (speeds, content, structure) compares to AT&T Wireless? There 19.99 unlimited Internet plan looks great. AT&T charges like $79.99 for an unlimited data plan. From what I've heard and those price difference it sure seems like tmobile data is inferior.
T mobile has t-zones and t mobile internet and AT&T has mmode and AT&T wireless internet. Mmode is really the same as the internet just bundled in smaller packages. What about t-zones vs. t mobile internet.
What I want to do is link a bluetooth t-mobile phone up to my bluetooth palm pda and be able to access html sites. I can do this with my current AT&T wireless bluetooth phone and html sites. I am doing this with mMode but could also do it with ...

With T-Mobile, it's easy and cheap - $20 unlimited - or even free if you can get the right plan. No restrictions.
AT&T has EDGE, though, which is 3x faster than T-Mobile's GPRS. (You need a good EDGE phone, though.) If you're just doing email or WAP, it won't make a big difference. But for full HTML pages on a PDA like you said, EDGE could be a decent boost in speed. But of course the downside is cost - with AT&T's current plans, it's pretty expensive.
As for coverage, expect AT&T Wireless to continue improving noticeably over the next 1-2 years. They are still actively filling in and optimizing their GSM/GPRS network nationwide. In two years, it should exceed the coverage and quality of their TDMA and analog networks (which is general...

I believe T-mobile won't allow you to use their $20 unlimited plan for tethering to laptops or pdas. I would only be for accessing the internet through ONLY your cell phone.

Nope. It's for unlimited data period. You can use a cable or Bluetooth with laptops, PDAs, whatever. It doesn't matter what device or what you do with it. 😁
And actually, I was wrong. They dropped the price - it's only $10 now - unlimited.
If you just want Internet on your phone (WAP / T-Zones), they have a separate plan for that - it's $5/month unlimited.
Their standalone plan for laptop data cards is $30 unlimited.

Yes, Sprint does frown on tethering. And on their only Bluetooth phone, they only allow a 3MB plan. You can't get unlimited for a Bluetooth/latop setup even if you're willing to pay the $80 unlimited rate. 🙄 Same with tethering - they don't support it, even if you're willing to pay big bucks for it.
...
Wow I thought T-Mobile would do that too, I guess they're willing to risk abuse of that. 🙂 AT&T is dropping some of their PDA plans to 49.99 unlimited I belive, so you might like them especially once they come out with EDGE PDA's and stuff. ;)
...
Hmm - now I'm confused. 😕 I just had a T-Mobile customer service rep tell me they don't offer anything for Bluetooth or tethering setups - it's all prohibited like Sprint. I know that's not true - they do allow it, intentionally or not. But their policy is unclear. I know the T-Mobile spokesman has said their policy is that you can do whatever you want with it, but if that's true then their customer service isn't in the loop. 😕

not knowing what t-mobile does, i do know that with att unlimited internet plans, there will be a discount on voice service on plans 29.99??(i think) and above..pretty much..with mmode, there are certain sites approved by att, with mobile internet, you can access any site (whatever you may want it for..) check in the near future for details..maybe feb 15th?
