So, basically I need to find a competent rep at the store?

IMEI probably isnt correct on the account.

an E71 is not an E71x... the system won't recognize the E71 as a PDA, so it does not require you to add a PDA plan.

It makes sense that the system won't recognize the E71 so the PDA plan won't apply.

Thanks!

Hey, also I recommend that you download JoikuSpot to your E71, if it has WiFi, JoikuSpot will enable you to use your S60 powered phone as a WiFi hotspot for your laptop. I've been using it for 2wks now.

I have an unlocked/unbranded N95 I have the $10 internet on my acct. N95 pretty much runs the same OS as the E71x.

would i have any limitations while browsing using the $10 plan vs. the pda plan?

i got joikuspot as well. its great.

No, no limitations. Btw, just to let you know I think it's $10 for those who have a family plan, $15 for those with individual plans.
Your up early.

Speaking of the $10 thing. I saw that AT&T has the family data. I guess you just answered my question.

Thanks!

Well if by family data you mean unlimited data for up to 5 lines, I don't know about that. I just know that if you have a family plan you get a $5 discount on each line that has data. I have unlimited txt & picture messaging for up to 5 lines for $30/mo.

So how are you liking the E71? Personally I think I'd rather have the E75.
