AT&T to Officially Mandate Data Plans for All Smartphones
What Happens when?
Someone runs into a tough financial time, and no longer needs the data for business or pleasure and needs to terminate the data plan? (and of course, still needs voice service on the high end phone)
Wireless COMPANIES ARE GETTING TOO GREEDY!!! If someone wants to pay more for a phone and not use the data plan just because they like the keybad and organizer...then let them....you cant keep forcing charges on customers.
I know a lot of sales people for att that throw 2 and 3 features on peoples accounts that they dont even ask for....enhanced voicemail, roadside assistance, phone insurance. its getting out of hand!!!
Screw verizon, att, sprint, and tmobile. they need some serious lessons in ethics.

How is requiring a data pkg on a smartphone unethical?!?! A customer knows they are signing an agreement for service. Please explain how it is a carrier's fault if you fall on hard times financially? Now as for reps adding on features to an acct.. Thats calling an idividual rep's ethincs, not ATT as a company.

Plus, the cost of the phone has been at least partially subsidized by the data plan. Before Verizon mandated the data plan, PDA phones ran in the $400-600 price range. Now they're typically running in the sub-$200 range, and in my experience, most PDAs over $200 just don't sell.
I've seen pay-per use PDA customers run bills in the thousands of dollars. If you want a PDA and not a plan, just get an iPod touch.
