I've taken my sim card from my old Razr and put it in my new tilt. Everything seems to be working fine. I had unlimited MediaNet data on my Razr. Will that carry thru to my new Tilt?

yes, it will carry through until AT & T realize you have a WM phone then they may make changes to your plan.

i had the same thing i went into the store and asked and all the did was register my phone with the SIM/phone # with the IMEI # the guy said this will keep people from stealing it and putting a new SIM in. but in all reality there isn't a reason to go in and do anything the plan is identical UNLESS! you add MS Exchange, then they tack on an extra $10 or maybe $20 i would have to check. I don't recommend it just hook up your gmail account.

I would just keep the sim int he new device and not say anything about it. Let ATT figure it out. I seriously doubt they will though since they have warranty swaped and upgraded my phones in the past and everytime I call they still think I have my original from when I first started...

hope my reply helped 2 seperate plans unlimited (which you have) and the Exchange server (allows sync with windows exchange, outlook etc.)

It's not a guess but a fact as I had the 20$ unlimited media package from my razr, then to my Hermes, then to my kaiser, and all was well until my Kaiser crapped out and had to upgrade to the ppc plan to get my new kaiser running. 35$!! They say that data plan doesn't work for ppc's, even though It was working just fine for two and a half years; I smell a lawsuit coming...

I'm not sure why nobody has looked into this with their local attorney's or even at a Federal level, these phone company's are getting away with anything they wish! I don't even pay half that amount for my monthly DSL! Fuck this shit, goin to downtown L.A. today to connect with my Lawyers

Point is, you shouldn't have to run circles and basically trick your service provider from charging you more monthly charges when it's not necessary for getting the same service. Multiply the added service charge by how many new customers are being duped=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yea, there's a way to sneak past these charges by pretending to own an old school miami vice brick phone; but how many other people are getting screwed???

The point is, the plans are pretty unclear now as both are "unlimited". But the cheaper one is to be understood as having lets say a 3GB/month limit before they will come and moan at you because there's no way you'd download that amount of data using a common phone and light browser, while with the expensive one you can do what you want (truly unlimited).
The only thing you would get from suing them is for them to state a clear transfer limit for the cheap plan. The thing is that, but if they have too much trouble they'll just limit the cheap one at lets say 2GB/month.
Or you wouldn't get anywhere as I wouldn't be surprised if there was already a limit mentioned somewhere in the small print that nobody reads.

No, Both plans are labelled and listed as "unlimited" media packages, and I've experienced no extra charges from extra kb or mb downloads for the last two years

there was never a specification on download kb's. It was an all you can eat plan, I must have spent an hour on the phone making sure I wouldn't be charged for exceeding my download limit as I 've seen my friends phone bill exceed 1000$ in one month for sending one too many pics and texts

That's the point. They don't have a fixed transfer amount after which they charge you for extra traffic, rather if they judge you use too much with regard to the device category your plan is meant for they'll "kindly force" you to change for the one that matches the usage you really make of it.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, a contract is a contract, and you can't just change a stipulation or add a ghost policy because it might not suit your company's best interests. Only in my second year of law school, but c'mon, this smells like horseshit, gonna read the finer details today
