You won't need a new SIM if you buy it off contract All they give you is the new phone

you can buy off contract (out right), but if your $20 data plan is not for a smart phone. The system will automaticlly put you on the 2g data plan and you will lose your unlimited. Now if your $20 unlimited data is for a smart phone i would make sure that when you purchase the phone, talk to the rep and make sure that they still have you on the unlimited plan...there are way around this...hope this helps...

Currently using it on a Fuse on 3G

So the big issue is $20 per month plus ~$600 for the phone = unlimited data (2 years = $1080)

or

$25 per month plus ~$150 for the phone = 2gig per month (2 years = $750)

Currently using less then 2gig per month but thats with the Fuse....struggling with what to do but I guess we need to see real prices first.

if your on a smartphone unlimited plan, you are locked in for unlimited data on any smart phone... you have tol let the rep know that you have unlimited data when you get the atrix...

I have the vibrant on a at&t unlimited plan that's non smartphone. Will I be detected & upgraded with the atrix 4g?

If you are on a non-smartphone data plan and get an Atrix it is extremely likely that AT&T will detect you and require you to switch data plans.

Just curious, why haven't they detected my vibrant?

Because the Vibrant isn't one of the phones AT&T issues.

This isn't the case. At least, it wasn't when I quit Radioshack a year ago.

All people on AT&T that had the original $20 unlimited data are entitled to it, for as long as they want. You just have to tell them you had it. They can check your plan to see if you previously had it, and if you did, will be able to keep it.

Although, AT&T royally ****ed me when I quit Radioshack(They cancelled my Employee Plan, and I lost all my benefits, they then went ahead and told me they have no record of me ever being a *customer,* so I wasn't entitled to the older plans.)

Again, this was a year ago; They might have changed things since then. I would call and ask.

Realistically, though, 2gb on a phone isn't the easiest thing to cap out.. Especially when the phone has built in Wi-Fi.
