[Q] Is there any way to keep media net unlimited (not smartphone plan)?

---

I have a 5-6 year old media net unlimited plan $20 from AT&T which I got when I was using a Motorola MPX220. After that phone I used unlocked smartphones (tilt - UK version and tilt2 - Australian version).

Is there any way to keep this plan after buying this phone? Can I be grandfathered in or is that only possible with the $30 data plans?

no more media net
you WILL get switched to a $25 plan

Buy the phone with no commitment and you can use it.

That is what I did. I have the same plan, if I get a contract I lose my unlimited plan.

No its possible. ATT will recognize your imei number and bump you to a data plan. You have to buy a phone that is not in ATT system such as bell version of atrix. Other wise no chance.

okay so between James62370 and sl8125, one of you is spreading FUD.
it seems like for one person it works but according to another, it wouldnt. whats up with that? o_O
i have a $10 unlimited data plan for messaging phones that i am currently using with a no commitment TILT2 and the phone prior to that was an iphone 2g.
so James62370, it works? if you buy the phone no commitment?

You wil get switched to a smartphone data plan if you use a smartphone they recognise the imei number of.

That's what I said. Anyways even some n1 user have been switched over. I am just one of those lucky one.

Ok ... here is how you can see if you can keep your old plan:

Check the features you have on your line ... If you have a feature called "Smartphone Exclusion" then no matter what ... AT&T wont be able to put the required data plans on you line automatically (the $15 or $25 / month)

If you have unlimited texting for the family as well ... then by providing a non-smartphone IMEI for your line you can get unlimited internet for $10/month.
