iPad 3G’s Internet Plan Through AT&T
In this article I will be discussing the 3G internet plans from AT&T for the new Apple iPad 3G version that came out late last month. There are two internet plans at the moment from AT&T. There is the $14.99 plan that comes with 250 MB of data and there is the unlimited plan that goes for $29.99 plan.
Which plan is the right plan for you? When it comes to deciding which iPad 3G internet plan through AT&T you should get you need to take a look at how you will be using your internet plan and what you will be doing online. Like for instance, if you are going to be only downloading small files or checking your email then you would probably want to go with the 250 MB plan. If you are going to be using the iPad to download large files or watch lots of Youtube videos or use the internet connection for work purposes then you might want to go with the unlimited plan.
Now let’s talk about each of the iPad’s 3G internet plan through AT&T individually. The first of the 3G internet plans from AT&T is the 250 MB plan. This 250 MB plan roughly translates in to thirty five minutes of Youtube videos in standard definition, eight to ten minutes of watching you tube videos in 720P hi-definition, downloading around 75 mp3s, browsing roughly 3,000 web pages, or downloading 4,000 photos from Facebook or MySpace. Now once you get down to 25% left it will notify you and it will do the same when you get down to 10%. When you have used all of your 250 MB it will prompt you to either reload or to switch to the unlimited plan to keep using your internet service. No overages and no contracts!
Now let’s discuss the unlimited plan from AT&T. The unlimited plan is truly an unlimited plan because it comes without the 5 GB cap. Now if you are planning on using your data plan for things like work or to downloading large files then the unlimited plan is probably the best for you. AT&T is also including free AT&T Wi-Fi hot spot access for people who have the 3G internet plan. So that means that when you are at some place like Starbucks you can connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot for free and it does not go against your data plan.

Choosing A Cell Phone Family Plan
In today’s technology world, it’s necessary for people to have a cell phone and with the size of the family growing as well as growing up, checking out the various cell phone family plans is the wisest thing that one can do. Not only has the world changed, but with the way the economy is going, many people need to tighten their financial belts to make ends meet. You may be able to cut corners in some areas of your life, but to get rid of the cell phone is like cutting off our right arm.
There are a few things that you need to think about to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. I’m sure that is someone that you speak to on a regular basis that is not happy with their cell phone service for one reason or another, but because of the typical two year contract, they have no choice but to stay with the plan or pay hefty cancellation fees to get out of it.
As a consumer you need to take your time to find the plan that is best for you and your family. This is something that shouldn’t be rushed into. Like I said before, you will be locked into the plan for two years so choose wisely.
Go to the different cell phone outlets. It would be smart to focus on the providers store like AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint or any of the other ones. Going with a cell phone outlet that sell all the providers under one roof may not be the best for getting the best price and plan.
The intenet is a great place to start your search. Each of the service providers have their own website where you can get most of your information. It will save you a lot of time on doing the research as well as driving around town and using up all that gas.

Cell Phone Family Plans: AT&T
One of the companies that I’ve used over the last ten years is AT&T. Their cell phone family plans are well structured like any one of the other wireless service providers. Their plan is called the Family Talk Plan. The plan has eight different levels. The first plan gives you 550 anytime minutes that cost $59.99 for two phones and allows you to add one more for $9.99. I know you are probably saying right now “My kid can use up that many minutes in a week, how can that last a month for three phones? i would agree with you on that, but that’s why they offer so many other levels.
The next plan that they have is for $69.99 of the first two lines with 700 anytime minutes. You can add up to five lines on this plan. With all these plans that AT&T offers, you are not charged for minutes that are used with any other AT&T wireless customer even if they are not within your family plan.
Their plans continue to go up inclemently until you get to their top of the line family plan which offers you unlimited minutes, unlimited everything for the starting price of $199.99 for two lines and for each additional line is $99.99. Yes, these prices are per month, so if you have a family of five this plan is definitely not for you unless you think paying $500 per month for cell phone service is no problem.
AT&T Family Talk Plan also offers something that may help you if you live in an area that AT&T provides landline service. The plan plan is called their “Unity Plan”. The plan is designed to let you set up your cell phone plan to allow you to call landline phone numbers. The plans start at $69.99 for 700 minutes with two lines and you can add up to three more lines for additional $9.99 for each of them.
