the fastest way to get your mobile carrier to drop you is to get an unlimited data plan, and stream stuff all day... :chuckles:

Now they are all 5gb/month. They will just charge the fuck out of you if you go over 5gb.

I'm not sure about them but my phone told me it was on a different carrier/network the entire time. It should be pretty obvious.
still, $62k to download a single movie? i doubt their cost approaches even 1% of that.

I don't disagree that the rates are outrageous, just saying that the should have had prior knowledge.

LOLz. When I went on a cruise last September my next month's cell phone bill was over twice what it normally is. All I did was check HAN and Slickdeals a few times. :wtc:
