What are you going to do with unlimited talk on your tablet? This is the same plan they offer for smartphones, except that you can actually make phone calls on smartphones. Plus they will throttle you after 2gb. This plan should be $25 cause you’re not going to use any voice minutes or texts.
I don’t know who’s misinformed here, not to mention how this article feels like advertising :/ “if you’re a mamarazzi…” what!? Their plans are $15 for 1GB, $25 for 2GB both expiring in 30 days and $40 for 3GB and $50 for 4GB expiring in 60 days. These plans are all that new though. I know that the $45 ‘unlimited’ (2.5GB of high speed before throttling btw) + talk & text could NOT be used in tablets so maybe this change is new but I wouldn’t call it newsworthy.
