I was going to ask what the point of this was, because I can just do it already on my iPhone. But from the comments I guess they charge you extra for it in the US? That sucks.


I'm curious how much data you get, and for how much money?


Me? I get 5GB of data on my plan which costs $89 AU a month. That includes unlimited phone calls, SMS, voicemail etc The only thing with a cap of any kind on it is the data, and I never use even close to 5GB, even with my iPad and MacBook tethering occasionally.


For comparison, here are some US rates:

T-Mobile: Unlimited txt/voice, 5GB data == $89.99 USD (2GB is 10 less, there is no cost overage after the cap, but the speed drops to less than 2G)

Sprint: Unlimited txt/voice/data == $110

ATT: Unlimited txt/voice, 4GB == $115, 2GB == $95
