That is what I do. 20$/month for Virgin Mobile stupidphone, plus $10/month for a Freedompop, which I use for the iPod Touch and iPad when out of wi-fi range. I could probably go lower if I had to, but then I'd have to watch my usage.

Man Emails AT&T's CEO, Gets Threatened With C&D Order 306

Posted by timothy on Thursday June 03, 2010 @06:27PM from the better-than-a-d-&-c-order dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After its recent bait and switch, AT&T went ahead and threatened someone emailing the company CEO about customer service concerns, namely with a query about tethering and eligibility rates. The email author also put up a voicemail recording of the company's response and how he managed to contact the CEO in the first place — through The Consumerist." As Engadget notes (as does the complaining customer's updated page), AT&T did at least offer an apology for the threat of legal action, which the company says was unauthorized.

Rather than being embarrassed by this gross example of collective punishment (a practice outlawed in the Geneva conventions) against Coshocton, OH, the MPAA's spokeslizard took the opportunity to cry poor (even though the studios are bringing in record box-office and aftermarket receipts)."
