Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
AT&T (formerly Cingular) has a prepaid SIM to which mobile web browsing options can be added. Currently there are the following options:

  • 1MB = $4.99 / month
  • 5MB = $9.99 / month
  • Unlimited (MediaNet Unlimited) = $19.99 / month. For details see here.

Misc information:

  • The options are activated by calling 611 (a voice recognition system). Select "Feature Packages" and then "MediaNet".

  • According to this link, the APN to use for the offer is wap.cingular

  • The following username / password might be required: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM / CINGULAR1 (case sensitive)

  • The Pay-As-You Go offer is described here, but information on the MediaNet options is scarce.

  • All add-ons seem to be for mobile browsing only, but the phone can be used as a modem for a notebook (last checked June 2008)

  • The ATT homepage does not mention if other services suchs as POP/SMTP, etc. are available. In practice, POP/SMTP and also IPSec for VPNs is possible (last checked June 2008).

  • Network: GSM/EDGE in 1900 and 850 MHz, 3G in same bands but not sure if Prepaid SIMs are allowed there.
