It's ALL data. Yet they don't charge you for that data. At least not as data. So somehow at&t already has the ability to tell that phone call data and messaging data shouldn't be counted as data. |

 | reply to iansltx It won't be unlimited with them. They'd still have usage buckets and minute buckets. Why would they be willing to give up something they make a ton of cash on? They wouldn't. |
