Welcome to JB, a whole new world opens up.

I personally love apple product, but HATE how they want to nickel and dime you for the simplest thing. Next thing is to JB your IPAD and one app I recomment is BTSTAK.

Good luck

Default Help me understand JB

I have a 3G iphone and want to get an ipad for the airplane. If I JB the phone I can buy a 3G ipad to get gps but will not need to buy the 3G service again for the ipad, correct? I will be able to connect to the internet if needed through wifi to my phone... that would be a big saving!

Default Be Careful if you have an unlimited data plan

AT&T does not sell unlimited data plans anymore unless you are grandfathered in from an older plan. They have announced that if they catch you tethering to a computer by jailbreaking that they will automatically change you to a 4 GB plan and your unlimited plan is gone forever.

Even if you want to buy tethering AT&T only offers tethering on the pay-as-you go plans and if you switch then you lose your unlimited data plan forever.

John,
You are correct.

With Verizon having entered the world of IPHONE, I wonder how much more AT&T can do to alienate their customers. I re-joined AT&T only because of their monopoly on Iphone, but that is not the case any more and I would gladly join another carrier if they want to monitor and police my usage on the service I am paying for.

With JB Iphone, I can join any other carrier such as T-Mobile which I had a very positive experience with and they provided unlimited data services.
