Good morning, Andrea, What provider do you use and what phone do you have? -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrea Breier Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 7:57 PM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] communist plot? Okay what is the deal with the data plans being forced on us customers by the wireless telephone companies? I currently have a really great data card that I use with my laptop. So now we have it established that I am not trying to get out of paying for a data plan. I pay $59. per month for an unlimited plan. I have also had for two years now a sweet little phone that I love. Secretly I vouhed to never give it up. It wasn't to be though, I recently broke it and had to have it replaced by the insurance company. Because I have to have windows mobile to run mobile speaks that I currently hate, because they don't have any tech support. But that is a whole other story. To make a longer story shorter, They are not making my wonderful little phone any more, and so the gave me a really cool ozone phone, which is really cool too. Any way, because I got this new phone after October, I have to have a data plan on the windows mobile phone. I explained that I already have a data plan that I wish to stay with. They say that I have to have a data plan. They say that I can use my phone for a modem for the same amount of money that I already pay. If I keep the data card I will have to pay for the additional cost of the data plan whether I want it or not. My current phone plan doesn't run out until June 2010. My data car and Mikes plans are over and I could stop those plans now. Oh dear Abby, what should I do about this. Should I keep both data plans? Should I get rid of the data card and use my phone for a modem? Are there any other blind people that thing we should challenge the phone companies to be exempt from this to run assistive technology? I hear that A T and T has such a thing? It anyone can make since of what I have explained, please tell me your thoughts on this matter. thanks in advance for your two cents. Regards, Andrea M.
