That sure does sound cheaper than ATT - another person posted that
CNGLR offers a 19.99 unlimited data plan, which I've seen on their
site, but does this really include for laptops too? if it does i'm
sold! The only reason I've not went to cnglr is due to the fact that
my account has 3 lines, and I do not want to get 3 new phones. They're
difficult and will not let me use my own phones, they're all nokias,
If I were to simply unlock them all, why the heck not!?
I mean I can care less about rollover - all I really care for is
unlmtd m2m, 7pm nights, and cheaper unlmtd data. I do also like the
fact that cnglr lets you have 7pm nights on any plan for just 7$ more.

You don't have to buy a phone from Cinuglar. I NEVER buy from the phone
company, they get more money from you that way. With Cingular if you
have your own phone that is unlocked and supports 850mhz there is not
reason why you would need a new phone. Back in May when I switched from
T-Mobile I used my Nokia 6230 prototype and they didn't question it. The
only problem I had was at that time, the Cingular database didn't like
my IMEI, but that was because it was a prototype and their computer
didn't recognize the model number.

On a side note, if you do have your own phone and you sign up for new
service, they will still make you sign a one year contract. This is
standard with just about any company.

I too use Media Works with my laptop. In fact, I'm posting this message
using my Nokia 6620 attached to my Sony Vaio Laptop via Bluetooth all on
the Media Works Package.

Now, you do realize that ATT has 7pm nights, without having to pay
that extra $7 right?

Indeed -- all you have to do is sign up for a rate plan that's way more than
$7.
