Verizon has a cap of 5gb with overage charges after that. ATT doesn’t have an official cap but I’m sure after using WAY more than your phone could ever use in a month by using it tethered and downloading things will throw up a few red flags, especially considering the Iphone has to be hacked to allow tethering in the first place. ---

Being grandfathered in is +1. I’m paying $3 for insurance (which is like $7 now), and unlimited data/text/picture. They require everything data because I have a Pre, but I have a $10 discount of some sort from their regular everything plan because I already had unlimited everything before the Pre. My bill is never more than $85/month and I have EVERYTHING possible on my account. ---
