I would guess it is 3g.

Scare tactics... They are blowing smoke up your ass.. I say the same thing to people that I set up accounts for with unlocked phones. It's how I make $$$$! Features baby!

My advice to all of you on at&t is....

Stop telling them you have a N1.. The dark lord at&t cannot tell you have a Nexus One by the IMEI. So that means it's just another unsupported device on the network... Now this means you can have the LOWEST PRICE data plan... $10 UNLIMITED.. I DO NOT ADVISE TETHERING A LOT!!! IT"S A GOOD WAY TO GET NOTICED BY THE DARK SIDE!

As far as 3g goes. The data plan has NOTHING to do with you getting 3g or not. It's all a matter of the phone you have. IF you have a Nexus One with at&t supported 3g THEN you will get 3g.

Just called and told them I had an unlocked phone. Gave them my IMEI number and it showed up as an unknown device in their system! $10 data plan for me!

Yes, does not depend on the data plan. I was using my N1 for a week before I switched my profile and removed my iPhone plan and I am using the AT&T version N1 and the internet still worked!

I wish I was so lucky. Every rep I've talked to, and I've talked to 3, tells me the $10 unlimited plan can only be used with family plans.

Grrrrrrr.

VydorScope · 05-14-2010, 10:34 PM

Well I just ordered my Nexus One hope to pull off the $10 fun.

And I am on the family plan.

You guys were lucky. I called to get a cheaper plan from the Blackberry plan I had. He was quite for a few minutes and when he began talking to me again he said, I see you have the nexus one. Great phone. since it is a smart phone you will have to keep the plan you have or none.

I never told him I had the nexus One and I never gave him my imei number. He told me what I was talking on.

Do you know of a way around this? I have to pay 50 a month for unlimited web and texting. Stupid stupid stupid...

VydorScope · 05-15-2010, 07:22 AM

You could try going over to their face book page, and complaining about your bill (do not mention specifics), a rep will then offer to "go over your bill and see what is the best plan for you" and see what they say.

jakkzen · 05-15-2010, 07:43 AM

It surprises me that they would be able to see the phone type unless snooper has been able to log the imei of the n1.

The $10 data plan is available if you have a family plan or an individual plan with unlimited messenginh.

king244 · 05-15-2010, 08:32 PM

just looked online...the lowest plan for 39.99 / month is 450 minutes plus 5.00 month for 200 messages and the lowest price data plan for a 'basic phone' is 15.00 / month
