I have the Samsung A707. I will be back in NY for a few weeks in June/July. My relatives there don't have a computer or internet service. So my plan is to bring my laptop home. I am going to use my cell phone and tether it to my laptop to use as a modem. This will let me access the internet from my laptop rather then "browse" through my cell phone.
I can add this feature to my plan for $60.00 the day I leave and cancel it 30 days later. The down side to this is the fact I only get 5gb as part of the feature. Anything in excess of that I pay extra for. I think it breaks down to like 50 cents per meg.
I was looking at the ATT web site. It says that data usage may take as much as 5 business days to be updated in my account. Does anyone kn ow if there is a program I can download and install that will let me monitor my data transfer quicker than that?
While this feature averages $12.00 a gig for the first 5, each gig over that comes out to about $500, so I want to be real careful not to exceed my allotted 5 gig option.
Thanks for any assistance or suggestions.
