Sounds like you got one of the few reps that don't know what the phone is. The data plan should be the same price but they have you on the dumb phone pricing. Its a way around the system. Been doing it with Nokia phones for a long time with them. I always tell them its an old flip phone and play dumb to get the 15 dollar data.

I brought the subject up also at a corporate AT&T store here in town and they told me that was the price as well, so there must really be some confusion about the phone at AT&T. I won't complain if they think the Nexus One is a dumb phone :-)Sounds like you got one of the few reps that don't know what the phone is.

When you have a phone that does not come from their inventory they are not sure what it is according to their system. You can then be put on the cheaper data and just tell them its an old candy bar phone or flip phone. Just pull a number for a edge phone off the net.
They also have the unlimited data and text for 30 now for the non smartphones which saves you 20 bucks a month. Just call it in since a visit to the store will usually land you the higher price.
It was nice using the N and E series Nokias on the cheap plans running 3.5G.03-22-2010 08:12 PM
