Again, glad I spent the time to ask a question.  Thank you all for the input.  You have been as insightful as AT&T.  My question is simply this.  Data is data.  It's going through my phone one way or the other.  As you said, gas is expensive. True.  Last time i checked, no station charged me more for putting the gas in my new truck or in my old beater or a plastic can.  AT&T isn't providing me a service, the capability is built into the device and wasn't even created by AT&T.  All I am asking is why doesn't this seem wrong to anyone at AT&T.  Not my first day in the USA guy.   {Please keep it courteous}
