ATT has told me that you CANNOT use your wifi at home without consuming your data plan UNLESS it's a block within one of the hotspots. We have 3 hotspots within a half mile of our home, but are too far to be able to use it from our home. We have wifi all throughout the house and we tap on our connection on the phone, but it still charges our data plan.

Of course, when we got the phone and signed on for another two years, the salesman told us we could access our home wifi without consumption to our data plan. Now a month later we find out the truth. If anyone knows a way around this, I would love to hear it.  I wanted a smartphone too but with having to have these individual data plans (which I understand) just wish they would've kept the family plan in as a choice.
