Im thinking about buying an iPhone 4. I need to know something about the data plans. Read the details below?

Say you have a data plan of 1gb. Say you bought an app thats 4mb. would you still be able to use 1gb on the internet or does buying apps use that.

    1gb equals roughly 1,000 mb. So, you would have 996mb left for downloading. Anytime you use any data at all (downloading apps, email, surfing the web, etc.) it subtracts from your 1gb that you purchased. If you have a WiFi connection at home, I would reccomend you download all of your apps while connected to that, as data over WiFi doesn't count on your 1gb of data you got from AT&T.

    Any downloads using the cellular network will come off of your allowance. However to adress your point, it's very rare that I download apps, music or videos when i haven't got acess to wifi. Wifi is free on all data plans, so is best to use that as much as possible.

    you are able to't use an iPhone on AT&T without a know-how plan and the information plan can't be canceled. you ought to purchase one for finished value - $599/$699 - loose up it (if there's a jailbreak/loose up available) which voids your guarantee and use it with T-cellular without a know-how plan.
