AT&T to Require Data Plans on Smartphones and BlackBerry

Starting September 6, new AT&T customers who purchase a smartphone or BlackBerry, as well as existing AT&T customers that upgrade to one of those devices will be required to purchase a $30 data plan with their phone.   This requirement puts AT&T in line with the other major carriers, all of whom have had this requirement for a while (although pricing varies by carrier).   Until now, AT&T had only required a data plan for the iPhone, one that is built into a separate series of plans available for that device.

AT&T Parental Controls

It's a question we get fairly often... how do I better control my child's wireless experience? One solution has just been introduced by AT&T. Called Smart Limits, this $4.99 per-line monthly feature (you didn't think they would do this for free did you??) lets parents set limits on when a wireless phone can make and receive calls (and from whom), as well as restrict text messages, talk time, ringtones and other downloads.
