2 GB data plan missing from choices

**FullStrength** · 03-28-2011, 03:49 PM

I wanted to up my plan to 2G plan. However When i go to my features, there are no choices, except to texting plans and the plan i am already on? Am i going to the wrong place.

There are no "2G" plans currently available. Can you explain what you mean? Are you referring to 2 gigabytes of internet/data?

**FullStrength** · 03-28-2011, 07:22 PM

2G meaning 2 Gigabytes of data, not 2g like gprs.

That plan is only available for phones AT&T Mobility classifies as smartphones. The two phones in your profile are not recognized as smartphones by AT&T Mobility. Neither of those phones has a QWERTY keyboard although they meet the operating system criterion.

By the way, you have to use recognized abbreviations if you want to communicate in forums.
2G means Second Generation
2 GB is a widely recognized abbreviation for two gigabytes

(I presume that you mean "N73.")

No you presume wrong, i am on att android. BTW you have to work in IT to know there are many repetitive abbreviations. Most normal people who aren't high and mighty and full of themselves would think 2G refered to 2 Gigabytes, or would be smart enough not to make an issues of it. If you want to communicate in real life, you have to understand there are multiple meaning for words, and the world doesn't bow down to you.

2G does not and never has stood for "2 Gigabytes", 2 GB is correct for that. Especially in the context of mobile telephony, where "2G" has a completely different meaning, it should not used for anything else.

When you speak do you say 2G or 2GB ? Maybe in your small wireless circles, but as a person who has been in IT for 15 years, no one every says GB in regards to space. People say 2 megs, or 2 G, etc . The fact thats its an issue shows how closed minded people are and the post above said the correction. So apparently reading post above isnt a requirement for efparri. Please promise you would will never error or be misunderstood, if you cant them stop making incredible dumb criticisms .

Nobody I ever met says "Gee" for Gigabyte. They either say "Gigabyte" or just "gig", but never "Gee".

"Gee" stands for generation as in 2G, 3G, 4G, I've never heard it used in any other way.

Well in real life, people use words for different meanings.... Dog...

Besides still no answered to my question ?

Verztd was the only one smart enough to understand my initial correction.

So your original question was you're currently on the $15/200 MB smartphone data plan and you want to upgrade to the $25/2 GB smartphone data plan, but that option isn't available to you in OLAM, did I understand that correctly?

You just changed your profile to delete the telephones. When I posted my reply, you had N95 and M73 listed. When you change your profile, the change is made for all previous instances. Even if you change your user name, that also happens except for quoted messages.

How true. You have to use the jargon appropriate to the venue.

Assuming you have a sim that is on the $15/200 MB smartphone data feature, is that sim still in an Att branded Android when you were on OLAM? I have noticed my OLAM may look weird when my sim is in a smartphone with a different OS or in a unbranded phone compared to the data feature the sim is provisioned for. For example, if I put my sim that is provisioned with the iPhone unlimited feature in an unbranded phone, OLAM would not show the 200 MB nor the 2GB option. If that same sim is in a iPhone, I can down grade to either of those two features.

I have never referred to my Dish DVR's HDD as a 1T b4
