0.10mbps - 0.20 mbps :-\ Officially that's 3G

OMG, that's dismal (slower than my BB), kills the deal IMHO... Hard to stay under 250mb with such a hot phone/plan.

But you're stuck with (for s long as you stay) a shoddy carrier, problematic roaming, etc.

Maybe if they offer this stuff after their T-Mo merge...

Hence I said no data. I think it's pretty good for someone not looking for data but wants solid service

Any AT&T phone would work. Alternatively, any unlocked GSM phone would work

It's meant for people who are usually within reach of a WiFi network. They have (had?) pretty nasty T&Cs to discourage abuse by people who don't ever plan on using the WiFi functionality. Caveat emptor.

+1 Well worth the $10 IMHO. If you need internet than get a Nexus 4 and you'll have it connected via Wi-Fi
