AT&T continues crackdown against unofficial MyWi tethering
It looks like AT&T is continuing the crackdown on unofficial tethering as readers have reported another round of text messages from AT&T this morning:
AT&T Free Msg: We've noticed you're continuing to enjoy the tethering feature with your smartphone service. Remember, you need a tethering plan ($45/mo, incl. 4GB) to use this feature, so we're planning to update your line with the required plan soon. Visit att.com/dataplans or call 888-860-6789.
Last month AT&T sent out text and email notifications to iPhone users who used MyWi to tether their unlimited data plan. AT&T threatened to switch their plan over to the Data Pro 4GB tethering plan unless they called in, and some users reported success in keeping their unlimited plan when claiming they used large amounts of data from apps like Netflix and Pandora and weren't using the tethering feature.
It appears AT&T is pretty serious about putting a stop to unofficial tethering at this point and won't be letting up anytime soon. In addition, it was previously speculated that one of the tracking methods they used was simply targeting high data users (10GB seemed to be the threshold), but some users receiving the message have used tethering extremely sparingly, keeping their monthly data usage well below 10GB since the original message was sent last month.
Have you seen any new messages from AT&T regarding unofficial tethering? And more interestingly, do you think it's fair for AT&T to strip users of their grandfathered unlimited data plans for using the data they've already paid for in an "unofficial" way? Let us know in the comments!

AT&T continues crackdown against unofficial MyWi tethering
This is the 3rd year in a row they've spent $20 billion on their network. Now they just wrote a check and bought an entire cell phone company. How about you hand over your checkbook.
Some people drink too much of that 'corporations are always right' flavored ayn rand drink
agreed ... people need to sort whats deemed 'corporate' right/wrong from what is truly right/wrong for Joe public - as in the end, it's Joe Public who keep these monstrous megaliths alive - they need to be a part of the equation to SERVE as much as we need to be part of the equation to support...
So because AT&T is trying to keep their users in correspondence with the Terms and Conditions of their service that they agreed to when they signed on with AT&T and got the iPhone, these text messages saying that they are going to alter their plans so that they are complying with what they agreed to are THREATS???
Andrew Wray, I think you're delusional.
I've been following this for years. AT&T has done it numerous times. Check the AT&T Facebook page from time to time. People are trying to be slick putting their non smart phone sims into iPhones, then people are getting pissed when AT&T automatically changes their plans
Actually ATT CAN change your plan, alter your service or cancel your contract at any time. They do not have to provide a reason or proof. It is in ths terms and conditions all ATT customers agreed to when they joined the network. www.att.com search for wireless contract or terms amd conditions. I suggest reading them and being correctly informed before screaming of legalities. Like it or not
I'm sorry...I thought the definition of "unlimited" was: 1. not limited; unrestricted; unconfined 2. boundless; infinite; vast 3. without any qualification or exception; unconditional. If someone has an unlimited plan then they're paying for the privilege of using as much data as they damn well please. Would any of us tolerate this if our ISP did it because we used a router on our home connection? Let's not use terms of fairness. Let's be realistic: corporations don't exist to be fair. It is a business transaction. I pay for unlimited therefore if I am being limited in any way that business transaction agreement is in breach. My argument isn't for or against tethering. It's against the idea that I should care how much data I use. How anyone consumes that data is irrelevant. I pay taxes for unlimited access to public roads whether I drive a car or ride a bIke. Whether it's an interstate highway or the information superhighway they're both conduits for getting to where you want to go.
It's "unlimited" for your mobile device use, as much as you want, not to share with computers.
Restaurants offer all-you-can-eat specials because they know one person can only eat so much food. But, they don't allow people to share their meals with other mouths. Likewise, why should AT&T allow you to share your mobile device's data with larger, more data-consuming computers?
By the way, I occasionally tether with MyWi when I'm away from home, just for light surfing for a few minutes here and there, and only usually use about 200 MB per month, so I'm not at all against the jailbreaking tethering crowd. But, If I receive one of these messages from my carrier, I most certainly will stop. What I'm doing is against my contract, plain and simple. I guess I justify it by staying well under what most people use with their phones alone, streaming video, downloading large files, etc... which I've never been into.
I don't want anyone here to lose their unlimited by tethering... but you can't win an argument if you're wrong, just because you want to be right.
The unlimited plan was designed and priced for smartphone data usage, not becoming your home data connection for your PC. Your ISP also has some limitations. Try hanging a server on your home internet connection and see how fast your ISP clamps down. It's like an all you can eat buffet, you can't take home a doggy bag.
Unlimited is unlimited on the phone. iPhones have only been able to tether for the past year/year and a half through the support of their OS, prior to the OS simply did not support it. And during THAT time, other phones had tethering capabilities. THOSE devices were NEVER privy to unlimited tethering. Blackberry, Andriod, Symbian and Windows OS users had to change to the same tethering plan. Difference being, one could still go back to unlimited at that point. Yes, unlimited data on smartphones is no longer available to ANY smartphone user unless you already have it. Being grandfathered on an unlimited plan does not provide iPhone usets any special priviledges simply b/c they are grandfathered. Nor does it mean iPhone users shouldn't have to play by the same rules as all other ATT customers who dont have iPhones. All other OS phones have always had to choose the proper tethering plan.....always....and there has never been an unlimited tethering plan in recent years. Period.
On one hand you're saying that tethering makes the network worse for others. On the other hand, you say that tethering is fine as long as you pay for it.
It's either a bad thing or it's not. Paying for it doesn't change whether other users are affected by it. AT&T's choosing to and ability to upgrade their network should help, though.
Paying them isn't necessarily their incentive, as they're making a killing off of iPhones and have been for years. And, of course, many of us don't want huge towers in our back yards.
There are larger issues at work here than whether someone uses their unlimited or 2GB of data one way or another.
Because, really, if you REALLY want to go there...how about AT&T's bait-and-switch a year, ago, where they claimed that iPad 3G users would get access to unlimited data at a $30/month rate, with no contract, and the ability to turn the service on and off without losing access to that plan.
Then, in about 30 days, they took it back - even for those who already had the service. They only grandfathered access to the plan, not the ability to turn it on and off at one's leisure, without penalty.
Then there's the fact that AT&T and Apple allow downgrading of video streamed over 3G in some applications, causing awful video quality.
And that's just off the top of my head.
AT&T broke their promise long before many of its customers did.
Hacking is illegal. The courts have deemed JB'ing legal. Also, in a court of law, arguments are won not because one person is right and another is wrong...they're won because one is more compelling than another. If I purchase an HDMI cable for my iPhone and watch Netflix all night on the TV at my night job is that tethering too? Technically my tv wouldn't have access to Netflix without the data streaming from my iPhone. What's the difference if I tether it my laptop or tv? The data usage is the same.
I hate to sound petty (especially since I'm on Verizon & I don't tether) BUT the buffet analogy doesn't work in his favor. While you aren't supposed to share plates, buffets DO allow you to use more than one plate/dish at a time to enjoy your unlimited food. So by this analogy, are you saying you believe people should be allowed to tether so long as they don't share their bandwidth with anyone else? If so I agree with you. If not then we still don't see eye to eye. As long as it's MY iPhone accessing the network for data I'M consuming then how many "plates" I'm using is within the unlimited definition.
That's warping the analogy and that analogy doesn't apply at all. Your data plan is for YOUR IPHONE ONLY. The buffet is for YOU ONLY. Therefore MORE DEVICES = MORE PEOPLE, which is a breach of contract and will make you pay more.
Then we agree. You're in favor of being allowed to use that data as much as YOU want no matter how it's used... If I use my iPhone all by itself for (obviously exaggerated) 150g a month that's ok. If I tether it to my laptop & use it in the EXACT same manner except it's my laptop, what's the difference. It's semantics. I'm not talking about using my iPhone in one hand to stream pandora & at the same time d/l hundreds of movies on my laptop & at the same time play Xbox live. The iPhone is merely a conduit for Internet access regardless of implementation or use. We may have to ultimately agree to disagree. Nickel & diming customers at the indifference of said customers for a service they already pay for is unethical.
I guess I don't understand how if I am using say 1 GB of data, how it is any different if I watch it using my iPhone, or if I send it to my laptop? I am not receiving any more data than 1GB, and I am paying for that GB.
Like this - I buy a can of spaghetti, paid cash for it, took it home in a a grocery bag. Now if I eat it off a plate, or eat it from a bowl, or use a fork or use a spoon, have I somehow magically increased or decreased the amount of spaghetti that was in that can?
If you say yes you are a moron. If you say no, then you should be able to connect the dots that a GB of data seen on my phone or transmitted wirelessly to my laptop is the same darned GB of data.
Nope, it's still a gallon (still a GB).
The item it is used by still consumes it.
Once i got the notification, and called em telling em im not teathering, i stopped. Teathering at least. My data usage for teathering was about 4-5 gigs a month. So now i just download TOMTOM over 3g and thus far have racked up 10.5 gigs half way thru the cycle. 20 gigs here i come. All without teathering.
While I think the price of data is highway robbery, I can understand why AT&T is doing it. Despite personal opinion, using MyWi (or anything that circumvents paying for tethering) is a violation of your contract and can probably be considered theft of service. I know people feel entitled to use their allotted data any way they want, but unfortunately that ain't how it works.
Lol. Im just seeing what they can really do. Im not tethering, so they can kiss my a**.ive never had bad iphone service, or dropped calls. If im weighing down the network so much, my phone wouldnt have such a great network connection. Att is just trying to blame ppl for using their network. If you have crappy service and keep an iphone, thats your falt, not mine. I had t-mo and never got service in my house. I didnt blame other customers for tmobiles crappy service. I just got sprint.
IYeah, I wish they would do a tethering plan for the iPhone that's like the iPad plan.
I still have an unlimited data plan. Before I jailbroke and installed MyWi, I still managed to go over 2 GB a month usage. I use MyWi to occasionally tether my laptop or iPad but the majority of my data usage is still my phone. So far AT&T hasn't sent me any kind of message about MyWi. This may also have something to do with the fact I'm still on iOS 4.0.1. I'm really lazy about syncing my phone with itunes anyway and since jailbreaking I've been even less inclined to update. I wouldn't be surprised if something in iOS 4.3 allows AT&T to see what tethering method you're using.
If ANY carrier added something to my account with my authorization I would sue them and leave the carrier in a matter of minutes. This is complete BS if you ask me.
Actually, you broke your terms and conditions first, so you have nothing in court, if you want to sue them. They have notified you to stop, otherwise they will bring your usage and plan up to compliance, so that you are no longer violating your terms and conditions. People try to sue over anything and everything, and usually, they don't have the right to sue.
Exactly, Paul A. I need to tether occasionally. ATT's prices are ridiculous, plus I don't want to lose my unlimited plan...so I'm paying Verizon for a tethering plan. It's by far the easiest thing to do. Figure it out ATT. Give us the option to tether only when we need it, for a given dollar amount, and let us keep our plans intact.
Actually AT&T is correct in this matter. You are paying for a data plan on the phone only, anything beyond that is not covered. So bits are bits for the phone that's it. Remember AT&T as a company has to pick up the loss from the data cards they sell.
I have received a snail mail notice followed by text messages to two iPhones lines on my account out of 3. I use less than 2gb on my main tethering device via mywi and I am grandfathered into unlimited. My other iPhone has mywi for tethering very rarely to an iPod touch with the 2Gb plan...the third is not jailbroken and received no message. It is grandfathered to the unlimited plan and uses 5-6gbs of data.
Counterpoint: you would in fact be letting someone else use your water. If I tether & don't allow anyone else on my connection then I am still using my connection & since I would be using the iPhone as the conduit it's not in breach. If I were to somehow trick the network into thinking my laptop was an iPhone then I would be in breach
You just don't know how analogies work, do they?
*do you. I apparently don't know how sentences work LOL
I do, lol, which is why Im chiming in at all. I'm simply floored that more people are so blasé about being charged 2x for something. In response to the analogy comment the water company could care less how many faucets I have as long as I pay for usage. If I had an unlimited water usage agreement then I would expect to be able use as much water as I wanted in any manner I chose.
I work for AT&T and I am on the team that handles tethering calls when someone received a notification and calls in. We are not tracking high data usage. Our network uses several determining factors to detec whether someone has shared their iPhone data plan with another device. The unlimited plan is mean for use onthe iPhone only. It's only $5 more than our 2GB plan so it's not like people are paying enough to warrant "unlimited" usage on multiple devices. We have air cards and MiFi devices to help oi customers get connected on their various devices. The tethering plan (4GB/$45) also allows for the personal hotspot feature whereby the data may be shared with up to 5 devices at a time depending on your phone and OS.
Ricky, I'm not going to argue with what your company is doing or say it is wrong. But I would at least like someone from AT&T to admit they understand the frustration. If I pay $30 for 5 GB for unlimited data (Or 5 GB or whatever) then it shouldn't matter what I do as long as I stay under that cap. Why should I be forced to pay $45 for 4 GB of data (2 GB plan plus 2 GB tethering). It makes me feel dirty. I would gladly pay $50 if you give me 2 GB additional on top of my 5 to add hot spot. But I am not going to pay more for less data. And no, I don't JB or tether.
How about when I approach 3GB a month and get a notice that my speeds are going to be reduced at 3GB of useage until the end of my billing period. It did and went to what seemed EDGE speeds. I don't tether at all. Normal useage of GPS guidance and XM radio while traveling on my motorcycle. While using my phone legally and only features designed for the phone, and having the "unlimited plan", I don't think it's right to punish those that follow the rules. Unlimited, only in spirit. When it slows to EDGE speeds, it's all but useless for network needed benifits of the iPhone.
So how does AT&T know? Is it simply usage - if its high, they assume your tethering?
There isn't a 5GB cap on your unlimited plan. Where people are getting into trouble is sharing that data with other devices besides the iPhone. You wouldn't be paying more for less when you calculate the cost of purchasing data for both your cell and say, a laptop connect card. That would cost at least $75 and at most $90. Our tethering plan would allow you to connect both for $45.
No. Our labs utilize various tools to detect who I tethering. High data usage does not trigger the flag on your account - but the type of device using it. Also, if you are tethering illegally and haven't been notified it is because AT&T is notifying people in waves so as not to overwhelm our call centers.
I got the first message last month so i stopped using mywi and i received this exact on the picture above like 20 min ago i called to asked why i got the message and they said i was tethering i the only thing i was doing with my iphone was listening to pandora and i only have 3.5gb made this month...
ATT's ability to detect unauthorized Tethering is way more technically sophisticated then just targeting data usage. Explanations like streaming music, youtube, Netflix, slingplayer, etc. I ensure you ATT can refute.
@Ricky - what are the methods ATT uses for detection and how can they be circumvented? Just give it up, it's inevitable devs will figure them out...and let the cat mouse chase continue
And terherme is much better also when you downloaded that app it said they are not responsible if the carrier finds out
Notifications are sent out in regard to tethering that was done in the past few months. If you aren't tethering now, no worries. Your unlimited plan is safe. If you tether after the act by date on your notification the change will occur - if you receive the second notification and call in plus promise to stop tethering you may stop your account from "treatment" AKA plan change to the 4GB plan.
This is obnoxious on AT&T's part because no one there seems to know what is happening. That being said I got one of these notices saying I have been teathering when I have not I have a Verizon Mifi for that purpose. AT&T's only response when I tried to set them straight that I do not teather is that it is an automatic message that is sent when the system decets teathering and if I don't teather it will not auto change my plan. Then they tried go on saying plugging your phone into any device tv, computer, anything is teathering witch is obviously insane because on that logic every phone ever made has been teathered.
I use MyWi only occasionally, but have used it several times since this flap started and I've gotten no SMS. I use a couple GB's per month (grandfathered into unlimited plan).
I agree with others - if I were forcibly converted to a tethering plan, I'd take that as an opportunity to end the contract. The best AT&T could argue is rescission - that I breached the contract and now they were acting as if there never was one. Well, if that's the case, I'm out of the contract. If not, then they needed to make sure they themselves didn't breach - and since they would have, then oops, I'll take rescission, thank you very much.
I got the message today. I seriously use the following apps/websites:
Skyfire (streaming video/tv)
Atomic Web (downloading from Rapidshare, hotfile)
Downloader Pro Web (downloading from Rapidshare, hotfile)
I used 30gb regularly since january. I called AT&T and the told me their network detects tethering, i took my phone to an AT&T store and still got no help. After another call to AT&T, they told me next week my plan would change. I challenged them to prove tethering and the rep said he couldnt physically. Not an email even? Im very confused because i enjoy my service.
We all knew using MyWi wasn't quite legit. Now that we've been caught, it sits in my closet alongside Napster, Limewire and the pop top I used to freak a pay phone.
It was fun while it lasted. But don't act all shocked about it. If you use it, pay for it. If you don't, then let it go. If your mom sees you trying to disassemble a pay phone at football practice- run!
It's my phone I can do what I want with it. When AT&T continually profits every year and does not improve their network, guess who suffers, we do. They chars more, limit the customers and allow their network to get worse. They should poor those milllions they use on advertising into actual improvements on towers.
Verizon isn't unlimited, unless it has changed recently:
AT&T improved their plan slightly since the Verizon iPhone was released in that the tethering option gives you a total of 4GB for either the iPhone or tethering data. This may be better than Verizon for some as their tethering option uses a separate 2GB bucket for the data limit so you only get 2GB total for tethering with Verizon. Their iPhone-only unlimited data is also promotional as admitted by Verizon to entice customers to switch and is said to end this summer.
I think that AT&T has an intern reading blogs and look for users who jailbreak and say that they use MyFi and send them texts and emails saying stop using it or you will forced to pay up because I have not heard any android rooted users get texts/emails or other phones or even other iPhone jailbreak apps users get the notice also I can't see AT&T deep packet sniffing every smartphone to see who is using mobile hotstop without paying.
You know, because people who use MyWi and such have their phone numbers listed right by them so you know EXACTLY which phone belongs to that user...
Oh wait.
When I signed up with the unlimited iPhone plan, AT&T did not offer a tethering option, so there is no way my contract with AT&T would have prevented me from using something AT&T did not offer such as tethering. Besides, AT&T does not give you a contract to sign with all details spelled out when you activate your service. Upon my request to AT&T to send me the contract I entered into upon service activation, they referred me to their current online contract which has changed (probably more than once since my contract acceptance). What would be fair to me is if AT&T offered the modified T&C (i.e. a new contract) in exchange for let's say $10,000 (roughly the estimated cost of comparable tethering usage on AT&T network under any NEW T&C, such as their current "tethering" plan until my current contract's expiration).
If someone plays AT&T $25 a month for 2GB worth of data, I feel that they should be entitled to use that 2GB worth of data both on the phone and with tether without an extra cost. Extra $45 for 4GB is stupid.
I've been using > 10 gb per month on my non-jailbroken phone ever since the Netflix app was released. So far AT&T hasn't accused me of tethering, so I doubt they're targeting customers based on usage alone.
I understand why AT&T doesn't want users with unlimited plans to tether, but $45 for 4 gb is crazy. They just need to give people REASONABLE options for legitimate tethering.
I think it's really ridiculous that AT&T is tracking down customers using mywi which I'm sure grey have unlimited data plan what's next no pandora streaming or Netflix .. Enough is enough
If att and other carriers weren't so greedy with their data plans, people would be jailbreaking. Right now I pay 30 for my iPhone and 30 for uverse for my laptop. Att is charging me twice for Internet. I have unlimited but to tether I would only save 15 dollars and sacrifice unlimited. See att requires me to have data on a smartphone. Why do I need to buy it for a computer? I think I am ready to jailbreak except I couldnt find a way to do so.
I just cannot believe some people STILL think they have a right to use the data however they want. READ YOUR TOS. It's for your iPhone only! It's REALLY not that hard to understand.
That being said, I can understand being upset at AT&T because they'll take away your unlimited to add tethering. That is BS. But, the plans are the plans and if you want to have unlimited with tethering, there IS an option - Verizon.
AT&T needs to be more reasonable with their prices. I wish they werent buying out t-mo because eventually they would have gotten it and they would of probably offered better pricing. For such a large network they offer very little for every much.
We received a text from AT&T saying we were using too much and all we used was Sirius xm.
My friend received a text today and she got a letter from AT&T in the mail stating that they will be billed for a tethering plan immediately. She's on a family plan with her roommates and they each have MyWi on their phones for tethering, so I know they use huge chunks of data. I told her to tell them that they use a lot of Pandora, youtube, and other data consuming apps.
As for myself I only use MyWi sparingly. The most data I've ever used was 700MB twice when I went away on vacation. and was using Navigon a ton. I don't have nor do I expect to get any notice from AT&T.
"The most data I've ever used was 700MB twice when I went away on vacation. and was using Navigon a ton. I don't have nor do I expect to get any notice from AT&T."
Who knows, really. You might receive a notice if they're only looking at other devices used, rather than your total data usage.
I only use about 100MB with MyWi, and another 100MB directly from my iPhone, per month. But, if they see another device connected (as Ricky states above), then they might go ahead and assume that since we possess a tethering app, that we're equipped to possibly abuse their network some day. Why wait for that to happen, when they've already got us for violating our contracts... regardless of our low usage?
That's crazy! You should be allowed to use your allocated data download however you want... if you buy 4Gb and only you want to use 2Gb for your iPhone and 2Gb for your iPad then you should be allowed. I know I do that here in Australia... and our communications company doesn't seem to mind. AT&T should be ashamed at their blatant money grab.
I was one of the first round to get the email warning, called them and said I wasn't tethering. I stopped tethering to see what happens. And on march I reached 21.4 GB without using Mywi. I've been using podcaster a lot and Hulu plus. April so far I'm around 19GB. So far I haven't received any other warning. But if they change my plan, I would demand an end to my contract with no ETF. And go to Verizon.
This is BS. If you pay for unlimited it should be unlimited. I will not restrain myself on using my data or phone, just because they don't like I'm using what I'm paying for.
Here is what I think is happening. If you are tethering, they will no because of the websites they filter through the data tunnel and see most of them are not application data and not mobile sites.
like, NY Times from iPhone and Desktop/Laptop will attract data from different servers. But if you have enabled Tethering and accessing the cata from an iPad or iPhone, they can't distinguish as they know if is coming for an iOS device (many of them) or a mobile version.
I agree that, tethering on an unlimited plan should not have anything to do as long as AT&T can reduce the data speed drastically after 2-3GB usage.
I do not do tethering, but most of the times I have WiFi (hone and office) and rest on the road, I have work to do rather than watching netflix movie in middle.. My 8 months actual data usage is 80MB sent and 500MB received..all emails, sometimes videos (airvideo) and, news and stuff.
What else should I say. I want t save $15 by switching to limited 200MB/month plan now ... thanks for making me look at my data usage.
Clearly AT&T 's contract gives them the right to threaten tethering users. What amazes me is their willingness to generate horrible PR. I'm pretty confident that anyone who gets one of these notices will badmouth AT&T at any chance they get. Pissing off a paying customer is always dumb. And for the record, I nether jb nor tether.
I talked to ATT twice and they expressly told me that high data usage won't get you the warning, that the way the data is used is what pops up. What I want to know is, what about facebreak? If you're using facetime not on a wifi network would that show up the same way as tethering? I don't tether although I wish I could with an unlimited plan. However, I'm in the military, work 15 hour days and don't have access to wifi on base. Facetime is the only way I see my kid and I'm afraid to use it now.
I have never been so unfortunate as to have ever been in AT&T's presence....
I have been tethering for a very long time on Verizon and when I got my iPhone... the tethering still ensues. If I have unlimited... Well, that's what I am going to get out of the deal.
Forget all these dumbass analogies and company sucking up.... They nickel and dime you to your grave, so I will take advantage or "exploit" it whenever I can. The exploiters want to always stick it to the exploitees, but when the tables are turned...
I would imagine that AT&T is going to see a good loss in subscibers...
Nah. People will just complain on the tech blogs, and it will eventually die down.
The only question is...can they prove it? If they cannot prove that a users usage is specifically tethering than they are begging for a lawsuit.
Furthermore...there is nothing my ipad can do from a data standpoint that my iphone 4 can't do. They run the same OS and the same apps. EVERYTHING data intensive that my ipad will do (streaming, etc.) can be done thru my iphone on my unlimited data plan. Tethering an iphone to an ipad is simply using a bigger screen. IT uses no more data then the phone would. AT&T has no foot to stand on with people who tether this way.
Lastly this is a simple business model problem. If AT&T wants to fix the problem than they need to let their unlimited data plans expire. As long as folks are paying for data that equals "Whatever the heck i want cause its unlimited" they will never pay for more data. I think they are begging to be sued and will lose in court.
Can we all agree that we don't like the AT&T policy and move on? Let's take the discussion on to how to beat them at their game. PDAnet supposedly offers a way to tether undetected. Has anyone dug into this to learn how they are doing it? TIPB - an interview with the developer would be a good read.
The issue is that ATT is STUPID in the way that they are doing this. If they as a company want to introduce tethering and make it something that lots of folks will BUY thenthey need to do this:
- Announce that at the end of all current contracts the unlimited data plan will be no more.
- Announce a new pricing structure for data on Iphones that includes a. the current low data usage price, the current higher data usage price, and slightly more expensive mega data usage price that includes tethering.
The way they are doing it right now is adversarial to their customers. That is a STUPID BUSINESS PLAN.
You mean like T-Mobile, soon to be AT&T does?
I love T-Mobile! This is just another illustration of why I despise AT&T and never want to be their customer again.
Unlimited data is for use on the one smartphone device only. If you circumvent this it is stealing period.
Personally i think the whole system is a mess. True unlimited plans with tethering are not feasible as the potential data use could be huge and unsustainable. What we need is amsimple 1gb, 3gb, 5gb, 10gb plan structure and you pay for an amount of data and can use it as you want ie tethering included.
Actually, when I purchased my iPhone they were still offering unlimited data and Apple was marketing the phone as having tethering (although AT&T wasn't offering it yet). IMHO, this implies that you should be able to have both features and not have to drop the unlimited data.
They didn't say the tethering would be unlimited (and I'm not even saying it should be), I'm just saying I should be able to keep my unlimited data and add tethering to it.
I am switching to Verizon tomorrow...I no longer tether since I received AT&T letter in the mail a couple months ago, but I still use the Internet on my phone a lot!! AT&T says I am still tethering and is for ing me into their $45 plan next week against my will. This is not how you treat a customer that pays ove $200 every month for both cell phones and pays on time every month for the last several years. AT&T sucks
- I bet that the "waves" of notifications they send out were first directed to the newest users, who have the most to lose if they Early Terminate their own contracts.
- I'm not going to argue tethering right or wrong. However, I AM going to argue FORCING you into a new plan (and out of unlimited, if you have it). If they can prove you misused the data plan, then shut the DATA PLAN off until you call in to resolve the situation in some way. I'm sure they can send you a SMS or bump your web access to a server that explains the issue, similar to pw protected networks. Instead it's like BLACKMAIL, "hey you're tethering illegally, so uhh, we're going to modify your plan illegally, and you have no basis to argue". = SHAMEFUL = GREED = LIARS
- Dear #ATTfail, we all know you are doing this because your 4G network is too far away from use to pull the same "$20 Edge Data -> $30 3G Data" iPhone 1 -> iPhone 3g upgrade BULLSH1T that you think we have forgotten about.
- Dear #ATTfail, we ALSO know you are doing this NOW because you know we are all stuck with GSM iPhones, and can't just switch to Verizon in protest. I can't wait until Apple releases a single iPhone that works on all network technologies. We'll see how many customers you have then.
- Dear #ATTfail. Do you have any FRAKKING idea how many dozens of calls you drop every day for just ME??? Guess what, I haven't been saying anything because I don't want you to notice my high data use. If you come after me for tethering, whether I am or not, I'm coming after you for EVERY SINGLE ONE of those calls. I want my frakking money back. Frakking con artists!
- What if I use "User Agent Faker" (changes identity of iPhone Safari), and it's set to a DESKTOP version of Safari? (I hate mobile-only site interfaces). I bet that will raise some red flags and you'll be coming after me for "tethering" even if it's just a misleading Mobile Safari setting.
- Random #ATTfail complaint: How come I can tether up to 250k/s when doing a torrent, but if I shut that off and try to do a single web page on Mobile Safari your FRAKKING data network chokes on ONE page???
- Come on Apple, save us from the monster you have created.
I have to share this because I just got an email yesterday 5-03 and talk to the AT&T number n talk it to them ok I dnt tether a lot even do they got me an on 5-04 the txt me saying that I continue using tether when im not so I got pissed an call them again and told them that I was recording the call and told them I was doing it and ask for names and they transfer me to other people so I did the same told them I was recording the call for my protection...they said that I used tether on 5-01 and 5-02 and I told the guy so u r saying that I used!! And the guy say OH!! The system says that you try to use it on those dates when I didn't cause I was bussy with my personal life...anyways I want it to share what happened to me today I think they r just full of bs but can not recommend to use the tethering app good luck to all you people and if any one has more info share it so we can bust this stupid company I prolly change carriers just because they make me call them twice cause of their stupid bs
I just got this text today, indeed it seems like they are starting with the people who's contract expires first, because mine doesn't expire until January 2012, and it's been over a month since this second threat letter was sent.
AT&T has some terrible business practices, If anyone watched the recent hearings in the U.S. House of Rep. for discussions of the government allowing AT&T to buy ou T-mobile, AT&T is basically lying and saying that they can't (or really, don't want to) release 4G LTE unless they have a greater spectrum available (i.e. The spectrum already being used by T-Mobile). This is a complete lie, there is plenty of open spectrum in every city for 4G, they just don't want people to have access to an affordable carrier with GSM technology, which millions of current AT&T customers with GSM iphones would have gone to after escaping the slavery of AT&T.
They have become too powerful, and now they want to take away all of our rights. They were fine overcharging people $30/mo for internet when the iphone first came out, since most people barely used a couple hundred MB's, and I'm sure they were making huge profit off that price. Now that users actually get their moneys worth, for their 'unlimited' internet, AT&T has to try to put a stop to any form of fair value.
The problem isn't tethering, it's AT&T's greed! If you watched youtube videos all day, which you legally could do with your UNLIMITED internet, AT&T would still try to put a stop to it. So how is that any different if someone decides to port the same youtube videos to a larger screen for easier viewing, it's not! It's the same data a user has legally paid for, it's just displayed on a different screen. You could buy one of those iphone to tv adapters, and play youtube videos from your iphone to your tv, which is the same content if you run the iphone through a tv to a computer and then to the tv. AT&T are just nazis! They don't want their customers to have what they are entitled to.
I am seriously deciding to cancel my AT&T service, and going exclusively free wifi phone and text via google voice.
The real question is: Has anyone received the tethering warnings who has never tethered, but who uses large sums of 3g data? If so, AT&T can go to hell.
Oh yeah, and I forgot to ask: Was tethering even mentioned in the original unlimited contract? I dont recall it saying anything about it. I think they modified the policy after tethering became popular.
I'm not even sure I was given a printed copy of the contract I signed, that should be illegal for them to not provide that. I want to see the physical piece of paper I signed which says that tethering is not allowed. And if that's the case, then whatever, they can rape me some more, but I guarantee they will never get my business again.
Technology is supposed to drive prices down in everything over time, in theory; but in practice, communication companies continue to charge higher prices for slower and older service, and it's a joke! AT&T needs to stop worrying about raping their reliable customers who use the older service, and should instead focus on providing a blazing fast service for customers who are willing to pay top dollar for the latest and greatest.
I received the email last month and I told them I would stop. I had no intentions of stopping. Just got the text a few days ago saying that they are going to change my plan because I am still tethering. I just cancelled them. Sold my iPhone for $300 and went to Sprint. They offer unlimited tethering for $30. I use about 20-30 gigs a month so this is a great plan. AT&T can suck it. Plus I am loving the HTC EVO's 4.3" display.
That is correct, ATT have been making us buy ulimited data plans for years, when smartphones were just useless because there were no
services to use. Now that there is something actually you can use your phone for, they have a change of heart and want to charge you for usage. This is supposed to be better for the user. How stupid do they think we are! Does ATT believe that just because we are Amerians they
have a right to rob us.
We should all just move to sprint now that they've got the iPhone. You can even get a mobile wifi service with a new company called Clear. I've seen them at frys. With this service from Clear, you would go back to a regular old cell phone with Att or whoever. Take that sim card out and put it into your iPhone for the cell service and use the mobile wifi for all data. It cost about 45. A mo. Unlimited. Up to 5 devices, 4g speeds. Works grate in LA county.
After 4yrs of Unlimited service paid to ATT, still my usage never goes beyond 1gb. Recent month I tethered using MYWI, the usage is very limited only 3 to 4hours. Though the total usage it came 2.7gb. Today I got a text message as a first warning. In my case I never used much tethering still I got this message and it is very upset to me.
After years and years ATT charged unlimited for nothing finally putting limits when you really wants to use.
Let us move out of ATT or Bring a law-suite.. !
Heres how to hide your mywi tethering usage:
- ssh into your iphone
- su (enter password when prompted)
- ifconfig
- record the ip address for interface pdp_ip0
***it should look like this: inet xx.xx.xx.xx --> xx.xx.xx.xx netmask 0xffffffff
***where xx.xx.xx.xx is your at&t 10.x.x.x ip address
- type ifconfig pdp_ip0 xx.xx.xx.xx netmask 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 then hit enter
***you must use the same ip address you recorded otherwise you will lose connection.
- ifconfig again
***now it should look like this: inet xx.xx.xx.xx --> 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff
all data requested from the device are now sent to the phones internal loopback and termiate at the phone.
I have tested this and now my computer browser opens only mobile webpages. I have tethered for over a month now without an automated text from AT&T saying they were going to change my plan automatically.
***note: you will also see:
lo0 - Loopback
en0 - wifi
en1 - usb-ethernet
....pdpip1, pdpip2, pdp_ip3
I'm pretty sure these pdp_ip# interfaces are used for tower to tower hand-off when your moving and you will mostlikely get a new 10.x.x.x address from at&t when you switch towers far enough away from your areas subnet. (I have not tested this, I only tether when I am stationary, so i may be wrong)
iPhone 3G Data Features
Data Plan for iPhone (To expire on 08/18/2011 )
$30.00 N/A Unlimited Current
DataPro 4GB for iPhone (Eff 08/18/2011 )
$45.00 N/A 4GB Current
This is what I saw on the account today. PLEASE let's file the lawsuit since they advertise is unlimited data and then they want to force me to a 4GB plan. I stated downloading a movie to my laptop and then notice that they are intending to change my plan, I am going to Verizon now screw ATT they really suck now! UNLIMITED with limits??? hello!!???
I just got off the phone with AT&T, hour long call, I was able to get 'some' information on how they are detecting it. he was very good at running around the question of how it is done but i was able to get him a little frustrated and he slipped in his words a bit.
Where the Data Services Manager slipped was when he told me that the data coming back into the phone was 'not terminating' at the device. when I asked him to confirm what he said he wouldn't, I would like to assume his silence is confirmation, hence this post.
They would be able to it by the MAC or IP of the device with minimal effort they would still have to sniff the packets to get its src and dst of the packet coming back to the device and it does carry some information on where the data came from(which site or service you are accessing).
I am no programmer or hacker but i have networking experience. Question to you who are programmers and hackers:
is there a way to spoof the phones mac address and create some kind of loopback routing which if the data is looped then it is sent to the additional device, almost like using a loopback address/interface on a router, where if the destination is not found on that network it automatically gets sent to the loopback and/or bit bucket this way the data would appear to have terminated at the device.
Just an Idea.
I'll say it again i'm not a programmer or hacker.
im with yall it was fine until now...iv been paying for unlimited data since iphone been out and now they want to take it away just beacuse i start to use unlimited data. what a rip off
What's funny is you all are practically completely off on how att is detecting this. I'm an att business data support floor support. Aka the guy you get the exquisite pleasure of yelling at and attempting to lie to. Basically here is how it breaks down. You buy yourself a nice new iPhone. Put yourself a nice new jailbreak on that bad boy and decide I want to tether without being limited to how much data I'm using. Fine and dandy. Section 6.2 of that wireless service agreement / contract you signed and probably never read prohibits tethering without a tethering data plan. Also in the contract if I remember correctly there is language that states att is able to change your rate/features without notice (double check that). So the fact that we are giving you two warnings before migrating your data plan is kindness. You can call and say your not tethering but honestly when that third notification rolls around you lose your unlimited data plan and under no circumstance are allowed or even able to put that plan back on. So when you get the first or second just stop tethering. Admit to it and stop and you won't lose it simple as that. Please and thank you for being a valuable part of AT&T. :)
I think it's dead wrong. I've experienced this issue as well. I'm on the unlimited deal. I received at text and an email claiming they were going to slow my connection because I'm in the top 5% of high data usage. I have never tethered. The only reason I'm using more data is because I relocated and cable hasn't been installed yet. I called AT&T and complained about it.
I've been paying for unlimited data for 4 years and they are accusing me of the same thing. Good bye AT&T and Hello Sprint now that you have the 4S I'm done with AT&T
What is really funny, is when it is all said and done, no me (customer), no you (corporate slave). I have the two messages you refer to, AT&T can "Update" my account if you like, but with the same stroke of that key you CANCEL IT (no retention desk please) I have fulfilled my 2 year obligation, we're done anyway. A special thanks to you Sinnedangel for the encouraging words that helped me decide to depart.

By Air Force Staff Sgt. David SalanitriSecretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON, July 18, 2013 Airmen who commit sexual assaults will be discharged, and senior commanders must review actions taken on sexual assault cases under new Air Force initiatives that took effect recently.
Air Force Capt. Allison DeVito, chief of victim issues and policy branch for the Air Force judge advocate general, said both recent changes are part of the Air Force's initiative to combat sexual assault and to foster mutual respect and dignity among airmen.
When combined with existing programs, the Air Force's efforts to end sexual assault and support those who report it have been increasing significantly throughout the past year, DeVito said. At the same time, she added, the Air Force is experiencing a surge in its prosecution rates for sexual assault, reflecting results similar to those in the other services.
As of July 2, commanders must initiate administrative discharge processing for any airman -- officer or enlisted -- found to have committed a sexual assault offense after completing any disciplinary action.
This new requirement, which covers a wide range of sex offenses, is triggered by a finding that the airman committed the offense, DeVito said.
Once a commander has information alleging that an airman has committed a sexual assault offense, the commander must promptly refer the case to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. If the commander believes that the evidence uncovered in the investigation substantiates the allegation, then the commander will take appropriate criminal or administrative action, and following that, must process the offender for administrative discharge, she explained.
In addition to the recent policy change, DeVito said, a new provision explicitly states that an airman who engaged in an unprofessional relationship while serving in a special position of trust -- such as a recruiter or military training instructor -- also is subject to administrative discharge. Airmen who are involuntarily separated from the Air Force under these provisions may receive a discharge under "other than honorable" conditions, DeVito said.
Another change to the discharge process requires that airmen be advised of their right to request review by a general officer. The case can be reviewed if an airman believes the commander's recommendation for involuntary separation was initiated in retaliation for having made an unrestricted report of a sexual assault within the previous 12 months.
This change eliminates the perception that an airman who reports a sexual assault may be subject to discharge simply for reporting, DeVito said.
In addition, a June 27 directive issued by the undersecretary of the Air Force directed that any commander who makes a disciplinary decision regarding an airman who commits a sexual assault must report that decision to the servicing general court-martial convening authority, a general officer, who then will review the intended disposition and take any further action deemed appropriate.
This change also requires that the general court-martial convening authority must review the case and its disposition after all disciplinary and administrative action is completed and must report the actions taken in the case to AFOSI in writing. Upon receipt of this report of command action, AFOSI will close out the investigative file by attaching a copy of the report of command action to the case file.
DeVito said that, to date, 369 service members, of which are mostly airmen, have received legal services from an Air Force special victims counsel. The SVCs attend interviews by AFOSI, the prosecution and defense counsel. They also attend trials with the victim-client, assisting victims in obtaining expedited transfers, and helping victims receive military protective orders to ensure the assailant does not contact the victim except as needed to prepare for trial. The Air Force is the only service providing SVCs to service members, DeVito said.
"Sexual assault has no place in our Air Force," said Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, Air Force chief of staff. "We live in a culture of respect. We cherish our core values of integrity, service, and excellence. But in order to ensure all airmen experience and benefit from those values, we must eliminate sexual assault in our ranks."

CRESTVIEW — The numbers were down at this year's Crestview Parks and Recreation Department volleyball camp. The camp, held at Twin Hills Park last week, had just four participants.
However, Kelly Buckelew — a former University of Alabama-Birmingham player who led the camp a third consecutive year — found something positive in the low turnout.
"In some ways it's better for them because they get more attention to detail," she said. "But it would be nice to have a few more (participants) when we try to scrimmage.
"But three-on-three is great for teaching movement — moving to the ball and that type of thing."
Buckelew was pleased with the campers' enthusiasm and work, noting that most hoped to make their middle school team.
The camp focused on every aspect of the game.
"The main thing we worked on every day was passing, because you have to be able to pass," Buckelew said. "But we worked on all the skills. Today, the fourth day, we worked on blocking and dinking.
"At this level, they are not very good at it (dinking). They need to know to get their hands out of the net and how to jump."
The week's first part focused on passing, serving and setting. As time progressed, the players added blocking and dinking.
"We've done the little things, the dinks, the blocking," Buckelew said. "I say little things, but those are all part of the game. We've covered just about every skill."
Although most local middle school and high schools have an established volleyball program, Buckelew believes the sport is just now catching on as more than a recreational game.
"It's an upcoming sport here in the Panhandle," she said. "It's been around forever, but it hasn't gotten real big here until the last three or four or five years, maybe."
Having more open gyms for volleyball would increase the sport's popularity, she said.
However, moms and dads ultimately have the key to building a stronger volleyball base, she said.
"I think the parents have to buy into it," Buckelew said. "They have to be supportive."

FORT WALTON BEACH — Okaloosa County commissioners have agreed to help Sheriff Larry Ashley fill vacancies created when he pulled 26 deputies from other units and placed them in local elementary schools.
The board voted unanimously Tuesday to provide the Sheriff's Office with up to $44,200 on a month-to-month basis as needed. As he fills the slots, Ashley must formally request the money, which will be pulled from the county's general fund reserves.
Ashley placed deputies in every school following the Dec. 14 shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
See a photo gallery of a resource officer on duty.
On Jan. 8, Ashley requested that commissioners contribute $265,000 — or at least commit to the idea of the funding — to help replenish the force.
The request initially rankled a few commissioners, who labeled it a knee-jerk and costly decision. On Tuesday, only Commission Chairman Don Amunds and Commissioner Dave Parisot continued to question the need for the funding.
Commissioner Kelly Windes said it was risky to operate the Sheriff's Office with fewer deputies on the street.
"I agree with the sheriff," Windes said. "My concern is partly the void on the street that we're creating when we take these officers and put them in the schools. We can't let the whole suffer because of the special needs that have just come up."
Windes said "the stakes are too high" for the county not to make the funding of school resource officers a priority.
Commissioner Wayne Harris agreed, adding that "public safety and security is paramount."
Parisot questioned whether the Sheriff's Office must fill every position it has vacated. He suggested it could do without a marine unit or operate with reduced courthouse security.
He also noted that county reserves had been decreased "well below" his comfort level and that Okaloosa might need the reserves to get through a weather emergency.
Although Parisot wanted the board to take more time to study the issue, he eventually agreed to provide Ashley with up to $44,200 as needed on a monthly basis.
Ashley told commissioners he is in the best position to know how many deputies he needs to protect the county.
"It gets down to, 'Do you trust me?' " he said. "Do you trust me to give you the right numbers? I know the previous sheriff has certainly made our county a very difficult place to operate."
Ashley said all the units from which he pulled deputies are essential services. Because of the manpower shift, the Sheriff's Office is operating without a street crimes unit, beach and marine patrol and a traffic enforcement unit. The areas of civil processing, court security, and detention and booking have been significantly reduced.
Keeping deputies in all of the district's schools will cost an estimated $3.5 million a year.
Commissioners agreed that would be a main point of discussion during 2014 budget deliberations in the spring and summer.

The proposed Yadkin County Agricultural Center became a little more real at the Nov. 19 Yadkin County Commissioners Meeting.
The board of commissioners shared the digital renderings of what the proposed site would like if built in the area behind the Surry Community College Yadkin Center off Highway 601.
The center will feature eight classrooms, a cafeteria for Surry Community College and Yadkin Early College students, two to three administrative offices and two multi-use rooms on the lower level.
The upper level of the building will feature a separate entrance from Highway 601, offices for Soil and Water, Natural Resources Conservation Services, NC Cooperative Extension and NC Forestry. It will also feature a 304 capacity banquet hall that can be partitioned to 1/3 or 2/3 its size, a commercial kitchen and a demonstration kitchen.
County Manager Aaron Church estimates that the facility will be 35,000 square feet. It is estimated that the facility will cost approximately $135 to $200 per square foot, which would come to a total of $4 million to $7 million to complete the facility if these calculations are accurate.
"This is very preliminary," Church said. "The cost will vary based on price per square foot."
Austin said that he, Commissioner Gilbert Hemric and Church made a presentation to the Surry Community College Board of Trustees presenting the renderings and explaining the purpose of the facility and the goals of the county. Austin said that he encourage the board to begin setting a capital campaign in motion on behalf of the school.
Austin said that the county will also build its own capital campaign since the facility will also house county agricultural offices. He said that the county has received commitments of $100,000 from the Tobacco Trust Fun Commission, $50,000 from Yadkin County Farm Bureau and $28,000 from the Dairymen's Organization.
"It's a great way for the community college to get to know our farmers and set that relationship in motion," Austin said.
The other commissioners showed excitement and encouragement for the facility and the progress it is making.
"We want to make sure we this taken care of so our farmers don't have to travel outside of the county or to great distances to do their crop reporting or continuing education," Commissioner David Moxley said. "This is going to be a great addition to our county not only for our farmers but also for our schools and our community."
Other topics from the meeting:
-The board set a public hearing for Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. to consider proposed text amendments to the Yadkin county zoning ordinance in regards to temporary uses as it pertains to movie sets, allowing small scale auto sales as a conditional use in the RA district, allowing small scale restaurants in conjunction with horse show/riding facilities, allowing for solar panel farms as a conditional use, reducing the number of allowable junk vehicles on a property from six to three and providing civil penalties in the amount of $50 per zoning violation.
-The board voted unanimously in favor of approving a change order for the Yadkin County Jail construction. The change order requested an additional $22,763 in order to replace unsuitable soil with flowable fill, to correct a math error, for revisions to the storm drain and sanitary discharge, to change the ceiling heights and to change security hollow metal mullions and plate at the top of dayroom frames to impact resistant drywall. According to the change order, there will be no change to the contract amount and the cost of the change order will come out of the contingency allowance included in the contract. The balance remaining in contingency after this change order will be $47,608.65.
-The board voted unanimously in favor of approving the project ordinance for the Yadkin-Elkin Manufacturing Career Initiative New Generations grant. The New Generations grant from the North Carolina Rural Center awarded Yadkin County and Elkin a joint grant for $100,000 to assist in keeping residents between the ages of 18 and 30 in the area. Yadkin County and Elkin had to match the grant with $5,000, which they split for a total of $2,500 for each location. The project ordinance shows an allotment of $43,680 for training fees, $25,000 for classified advertising and marketing and $36,320 for meeting and conference expenses and travel. The grant money is going to focus on making the 18 to 30 age group aware of the manufacturing jobs in the Yadkin County and Elkin area and assisting them in training and preparation for those jobs. This will be a collaborative effort between Elkin, Yadkin County, Surry Community College and the SCC-Yadkin Center.
-The board voted unanimously to appoint Resha Peregrino-Brimah to the previously vacant alternate position on the Planning Board. Brimah is an East Bend resident.

Things I liked:This is my first GBB gun and I think it can't get better: Its robust, well bilt, havy, shoots 370fps out of the box and the magazine capacity is upgraded to 24 BBs
Things I would have changed:I upgraded the original plastic outer barrel to metal, and installed a 150% guarder recoil spring. The modification turned the gun more robust and the cocking experience sounds even more like the real metal sound.
What others should know:Install a small o-ring around the magazine valve to prevent propane leak while filling the mag.
Things I liked:This is a nice M1911 replica. Has a single sided safety like my .45ACP version. If you desire a M1911 trainer this pistol will mostly work. The pistol is single action with a nice crisp trigger and mine hits can-sized targets at 50 feet without using a rest. Magazine capacity is twice what the M1911 holds -- but still pretty light compared to double stack pistols.
Things I would have changed:The slide lock does not disengage when pulling the slide to the rear and releasing it. A serious defect I'm still try to solve. You have to use the slide stop as a slide release to close from slide lock. The frame safety needs to be tightened, it's to easy to engage or safe. I dislike the Kimberisk ramp-style rear sight and full length recoil spring guide but they're harmless on an airsoft pistol. All five of my KWA 1911 Mark magazines leak massive quantities of gas during loading. Aftermarket O-rings may cure this.
What others should know:Read all the details on what Mark has what details. The Mark 2 and 4 have light rails; the 3 and 4 Bull barrels; and there are various combinations of ambidextrous safeties and recoil spring guides.

This week, readers are looking to make their couponing lives a little easier. What if you had a crystal ball that showed which weeks multiple coupon inserts would come in the newspaper? Or a shopping guide that reveals which stores in your area have the best prices on what you want to buy this week? Fortunately, websites that do all of the above actually exist. Here are a few of my favorites:
Q: I was wondering which websites are best to check out the coupon inserts before they appear in the newspaper?
A: At the beginning of each year, the three major coupon insert providers — NewsAmerica's SmartSource, Valassis' RedPlum and Procter & Gamble's Brandcaster — publish a schedule of which weeks coupon inserts will appear in the paper. There are a few weeks in a year that we don't have any. Browsing these insert schedules will let you know which weeks to expect coupons. See the schedule on my blog at www.jillcataldo.com/2013schedule.
Q: Why are there no coupons in the newspaper the week of a holiday?
A: We typically don't see coupon inserts in the newspaper during a week in which there's a national holiday because of leftovers! Think about what we do when a holiday is approaching. We buy lots of food, entertain, feed our families and then ... ? We've got a fridge full of leftovers. The number of people hitting the supermarket drops significantly during the days after a holiday, as people are typically eating leftover food and not shopping as much.
This reader's looking for a shopping tool to help her find out which stores have the best deals on what she wants to buy — all before she leaves the house.
Q: Is there an app or other tool for comparing product prices? I shop at three different stores and would love to know who has the best prices.
A: All You magazine, which is a coupon magazine, maintains a great tool on its website called the Grocery Circular Roundup. Find it at www.allyou.com/static/weekly-circulars.
To use the Roundup, click the tab that says "Search By Item." Type in what you're looking for and the Roundup will return a list of stores in your area, showing the prices at each store. Find the store with the best price and add it to your shopping list. You can even print your completed list from the site. Best part? The Grocery Circular Roundup is free to use.

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries' Charlie Bewley's Comments About Elena Anger Fans
There was a glimpse of Galen Vaughn in The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 13, "Into the Wild," but he'll be all up in Damon's (Ian Somerhalder) business in the next episode. Charlie Bewley spoke with Alloy Entertainment about his character and the show's love triangle.
Obviously, as part of the Twilight Saga, Charlie is no stranger to vamps, and he misses some of their supernatural powers playing a member of the Five on TVD. "Vaughn is like Bear Grylls on a vengeance mission — and everyone loves Bear. But Bear can't fly," says Charlie.
When asked about the show's love triangle — between Stefan (Paul Wesley), Elena (Nina Dobrev), and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) — Charlie admitted fans probably don't want to hear his opinion. "I cannot believe these two brothers toss around a girl they supposedly love, neither can I believe that Elena willfully hops into bed with one after the next, and back. Sire bond is no excuse," he said.
That was enough to get some angry tweets defending Elena, but it was Charlie's response on Twitter that really upset people:
I was asked to say something about the triangle and that's the funniest thing I could think up. Sorry if I offended any sluts out there.— Charlie Bewley (@alchemission) February 13, 2013
"What Charlie Bewley said about the love triangle and Elena was absolutely true. It was his response tweet to fans that was inappropriate," one fan tweeted.
Back in November, after Elena and Damon had sex right after her breakup with Stefan, executive producer Julie Plec reminded everyone in an interview with Zap2It that they are fictional characters, saying, "In the real world, would it happen that quickly? Maybe not. But I do think that the punctuation on the breakup is her finally giving in to these feelings for Damon, and then to raise the question of 'Oh, God. Is that what she really felt or is it all part of the supernatural link between them?'"
There's much more to Charlie's interview at Alloy Entertainment, including him gushing about Ian Somerhalder and Joseph Morgan (Klaus).

I don't see any iPad 1 wifi 16GB on there.
Refurb iPads get $20 - $30 price cuts - original 16 GB iPad now $279
Refurbished iPad 2 and original iPad models sold through Apple have had their prices cut by between $20 and $50 recently. Here's the new breakdown.
iPad 2
- 16 GB Wi-Fi: $319, down $30 from $349
- 32 GB Wi-Fi: $399, down $50 from $449
64 GB Wi-Fi: $499, down $50 from $449
16 GB Wi-Fi+3G: $449, down $30 from $479
- 32 GB Wi-Fi+3G: $529, down $50 from $579
- 64 GB Wi-Fi+3G: $629, down $50 from $679
Original iPad
- 16 GB Wi-Fi: $279, down $20 from $299
- 32 GB Wi-Fi: $349, down $50 from $399
64 GB Wi-Fi: $449, down $50 from $499
16 GB Wi-Fi+3G: $379, down $20 from $399
- 32 GB Wi-Fi+3G: $449, down $50 from $499
- 64 GB Wi-Fi+3G: $549, down $50 from $599
So, for the cost of a brand-spanking-new Retina iPad, you could get a gently-loved iPad 2 with four times the storage and possibly a lot more battery life. These are solid price cuts, but unless you're already heavily invested in the iOS ecosystem with apps, music, movies, or books, I'm unconvinced that a first-gen refurbished iPad is worth $80 more than the Kindle Fire or BlackBerry PlayBook. What do you guys think? Could you find a use for a cheap original iPad, or is it even worth the trouble at this point? If you're interested in picking up one of the recently-discounted iPads, you can pick 'em up over here.

Refurb iPads get $20 - $30 price cuts - original 16 GB iPad now $279
Nvmd, just hit refresh a bunch of times and it finally popped up. Just ordered one for mi madre. Happy Mothers Day!
Original ipad all the way over the playbook thats for sure. The playbook is still an overpriced paper weight if you ask me. Without the access to the variety of apps that the appstore offers, its a waste of money. Yes iPad 1 is slower and resolution may not be up to par with the playbook nor does it have a camera but for education purposes, every day apps that don't require fast processor speeds or retina display, its far more advanced than the playbook. Don't know much about the kindle fire so I can't comment but screen size alone on the iPad is a great selling point. Not to mention the ability to Jailbreak.
I maintain that for everyone other than those that have the utmost desire to be on the bleeding edge of technology, the new iPad is such a minor upgrade over the Gen 2 that it is not worth the extra money. A much better feature set would be needed other than a better screen and minimal memory upgrade to compel me to fork over the extra dough. If I thought my wife would use it, I would get her a refurb iPad 2 with lots of memory. I sadly got the 64GB+4G new iPad and realized I could have saved a few Benjamins and been just as happy with the performance.
Well, there's no way I can tell you what's right for yourself or your family but I wouldn't just judge the iPad by what it can do now as compared to the previous model. It's got another ten months before the new model comes out and hopefully much longer before it's obsolete.
Many apps could be created (or discovered by you) in that time, which require more memory or processing power or a better camera or whatever and you will be one iterative cycle ahead of the game. And it only cost an extra hundred dollars for that convenience and "security."
Of course, one hundred bills is not chump change, exactly, but when one misses out on twice the storage or built-in data or more memory or ... for just one hundred dollars, it can feel like an error in judgement - especially a year later.
iPad or Kindle? Original iPad totally worth the cost. I'm still using my original iPad (16GB plus 3G). A way to look at this: Would I exchange this old iPad for a Kindle plus $179 cash back? Not a chance. Then instead of a great, capable, amazing general purpose machine, I'd just have some cash and a Kindle. What good would that be?
The original ipadnis still a nice device for that price. My dad just bought a used iPad 1 from another site he gor the 64 gig 3G model for $249. He's the type to download 2 apps and surf the web so it will be perfect for him since there's no need for high end games or apps. We also got him set up with a 4s recently so he's got a great camera available and the original iPad will make viewing those pics a nice experience.
I respect your opinion and all, but as someone who owns a Fire, Playbook, and iPad 1, I'm astonished at your assertion that the first gen iPad is in some way inferior to either of those devices. The Fire is underpowered, the UI is a little Kindle-centric to say the least, and the apps available for it make it feel less like a tablet and more like a color Kindle. The Playbook is nice and totally adequate for entertainment content playback, but unless you can take advantage of the persistence between the tablet and your Blackberry phone, there's little that makes it hold a candle to what you can do with an iPad 1 and the App Store.
Care to explain your position? I'm genuinely curious.
must have sold very quickly- can't find 16 GB Wi-Fi: $319, only with 3G for 449
