Bitten by the ATT data bug

I was caught unaware, unprepared and without guard when it bit me.
Yes, today I was bitten by a huge bill of 120$ of data charge for 12,000KB of data for my ATT wireless phone service. So thats roughly a penny per kilobyte which is one of the costliest KB that I have ever paid for in my life.
Probably my new phone N85 should have connected to the internet without my knowledge during the initial days of buying it.
If you don’t intend to use data over wireless please call your provider immediately and block/opt-out of it A.S.A.P because one day or the other you will be bitten by this bug and it will be painful.
BTW my friends have warned me about this for a some time but I didn’t care about it much but today I feel the pain.
You have been warned !!!!!
BTW this wouldn’t happen in India because data plans are too cheap then here.
Universal Mobile chargers finally..
CNET news reported that the International Telecommunication Union a branch of UN has decided to go for universal mobile phone chargers.
In a world where each mobile phone from same manufacture have different chargers working this is a welcoming sign.
I also hope ITU gets in to and standardize the chargers for all portable devices as well. I’m tired of carrying individual chargers for my mobile, Blue Tooth headset and mp3 player. If we can standardize the laptop chargers that will be awesome too..
The only reason I’m worried is it wont happen soon enough. Since this is something driven by a branch of UN and we all know how long it would take for all countries to accept these protocols. Lets hope all the manufactures fall in line and accept it soon…
At least I’m happy that some where in distant future that there will less chargers lying around in my house.
