[Ovmsdev] What Cellular Provider, and how much are you paying (US$)

[William Petefish]

1) USA
2)ATT
3)ATT Tablet 250mb plan
4)I don't remember
5)$20/month for 250mb, $0.10 per text message
6)Long term viable. I think that they will have this in the future.
7)Great deal, Esp. for prototyping and development.
