AT&T Cingular Wireless Data Plans Overview

HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access)

AT&T is deploying this high speed wireless data technology throughout the United States. It provides users with downlink speeds of 400 – 700 Kbps with bursts to more than 1 Mbps. Aside from its speed, one of the principal advantages of this technology is that it allows simultaneous voice and data traffic, which enables customers to have a conversation with someone at the same time that their wireless device is downloading a file. If customers leave an HSDPA coverage area, they automatically transition onto AT&T’s EDGE network, which is the largest national high speed wireless data network, and which still enables fast download speeds.

Cingular MEdia Net

MEdia Net provides wireless Internet access to a customer’s wireless device. It lets users check e-mail, send/receive instant messages, get ringtones, games, graphics and useful tools, plus keep on top of news, sports, weather, travel, entertainment and more. MEdia Net is available on most AT&T GSM phones.

Cingular Video

With Cingular Video, customers can watch video clips of news, sports, weather, entertainment, including HBO Mobile and TV to Go. The service is available for compatible phones where 3G service is available.
