I didn't intend to be sour. The 7230 is offered by PC mobile – so maybe that is why it worked fine.

I cancelled my plan with them now though, even though they advised me not to (I'd been with them 2+ years, so had unlimited mobile web for $5/mo). I'll be with another service provider until they patch up their data services and then will change back if their offering is better than what I currently have.

I asked customer support if they had any intentions to add data and the rep told me he didn't know. *shrugs* We'll see.

Right now, getting unlimited messaging (+ pic + vid) and 250 mb data for $20 / month (it's unlimited for 2 months tho) on a prepaid provider, so I'm paying exactly the same as I was with PC mobile. Had unl't'd text ($10), pic + vid ($5), and web ($5). So… Idk. It's a decent trade off I think.
