Cingular Offers Unlimited EDGE/WiFi Data Plan

Cingular Wireless announced the first national unlimited EDGE/WiFi data plan. Cingular customers can now receive unlimited high-speed data connections at nearly 4,000 WiFi hotspots or when accessing the company's expanded EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution) coverage area - domestically and internationally.


When using a laptop and EDGE PC modem card, customers can receive average data speeds up to 135kbps with bursts to 200kbps.


The WiFi connections are provided through agreements with SBC companies, Wayport, Concourse Communications, StayOnline and through its owned-and-operated WiFi networks.


Customers who want unlimited access to both WiFi and EDGE services can select a monthly plan for $99.98 ($79.99 EDGE + $19.99 WiFi).
