 Smartphone Savings Plans - Cellphone plans are becoming debt obligations to consumers. Apple's iPhone and Motorola's Droid. In addition to choosing among a panoply of voice and text plans, users must contend with data plans to access the Web and all those apps.
In the past few weeks, AT&T did away with its $30-a-month unlimited-data plan and began requiring new smartphone subscribers to choose one of two new data plans. That move is expected to be copied by other carriers in the coming months, meaning that consumers may either have to pay for much more capacity than they really need or be much more vigilant about monitoring their phone use.
