Mobilicity announced a new promotion this week which gives subscribers free "social data" on their cheaper voice and text plans and free data on their more expensive $45 a month plan.

Details of the data promotion are as follows:

On the $25 Plan - In addition to the regular voice and text plan, subscribers receive Unlimited social network access to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Google+ and LinkedIn along with Unlimited Instant Messaging through Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ and Whatsapp.
On the $35 Plan - Subscribers receive the social data add-on that comes with the $25 plan plus unlimited email access through Gmail, Hotmail and MS Exchange.
On the $45 Plan - Subscribers receive the $10 a month unlimited data add-on at no additional charge.
Unlimited social network access to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Google+ and LinkedIn along with Unlimited Instant Messaging through Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ and Whatsapp.

The company also introduced a new port-in credit promotion of $50. Consumers who port their existing phone number to Mobilicity and register for pre-authorized credit card payment will receive $10 credits over five months.

Does the term "data" apply to a web page that streams video?
I'm confused by the usage of the "social networking, web mail and so on"
Or would that be the "unlimited data" add on for $10?

There has been a great deal of discussion (read that ranting and raving!) over at another forum.

Apparently a lot of folks are unhappy with Mobilicity capping speeds, throttling certain downloads and other similar activities.

It might be worth a bit of research on these issues as it can make a big difference if you are even a moderate user of data.
