Thanks for setting things straight. So, you have not encountered the data charges patrickj mentioned in the earlier post?

"But ... just my recollection here, but I thought the place where AT&T does come into it is that their data rates (in the fine print) cover certain specific sorts of acceptable traffic - web browsing, consumer type email for example (POP< IMAP etc).

Exchange sync uses different protocols - been a while, can't recall which (RPC over HTTPS maybe, plus some used in maintaining heartbeat with the Exchange server). AT&T can see the different traffic types and slap data overage charges on for traffic that is not within the accepted data types."
