From what I understand, the $40 PDA plan gives you unlimited access to both wap.cingular and isp.cingular.
MediaNet $25 plan only gives you unlimited access to wap.cingular.

Most likely if you change your settings to use isp.cingular, it simply won't work. If it does, then NO, you won't get automatically switched to the $45 PDA plan. Instead they'll charge you pay per use at $0.01 per KB ($10 per MB, very expensive) for every KB you download on isp.cingular.

I have the old $20 MediaWorks w/ unlimited data (can't get it anymore) which is basicaly identical to the $25 MediaNet plan and isp.cingular simply doesn't work for me. I could call them and ask them to add 'data connect pay per use' (aka isp.cingular) to my account and get charged per KB on isp.cingular and still have unlimited usage of wap.cingular.
But that would be just crazy, I'd be better off just upgrading to the PDA plan for unlimited usage of both for $20/month rather than $20 for 2MB via pay per use.
