Dunno. I'm not an AT&T Wireless customer.

To my thinking, unless you're a big Pandora fan, why pay the extra money for it. If you already have an unlimited data plan for whatever reason(s), there are just too many free online wireless choices out there already, such as:

If you have an mp3 player/streamer on your mobile device:

I use www.TalkStreamLive.mobi on my smartphone.

Not as big a selection as Tuned but it tells you what Talk Show is on and is easer to use while driving.
