I do not understand why you changed the messaging because a lot of people do not text that often and do not need to upgrade their plans and if anyone wanted to have a lower rate plans their is a lot of peole that would just cancel their plans because of this

I still hold an old AllTell contract for my data usage. I assume I always will. The contract clearly states the expected internet speeds, and that it is truly unlimited usage. I wander how they are going to mess me over on that one.
Since Verizon bought out Alltell I have been one unhappy customer.

All I have to say is I’m disappointed in Verizon.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who ditched AT&T
For the promise of a better network and got “throttled”
That is a chicken shit way to treat customers,

OK. I got the call too and I’m T-Mobile. Anyway, if Sprint knows what’s going on, why don’t they do something about it?

The reason they did it is that the Apple’s iOS5 , which came out yesterday, uses the data plan to send most text messages so you don’t get charged for them. ATT knew this would lead to people dropping their $10 plan for the $5 so they eliminate all but the $20. I realized this when I downloaded iOS5 this morning, and then called ATT to drop my messaging to the $5 plan and was told they only had the $20 now.

What AT&T is doing is very sneaky. I had the unlimited plan, but AT&T automatically changed it to the unlimited messaging plan with unlimited mobile to mobile, and sent me an email. While comparing the 2 plans ( understanding that businesses are in business to make as profit as possible), one thing seemed very different between the plans. The old $30 plan included unlimited incoming texts from international numbers, while the new One is limited to texts within their coverage area….very sneaky, given that there are very many international students in this country. I’m sure that’s an important detail to them. Of course I immediately switched back to my original plan before my “grandfather” option expired.

I think this is ridiculous. I’ve had Captivate for almost a year. I was intimidated by smartphones and didn’t like the texting, but I adore this phone and wouldn’t want an upgrade at this point. The whole unlimited messaged though is terrible. Why should everyone signing up from that point on be forced to choose unlimited? I had the 15,000msgs for $15 which was perfect. I traveled alot late summer and used my Data and Msng alot. That was my only overage on either of the two, but I was using GPS and internet alot, plus texting the people I knew in the area I was traveling through. So now I find I’m stuck with unlimited, forced to have unlimited when I don’t need anything close to that now! I’m not happy about this and I’m starting to think about cancelling my service with ATT to prove a point.

Comment on AT&T Wireless: Additional Charges for “new” Customers by Jim Baldassini

AT & T this month added a $9.99 “subscription fee” among its 8 page bill.
The bill was from some outfit called “Love Genie”.

When I called to complain that I never authorized any such fee, they said I must given my number to someone. They don’t admit that they probably get 50% or 60% of the fee and ,hence, are partners in this ripoff.

They took it off the bill but it shows you how eager they are to rip off people who don’t spend the time to comb through their bills.
