What is the incentive for staying with this ATT&T?
I have been using AT&T since it was once Cingulair. And I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. So I never mind paying a little more to get better service with you my plans. But now my two year contract is up. Like I have done in the past I want trade my phone up and sign up again. However I was told that now I can just trade my old galaxy s3 up and get a discount on something like a s5. I have to pay out right for it, and still sign another contract. I dont get why I would want to do that? Why would I wanna pay more when I already budget my phone bill for the past 2 years. The plan fine, the cycel of every two year I can upgrade my phone to the newest hottest device for max $200, has always had a charm. Why cant I do that anymore with out be penialized? I figure staying with the company means something. I just feel like just another faceless number.

I guess with that theory then it is deceptive marketing to expect me to pay the bill on a "free" phone because it is supposed to be "free"? The phone is free not the fee to add it to the plan, this is not deceptive marketing. A "free" phone still requires you to pay for service under contract for 2 years... One could argue that is not "free". It also states restrictions apply and on a qualified plan. You cannot get the free phone without activating it with the carrier, does that mean it is not free? It is not deceptive marketing when the customer doesn't know what they are buying, expecially when explained in the details. I do my research to know what I am getting and what I will be charged because it is my reposibility to know for myself. That is why you need to be 18+ to sign a contract. The law figures that 18 is the magic number for responsibility. (They may be wrong)

You are not charged a "penalty", you just don't get the discount for being on the NEXT program or if you bought the phone outright.

What do you call "honest pricing"? Who clasifies what is "honest"?

is trying so hard to eliminate paper bills. We can throw a wrench in
their philosophy by paying our bills by check!

$5.00 off a month for a year as a promotional item.
I asked for a particular package that said did not exist. In February I
changed programs 3 times and was e mailed a PDF fike listing all their
offerings. Guess what. What I asked for was listed. These sales people
LIE, LIE and LIE. Maybe they have quotas??? I now have what I asked for
and to get even they, (AT&T) have made Outlook 2010 almost unusable.
However If you had E Mail accounts under the old DSL you might be able to
create a sub account and use one of the unusable accounts in Outlook as an
alias. I did and have had some limited success.
Read and print everything AT&T has to say about E Mail. They want us to
use web mail as we will have to view Advertising. Another rounds of
problems with AT&T and I am gone. Outlook is a full featured app . the
only web mail that comes close to Outlook is Google.
