ATTCares can only give you a polite response.  As a fellow customer, I can add facts and just say, “you’re asking too much”.   Switching is expensive under the best circumstances.  

Realistically, no carrier can offer deals like BOGO to everyone.  AT&T has 147 million postpaid connections.  Even offering everyone $100 off each upgrade would cost 14.7 billion dollars. Carriers have stock holders they must report their actions to.   

   And you can’t argue, “what about just long time customers?”   How long?  And how many are there?   Are people with 20 years long enough, but 19 not long enough?  

    As for those deals; They are a lost leader to gain new business and make a profit, they are not to save the new customer money.   

Prices on current plans have been reduced to service only.   All plans since the Mobile Share Value plan are service only.  Plans older than that included phones in cost of service. 

Think of it this way: New customers get ONE nice thing. Then they become existing customers and are mistreated like everybody else.
