Unlimited plan removed
We have had unlimited data on our hotspot, MF923, since 2016. Evidently in the last 3-4 months, AT&T has switched the plan from unlimited to a set limit with overage fees. The charges for the last three months have been roughly, $400, $400, $800. My wife attempted to call AT&T Wednesday night & again tonight. She finally was about to speak with a rep tonight. He was extremely helpful & offered to credit the last months overage charges of $800 onto next months bill plus add another 10GB on top of our existing 40GB bill. I asked to speak with him & simply requested an explanation & reasoning for the price changes. He wasn’t able to answer the questions but suggested I speak with his manager. After holding for over 45 mins we hung up & called back, only to be informed their office closes at 9. Is this normal business practice for AT&T? I believe they acknowledged their wrongdoings or wouldn’t offer an $800 credit. I’m assuming others have had similar issues, how did you proceed?
Thank you I’m advance.

@Mr_wright4
What plan was the hotspot on?
On its own plan, or group, with phones?
Prepaid or postpaid?

With a group, it is bundled together with AT&T phones & Directv. Post paid.

That doesn't tell me what plan you are on. Postpaid plans have a name.
There was a plan just called AT&t unlimited which debuted in 2016 and was retired in 2017. It required TV service as part of its price structure.
In 2017 it was replaced by the unlimited choice and plus plans. The only unlimited plan AT&t has ever offered that permitted a dedicated hotspot device was unlimited Plus. The ability to add a hotspot ended in March of 2018. If the name of your plan is not the unlimited plus plan that is why you have lost your hotspot and it would have been placed as a separate, limited plan on your bill.
Were you on the unlimited plus plan?
If not, I dedicated hotspot device was not permitted and someone corrected the error.
If you were on unlimited Plus and now have been moved to a different plan, then the question is when was your plan changed? Did someone upgrade phone other than with at&t?

You selectively did not include the last part where it says, "connected cars hotspots, wireless home phone, and Internet devices are not supported."
