Upgrade phone but keep current text messaging plan
When trying to place an order through the site, I'm able to select my current unlimited data plan but my text messaging plan does not show up. The only options are the unlimited plan and the no text messaging plan.
Okay, so I can't do it online, but when I call in it turns out that no one is able to actually help a customer place an order now. Seriously? The sales departments transfers you to the online purchasing department who transfer you back to sales because they can only help with orders after they've been placed. After an hour on the phone with no progress whatsoever I get accidentally hung up on. THANKS!!
Nice job with the customer service guys.
Who do I need to speak to so I can upgrade my phone and keep the rest of my plan exactly the same? I'm not going to place an order and then get told it's too late to keep my plan now because I've already renewed my contract. I'm not paying $20 a month for unlimited text messages when I only send 20 or so text messages in a month, and I'm not paying $20 a month to send 20 text messages because I don't have a text messaging plan.

No thanks.
It turns out if you order the iphone through apple.com, your current text messaging plan shows up and is able to be kept the same like everything else. I'd suggest anyone who is worried about losing their plan to order there instead of trying to deal with AT&T's horrible customer service.
