Agent misled me to get me to change my plan. Please change my plan back.
I had been on the same wireless plan for about 4.5 years.
On an unrelated u-verse call the agent (I have her name and date of call and order number) told me I could switch to a new plan for less money, $107 vs. the $120 I was paying, and get unlimited calls and text and go from unlimited data to 10G of data, which should be plenty. I completely clarified everything on the call before agreeing to change. $107 would be the approximate amount of new total bill, no other changes, hidden fees, or temporary discounts.
When I got my bill the amount was too high. But I figured that was a result of the $60 in international data/call plans I added 3 months ago and have had to call multiple times to get removed. I looked at in detail and discovered the $107 plan was really $130. Then I looked at the fine print and found out if I upgrade my phone then it goes to $180!
I called and wanted to go back to my old plan but was told I needed to call within 60 days and I called at 63 days.
I hope someone at ATT has the authorization and customer service skills to make this right. I want my old plan back. Otherwise I will switch to another provider.
Thank you.

They got me also, except I have 5 phones. They lure you in with the $15 a month per phone. My att rep put it in writing that my bill wouldnt above $15 since I switched plans before March. But now if you upgrade it goes to $40, which is a lot more than the older plans. Save now, but pay lots more later. ATT wouldnt honor the promised upgrades, even though I have it in writing. I have to buy my own phones to keep the lower pricing.

I do not understand why this is surprising to so many people. I knew the day they announced the mobile share plans that if I switched, I'd be paying full price for my upgrades from then on. I went ahead and switched anyway because the cost savings on the service was too good to pass on.
It did not make sense for the OP to switch, though, if there old plan was $120. To the OP, be advised this is a user to user forum and no one from customer service will act on your request. I suggest you send a private message to ATTCustomerCare, they may be able to rectify your issue.

I guess lot of people got screwed same as me. Well, this is ridiculuous. Out of 2 lines that I placed order, only 1 line ended up getting the discount. I could not get the fact straight with the customer service that both lines were eligible and verified with the agent when I placed the orders. Somehow their billing system now shows that I agreed to 2 year plan with non eligible line. And they cannot do anything. I was actually told to either pay the cancellation penalty if I choose to cancel or just honor the contract. When I tried to pursue the matter, I got hung up by billing service supervisor. I wish I had wrote down his name. I am filing a complaint with FCC about this matter.
