Well its been done away with, im here to tell you. If anybody gets a contract extension with at&t for anything other than getting new equipment, you can PM me and i will have it looked into and no doubt in my mind, reversed.

truly a love/hate relationship with these companies. where else can you be charged for deciding that you don't want to do business with a company anymore? feels like outright extortion

Sorry guys at&t dude is correct. I recently changed my plan (have been with ATT since the old cingular days) and my contract was NOT extended and has been expired for at least 4 years as I'm still rocking an iphone 3g and bought it when it first came out and that was my last 2 year contract.

Contact the Better Business Bureau "BBB". Complain about your situation and your service and tell them that you want your contract canceled and you want the cancellation fee waived. My brother did that and it worked. I'm actually contacting the BBB myself. They raised my bill by $2.00 and they said it was from my phone insurance. Um I don't have phone insurance lol. I won't bore you will the full details, lets just say they are big time scam artists.

I had T-Moblile for like 4 1/2 years and just recently switched to Verizon. I paid 150.00$ /mo. ! for the unlimited minutes/text/data. They told me it would be like 99$ a month and i never paid that low, it would range around 150$ so i said F it and found someone to take over my account and went to Verizon. which i pay 70$ LESS. But t-mobile does have some awesome customer service.. just my .02$

But yeah i always thought to change plans you had to sign a new 2 yr. contract.

The only way you will find yourself in a contract in price plan is when you upgrade or start a new plan with some online venders as in wirefly, new egg etc etc. Places like that require you to stay on the price plan and features you add at the time for an x amount of time. I believe its 6 months and the reason for this is because if something is changed about the plan as in the things i listed above, whoever the carrier is looks at it as a disconnect in some form and charges the company for the full cost of the phone and then that charge is past on to you. Its in all their terms and conditions on the smalliest print available lol.

I left t-moblie a little over a year ago and never looked back. I now have at&t and love it and my bill is cheaper now then it was with t-mobile. I'm a die hard Android phone owner when I went to at&t i got the iphone 3gs loved it for a little while then it took a shit and Apple dicked me around on the warranty so i bought a HTC inspire and love the shit out of it after i rooted it. One thing I will give t-mobile is there customer service is way better then at&t and I had tmobile for over 5 years and never once had a issue with getting a new phone or changing up my contract. I will never own another iPhone ..

I went from paying over $130 a month to paying $88 so im happy ..

On another note everone I know that has Sprint hates it only thing they have going for them is the HTC evo3d ..


Let me know if I'm wrong but didn't at&t buy or buying tmobile ..


Posted from my HTC inspire

Tmobile has a sweet plan where if you already have a handset, you can get a plan with no contract that's $20 a month less than the contract plans. It might not be advertised but i switched from a family plan, which the contract had expired, to my own no contract plan keeping my G2 and didn't get charged a cent just a few months ago. It's even more plus or something like that.

T mobile is fine with me, just waiting for the Samsung Hercules ( Galaxy S II ) or Iphone 5 to come out for it. They have an unlimited data/talk/text family promotion going on for 50/month per line which i plan to jump on with the new phones.
The reason Im staying with the "cheap" company is exactly that, its cheap, half of what it would cost me at Verizon for the same plan and has great customer service, unlike ATT which is consistently rated as the WORST customer service experience.

How come you don't get that kind of deal? shouldn't they treat you better? unless you don't mind paying $85.00/mo
I have multiple lines, but I'll certainly look into it. And I swear, whenever I made changes over the years, It has always extended my contract.

But there's nothing wrong with examining options.

You do know Tmobile now offers 2 liner at 50 each unlimited everything right?

Hmm...I'm a bit lost on your statement.

With VZW if I'm about to go over my minutes, they let me change my plan without requiring a new contract. I can do it on the fly on my phone too. Also, I will be grandfathered into an unlimited plan once I get a new contract, even if I bump up to 4G. Of course that last bit is probably a one time deal.

Just canceled plan with T-mobile. and I am going to have pre-paid (T-mobile) plan until i-Phone comes out. It was $30 for 1500 mins, txt +10MB data. which is perfectly fine with me since I was paying $29.99+ tax + fees for 500mins no txt, no data.

and I get to keep my phone # and did not have to purchase SIM card since I already had one.

You shouldn't be paying same retail price if you are willing to extend contract.
and also you have been with T-mobile since stone age, ask for some kind of discounts or deals..
