Why is my bill so HIGH?!

[Tomer]

I got a bill today that says i needt o pay $115!!
now my plan is the regular one with 1500 text messages and it should be $85...
how come it jumped up to 115?
i remember when i had 1st g iphone, the first bill was 136.. but after ti was regular... why is it like that?

[pokekid]

if you upgraded then its most likely the activation fees and the new data plan is 10 dollars more and the text messaging is not included anymore with the data. if you are still on the first gen then you probably went over something. the new 3g iphone is 30 bucks a month plus text($5,10,20) and voice

and $18 upgrade fees.

[pokekid]

itll be cool after a month man. just relax my bill goes crazy when i get a new one

[461am]

and $18 upgrade fees.

Yeah, but didn't they directly charge us for that when we bought the phone?

[Tomer]

uh, yea.. i guess 85+18+tax
oh well, whatever... AT&T were always thieves, so im not that surprised :]

Have a good day!

Don't forget about taxes. The state and fed government gots to get their piece of the pie.

[dooley19]

ur bill is so high, cuz you have at&t. duh

lol, on top of that, I left another phone company so I had an early termination fee for switching to at&t. This month is killing me!

My bill was $180 for July... That's $30 more than what it normally is. I read through it carefully and noticed the $18 upgrade fee, and that they decided to add texting on 'for me', and prorate it too. I was so pissed! First off, no one told me when I purchased my iPhone 3G that an upgrade fee would be incurred. Then the auto adding of texting was the icing on the cake. After a few minutes on the line with CS, the fee was credited, as were the texting charges. Just goes to show ya; Always examine your bills! Some companies will 'auto-add' features, or will just not notify you of an increase of rates on a certain package/feature. The sad part is that most people just go "WTF?" and pay it. Others, like myself, don't stand for companies that try to nickel-and-dime ya. Beware guys/gals...

Word^^^ I always have to lose an hour of my life with sprint, they are bad with fees and increases. I am finally getting an iPhone and all these ATT horror stories still can't deter me.
Listen to ^^^ always check your billing statements and don't be afraid to dispute crazy charges.

I'm sure they itemize it for you and tell you why...

[stlcaddie]

I wish mine was under 180.00, I'm poppin $225+. But i'm to lazy to call and to Laid Back to give a F%^K.

I'M SO ADDICTED TO THIS MACHINE, That i just don't care

[tochamay]

I got 2 Iphones 3G. My bill jumped up to $290 because I canceled the data package plan. ATT charged all data transmitting and receving from WIFI at home. What they called is "pay per use". What the flicking rip off. No sale man warned me about it.

[Zwayne]

I have one 3G iphone and 3 other phones on my acct, and my bill is about $250.00....Would you like to trade bills....LOL

[mobilexile]

You peoples have nothing to complain about ... my first AT&T bill was $313.93.

Unlimited minutes
Unlimited data (duh)
1500 text
Red-hot poker from Uncle Sam and his little beotch, my state
AT&T recovery fee(s)


I left AT&T the day number portability went into effect -- their GSM network was a pathetic joke at that point. Now having returned and gone the way of the Jesus Phone™, I'm quite pleased with AT&T Wingular.

I'm sure they itemize it for you and tell you why...

Yeah no doubt.

Look at your bill and see what it says.

That will be able to tell you alot more detail and more accurately than any of us could.
