I know there was a thread earlier about this but I could not find it. Anyways ATT, Today has dropped their price to $10 a month. Now the only thread said you had to have family messaging and then manually change it to the $10 a month. I see if you upgrade to media net and messaging ( not family ) that it is $30 and not $35. On a couple ATT forums they say you have to call in and ask for the $10 a month with family messaging. Thought I'd put this out there again and confirm that it did happen, only it seems not as exactly planned. I'll update once I call in and try to get to $10 a month with family messaging.
This is for real and does work. Most reps do not know about it so you may have to talk to a supervisor or call back.

When I called, I told the rep what I had read on the ATT FORUM!! Mentioned that I am On HERE all the time!! He knew what I was talking about and said there were some prerequisites. Needless to say that I basically told HIM what they were, from what I have read, before he had the chance to tell me. Anyway, he was VERY nice and changed it!! That's $5 in my pocket every month! Thanks to the OP for posting this little tidbit of information!! :smileyhappy:

I've added an attachment of the online account that shows that it is downgraded in a bundle, but of course you can't bundle if you have family messaging unlimited.
Steps to get yours for $5 less:
1. Call and alert them of the deal
2. If they claim it does not exist, simply tell them you have friends that have got it and tell them to look at the Media Net Bundle which is $5 less.
3. Ask to talk to a supervisor.
I saw this.
AT&T burying MEdiaNet branding, dropping data plan prices?
Let us know when you talk to ATT if you can change it with a family talk messaging plan. I tried going onto my account online and I did not see an option to change to $10.
that is an awesome deal!!! the only thing i read though is specifically to the family plan. are there any new rumors as to whether or not the overall data plan would be cheaper for individual data plan like the (pda personal plan)? some other thread was suggesting $15 for medianet.
any thoughts?
I haven't yet called as I seem to misplaced or lost my little nokia phone that I use to get the Media Net. I will update once I call though.
This is an ATT Forum that people said they were able to get the cheap plan yesterday. They claim that most Reps from ATT are unaware of the new change and usually takes a little while to get them to change it.

This is only on non smart phones. This does not include pda phones or the iphone. I work for at&t.
Exactly...but you can use the IMEI from your non smart phones and make AT&T think you are using those phones. As a rep I can't believe you are unaware of this fact.

That is true, I forgot they ask for that when you call. Maybe I'll just give a friend a call who has a non pda phone and get that IMEI lol. Thanks.
If I swap SIMs, my online account shows the non-PDA phone and the option shows up but when I try to change it I get an error saying its not compatible with the phone/device on my account. I think I've read somewhere that there's a flag on the account showing that you've had a PDA phone so the only way to get it changed is to call.
Yeah calling is the only way you can get it changed.
Just be careful with the amount of internet you use because if you use quite a bit they will get suspicious.
Yeah they told me the same thing after I had bought my Fuze. I just had to provide the IMEI of the other device and they set it up for me. From my experience with ATT, ignorance works well. If I ever get caught with using my Fuze on this plan, I'll just tell them no one told me. I'll then start complaining that it is no different from having a regular phone or PDA, of course on PDA you will use more than a regular phone. But a regular phone is STILL unlimited, so theoretically you could use more than a PDA and there isn't anything wrong. I also throw in that I've been a customer for over 7 years ( maybe not that long but it's been a while lol ) before Cingular bought ATT, and ever since then paid my bill on time and usually have a positive balance of $50. They've never given me any problems after I make that fact clear and is a big reason why I've stayed with them.
Yeah. I always pull the card that(since I am on my parents plan) my mom retired from SBC before being bought by AT&T and worked their for 30 years and my dad is retired military and they have provided all internet/phone connections for our home for a very long time.
Works every time
I guess fuze users are short out of luck unless they happen to have a phone that is 3g usable.

I'm not sure it has to be a 3G phone to do this trick, I think it can be any phone ( Non PDA of course ). I had a little Nokia that was a pay per use one and I'm sure it wasn't 3G. Still worked. Do need to find the little guy though.
Hello all! No such luck here
I went online and it showed my phone as the FUZE so I switch my sim into a cheapo Motorola C168i-PAYG, I made a couple of calls and did some other things on this phone and eventually it did update online and showed the Motorola C168i-PAYG as my phone. I checked and it still showed my Data Unlimited as $15.00, so I dropped it and then readded it and sure enough it was still at $15.00. I called ATT and the rep I got ahold of said the same thing, the unlimited data was $15.00 and he didn't know anything about the $10.00 one...
so no such luck for me!
Good luck to everyone else, we'll see what happens :-\

Look at Data Unlimited ( name changed from Media Net today ) and Unlimited Messaging ( Not Family Messaging ) It is $5 cheaper a month. This confirms that they are doing the $10 a month. Most reps, or so I've heard have said they don't know about it. Ask to talk to a supervisior tell both of them that you have friends who have had it done and you've notice the change if you had Data Unlimited and Unlimited Messaging it'd be $5 cheaper. It may take about a half hour before they finally let you do it but I can assure you they will do it. I haven't yet tried it because I need a non smart phone to try it. I will post back when I do try it. Also because a half hour is a long time, and this usually pisses me off to have to be on the phone for a half hour because they don't know what is going on in their own company, I ask for more rollover minutes. I usually get 20-200 extra minutes from having to be on hold and waiting for so long. Just be firm with them and don't take no for an answer.
I did notice the name change but the thing is it is still showing as $15.00! I might call back in a few days after it has had time to go through their system
Thx and post back if anyone has actually success with this !
The rep did ask for a link or something where it said this price etc etc etc ;-)! Mabye if there was somewhere on their own site or an actual place I could show them this price change rather than just word of mouth ya know!

I uploaded an image of the online account. You can see Unlimited Messaging is $20/mo and Unlimited Data is $15, But Bundled together they're only $30. This used to be $35. You're still supposed to be able to get it for $10 with a Unlimited Family Messaging plan. Inform them of this, and again don't take no for an answer lol. Or just wait until I get a non smart phone and I'll post and tell you exactly what I said and did.

Hello all. Long time lurker. Just wanted to create a new thread so people see this great deal. Today only (Cyber Monday) you can get a free Fuze (among other phones) if you sign up for a new line on an AT&T premier account. I saw this on pocketnow.com and see that some posted about it in the "How much did you pay for your Fuze" thread but I felt it needed its own topic so more people see it. If anyone disagrees I understand and this can be deleted but it is a great deal for today that I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on.
it would be nice if they let Family Talk customers get in on the action too.
Thanks for the heads up, just printed the page where it says Fuze is free today and went to the store where I purchased it on the 10th and they credited my account.
Thanks again.

Yes. I created a new account.
oh okay how much is etf again i could probably get the phone for around 200 if i did it that way
Yeah I just ordered through premier two weeks ago for this phone. Since I'm under 30 days I'll just cancel my current plan and reorder today. Calling the CSR to "price match" and they said to do it this way instead, retarded
Free fuze on family plan
I got my free fuze on letstalk.com on a family plan. also i have a code that gives u an additional $20 off. PM me for the code or just go to the site for a free fuze!!!
Cant you just ad a line too and then cancel it within 30 days?? Worst case, you pay the $200 to cancel..?
holy crap! Ordering 2 right now!
Yay! Got two just now from AT&T store. Payed $77 tax on 2 phones. Will cancel and pay ETF. Comes out to be $260 per phone.
alot of people seem to have premier accounts..is it really that common to have a job that supplies that?
oh and kraize arent you contradicting yourself..on the other thread (how much did you pay for your fuze) you bag on the people saying theyl have to pay equipment costs but now your going to have too..not trying to get on you but just lookin out for you
nvm...........

True. Glad you noticed Well. I talked to my rep. He was a friendly guy and guaranteed me that I would only have to pay ETF and not equipment charges because it took him 2 and a half hours to get my phone and crap. He said there is no equipment charges even though I saw in the contract that there is. So I guess I don't have to pay them Already set up to cancel in 31 days.
and may i ask how did you get your premier account? arent you under 18? (sorry i ask i just swear i remember in another thread in the past you stated you were 16)
oh and im still contemplating calling att customer relations tomorrow again..already tried once but let the rep work me but i just got my wife a n95 and did a warranty exchange for a fuze from my tilt and i was trying to work them down on price of a new fuze (letting them know there have been all these sales from other websites and even this premier sale today) to around $150-200 and by threatening to goto the competition (tmobile g1 for $170) and keeping the brand new one and selling the refurb in new kit to make up for my wifes n95. When i called last i never really threatened to leave att aka "please transfer me to canellations department" lol i just wasnt feelin it that day but i think ill try tomorrow
./sigh, I could never get my premier account working... Followed links and it only ever let me apply my discount.. can't seem to find the commitment-free or special premier prices anywhere
Hi all,
If my question is not in the appropriate forum please move it. I can also see this question in the general section.
Situation & Question below:
Today AT&T just changed my unlimited media net data plan ($15) to the 2gb capped data pro2 plan ($25). When I first signed up for AT&T over a year ago I got the unlimited medianet plan with a normal 3g flip phone. I quickly took the 3g sim from the flip phone and began using my medianet dataplan with an Xperia x1 smartphone. Last March I replaced the Xperia x1 with an AT&T branded Backflip I purchased off of ebay. Since the beginning of my plan I have had no problems with using the medianet dataplan with my smartphones. Even when AT&T changed their data plans this summer I assumed I would be "grandfathered" in with my current plan.
Since AT&T changed my plan am I able to leave AT&T without suffering an ETF or is it within my contract that AT&T can make a change and not allow me to opt out if they notice a "mistake" on my account?
Also, how exactly would you suggest going about it if I can use this as an excuse to break my contract. I've read several articles online about it, but I would appreciate any extra experience.
1. I know I was kind of abusing a loop hole, so please spare me the lecture.
2. The 2gb plan won't work for me because I tether my netbook to my phone at least twice a day on a 1 hour train ride. (I usually use 1.5-3GB a month)
Thanks in advanced.
You might be able to get your unlimited plan back if you complain to an AT&T rep about the change of terms of service. But I suspect they finally caught on to your tethering
Dropped from my smoking fast Captivate (Darky's Raw Steel v3.0)
I got that text msg also on the 21st. It looks like tethering has nothing to do with it since I didn't even bother to tether. I see some folks are able to get their grandfathered plans back and some can't. It is up to the service rep. As soon as I find a couple of hours to call ATT service, I will be trying to get my grandfathered data plan back.
Good luck on your try.
I was a QA Supervisor in a call center with Cingular and then AT&T for years.
First thing, anytime you change phones you need to call AT&T and change the IMEI number on that line number. If you do not do this, you can have problems with your service and it CAN cause problems with billing some of the time. Not saying that has ANYTHING to do with your current issue, I'm just sharing that information with you. People think they can just jump the SIM card from one phone to the next without an issue but it CAN cause a problem. AGAIN, not saying that has ANYTHING to do with your problem and this is just a SIDE NOTE.
As far as you trying to get out of your contract without an ETF, it is not going to happen. AT&T reserves the right to change your service at anytime. This is the policy with 98% of companies these days. NOW, depending on where you are in your contract, you could be subject to a lower ETF here. I know that AT&T raised the ETF a few months ago but as it has always been, the farther along you are in your contract, the lower the fee will be. I would call them and ask how much the ETF would be right now. Also get the ETF for each month for the next say, 6 months. (just looked back at your post again and noticed that you have had service for over a year now). Since you are over one year into your contract, you MIGHT be able to get something out of this if you do not want to cancel and just pay the lower fee. Get a supervisor on the phone and BE NICE. Do NOT try to quote any laws, policies or TOS to the person you speak to. You do not work for AT&T, THEY DO. Just let them know that you are not happy with the new data plan and have been looking into changing to a different company so that you can use the unlimited data. I myself have the unlimited data plan and it is still on $15 a month. I've had it for over 3 years and have upgraded within that time. All of the phones on my account have the unlimited data @ $15 a month and all have been upgraded while using the plan. I have a feeling that they got you because of the tethering OR you have somehow allowed this change to happen while on the phone with one of the CSRs. I've seen where plans have been changed on accounts and the customer was on the phone when it happened and agreed to it. I've also seen these same customers call back later and claim they never agreed to anything. It is VERY easy to get lost in the conversation with some of these CSRs and have things changed on your account, not saying it is right for them to do , just saying it happens.
Talk to a supervisor and go from there with it. Make sure you let him know you have had the UDP for the life of the account and without it, you will be looking at a different company. He will check your account and see when, why and how the plan was changed and he MIGHT allow you to have it back. AT&T is not in the business of losing customers, use that to get what you want. Just remember, BE NICE and do not try to act like you know more than the person you are talking to (i don't care if you're talking to one of the idiots on the call floor)
You cancel your service, you are going to pay an ETF. There is no way around that. Like I said, you are far along in your contract so it will not cost you as much. I believe there is at least one company out there right now that will pay your ETF with AT&T if you switch service and use them. I can't remember which company it is but you can google search or call the different companies and ask just ask well as I can.
thanks for the great reply. I myself don't want to leave, I am going to call them to get my grandfathered data plan back if I can. I usually do call them to change the IMEI but just plum forgot to with this phone.
Thanks again

Hey, i bought my tmobile phones and plans at costco wireless
www.membershipwireless.com
The main reason why i bought tmobile phones and plans there was because i could have free family lines.
The total monthly fee was $99.99.
But after they processed my order, the total monthly charge changed to $119.99. And i noticed the add a line fees for my line 3 and 4 and it was $10 per line. Can anyone help me? When i bought the phones, there were no add a line fees but they suddenly charged me add a line fees when they processed the order. I tested their site to see how much my order is again so i added same phones and plans, but now, add a line fees appears but they didnt when i bought the order which was four days ago! And even if its 10 dollars per line, isnt it 5 dollars per line? its 5 at tmobile.com
I have even more family talk 750 with 2 200MB data plans & unlimited domestic texting.
Please help me, i am worrying so much about this
And i did contact costco but they said i have to contact Tmobile since they are the ones who processed my order. They also said that they only sold phones to me and plans have to do with tmobile not them. So i contacted tmobile but they told me that they cant do anything until i receive my phones so they can open my account and view my problem specifically.
When i ordered my phones, there were no add a line charges, but now, when you try to make an order, add a line charges do apply but they didnt when i ordered them! :/

So basically T-Mobile who can help you with the problem said to wait for your phones to get there, activate them and then call them back and they can help you with it right?
So if that's the case, why are you asking us here who have absolutely no control over what happened to you and can't really do anything but sit on our thumbs in this case. Wouldn't it be better to just do as T-Mobile says and wait for them (the only people who can fix it) than to get help from a random person on the internet?

you are absolutely right. However, i wanted to see if people bought their phones at costco wireless too and got free family plan lines. I googled it and found some results but wasnt sure of them.

Don't get me wrong, I am not flaming you, I simply don't understand, or didn't. You had posted PLEASE HELP! and to me that seems to mean you want someone here to tell you what to do.
I am sure there is a good reason it happens the way it did and usually it's because the salesperson didn't explain all of the fees or some other issue when you got them. I see it happen alot or at least I used to when I worked retail in a galaxy far far away.
Good luck with getting it fixed though.
A new "chink" in the armor that is att customer service. (for you to enjoy?)
Long story: been with att since they bought up cingular. Have upgrade numerous times thru premiere over the years. This time one thing was different, i had moved and needed to change my phone number.
The long and short of it is this: when i changed my number ( originally because of location but 3x more times because i got recycled numbers complete with bill collectors and spam texts). They lost the upgrade essentially.
I discovered and could use advice on who to report it to another whole issue also. When you change your number you lose access to your account online instantly. Like you never exsisted. I returned one of my upgrade (sony vivaz). But because i changed phone numbers they couldnt even find the returned item without me explaining for over an hour while i waited for. Supervisor.
One other complication was that after spending 150 online thru discounted premiere i walked into a target store to see the cap for fifty a day after i got it.
I called they credited me 100 dollars. BUT.....
Now my account only shows a 15 dollar credit because i changed my number inbetween one more time (the recycled number i mentioned).
Since i lost access to those accounts im supposed to take them on their werd that the 92 dollars for the vivaz is returned (yes i will see it arrive in the bank but thats not the point!). Nor do i have any idea WHAT my 100 dolar credit was applied to. I suggested to them that weve been in utter turmoil with att returning the phone during the entire billing cycle and. That the way things were going they should wipe my bill for the month AND THEN apply the 100 dollaars.
So after 93 more mins today and telling that fked up story three times the superviisor says he cant sell me a second cap at the fifty dollar price. (even though i made the last moe-ron note the account). I said fine sell it to me for 150 again and credit me 100 again.
Oh im NOT doing that sir.
Thats when he lost. After six years and id guestimate well over 80 man hours on the phone with cust. Service i told him i would be shutting off my accounts tonite. And i hung up.
How does this help you?
Lolz
Well you see if i cancel i have a brandy new cap for fitty bucks. Since i changed the account number im eligible immediTely for an upgrade.
No early term. Nothing. Matter of fact while trying to resolve the upgrade iissue several times they asked which number (i wNted to upgrade)
Because they cant see anything but two brand new accounts with eligibilty.

What a long, boring, typo-laden story to get around to what amounts to posting a for sale ad in the wrong forum.

wow, this makes me glad i grew up in a canadian school system.
that didnt make no kind of conprehensible understanding of what occured. (sarcastic irony)
I don't get it... is AT&T snatching up chinamen/women and adhering them to their "armor"??....
oh wait he meant kink!!!
so this boils down to, if i change my number, my new number will immediately show up as eligible for upgrade? if this is true, Motorola Atrix 4G here i come....
at&t never bought cingular. cingular bought at&t and changed their name.

Failsauce. Chink is the right word. The racist meaning stems from the definition of it.

Wow. It would have taken you less time to Google it and find out you were wrong than it took you to post that. You are 90% epic fails, and 10% regular fails.

I stand corrected... i apologize
Nobody believes you were on the phone for 80 hours. If you were, you should get a job and buy your phones. You didn't do anything magical. Customer Care deals with idiots like you every day.
You're dumb for demanding so many number changes. They probably never reset your contract through this process, but were just doing you a favor by offering you another phone replacement. Sitting on the phone and badgering someone until they give in is not awesome. When they next dude calls in and can't get help because you ruined the system with your selfish greed, we'll all high-five you then!
Trying to order an additional phone when you already got one with a discount is not going to work every time. When you signed up for that Captivate, you signed up for a $325 ETF, tied to your SSN. I think the 'long story short' of this is that you should enjoy your ETF.
Moron the second phone is to replace the ****ty vivaz my wife picked out lol. Greed? Yes i should take it in the pants from the AT and Teaparty forever.
I apparently should accept having some other morons bill collectors calling me with in two hours of getting the new number lol...baaaaaa baaaaa
80 hours over SIX YEARS. For this one issue maybe 5 total alone.
They took my unlimited last year my 4600 rollovers got dropped into the void when my numbers changed. **** yer right lion im calling. Back right now to apologize.
Oh and whovers counting spelling.... Lolz. Really? Really?
My title wasnt purposfully racist! I love your food!
Heheheh

close but no. SBC and Bell South merged their cellphone divisions to create Cingular Wireless. AT&T split their landline and cellphone divisions and sold AT&T Wireless to Cingular. Cingular kept the Cingular wireless name because AT&T's landline division, also known as the AT&T parent company kept the AT&T wireless name through an agreement during the wireless merger/buyout. AT&T was going to launch a new wireless division called AT&T wireless, but SBC bought out AT&T landline. because of the buyout, Cingular was allowed to use the AT&T Wireless name.

Anyone with a TB outage 3G/4G: dial (800) 922-0204 and put your number in. You will get an automatic credit. And they will text you. RT!
Edit: Actually, it says you have reached a non working number.
Tried to do it. Verizon rep says her system is not working at the moment due to the outage so I would have to call back later. She said its "unknown" if Verizon is going to credit people's accounts for this outage or not.
i called and was just a standard autmation. nothing about the outage or anything out of the norm.
I'm on a biz account and we have 2 LTE devices out of 100+ lines. I have the Bolt and a Samsung Mifi (replacing an embedded 5720 in my laptop...can't wait for embedded LTE cards!)
I emailed my rep this morning about if they're going to do credits for LTE customers. He emails me back "since you guys are on the $20 unlimited data plan per line do you really want the 66 cents back for each of the two lines?"
I just can't be that much of a jerk.
I just recieved $3.00 credit on my $29.99 data plan......that is very fair......
She credited it to my account right away...I now have a balance of -$3.00 lol
it will show up on my next statement...
call 800-922-0204 and ask for your credit.
I dialed the number and received the standard automated greeting.
I pressed '2' just to see what would happen.
I received an automated response that a $4 credit was being applied to my account. <shrug> No directions on how to do it, but I got the credit, and received the text stating the same.
I just called and had to get a rep. I was offered a $1.00 credit! Whoopee Doo!
I just told them to keep it and it will remind me about switching to AT&T the next time.
Oh boy! An entire $1 credit!
You people are pathetic.
Nice! Thank you for the info! I just got a large credit (I have a few data plans on my account)
For some odd, really odd reason, the automated message said the credit was for $325, and it will be on my next statement. This HAS to he an error. But if it works, I'm gonna use those saving towards a TB for the wife.

Pressing 2 gives an automated message? I had to just dial 0

So they gave you $1, which equals your time without 4g. Whats wrong with that? Should they give you the month free? Wtf is up with people? Do us a favor, go to at&t. People are dicks.
Why do people even want a $1 credit? Really? Yea it sucked only being on 1X but gees tight asses

And they really don't care, go to AT&T, go get your speeds capped because you don't have an iPhone. Go get a "4G" AT&T device and not even be able to use it because they don't even have the network up yet. Go to AT&T so none of us have to read idiotic posts like your's in this forum anymore.
You pay $30 a month for unlimited 4g... it was out for a day... 30 days in a month... based upon your dumb statement, i'm going to guess you can't do the math correctly, so i'll just tell you that it equates to about $1.00 a day. Make sense now?
Not bad I received 5 dollars credit for 1 and a half outage.
:| I got a $70 credit when pressing 2. Not gonna question it, I'm just gonna take it.

I didn't want their $1.00 .... It's the principal with things they do.
A friend is also on the EXACT same plan and he got a $3.00 credit. So why do I get offered $1.00? One of our other corporate phone went 3 text messages over, and we got like a 30 cent charge.... so if they were offering $3.00 why not take it. If everyone asked for the $1. it would mean a lot more to them and maybe they would have a backup system. Hard to believe whatever failure they had took down the network for the entire country.
If idiots like you didn't take posts so literally maybe we'd be better off also!

Ugh... if that corporate phone went over the texting limit then of course he's going to get charged 10 cents for every text. It's in the goddamn contract.
Either way, a $1 or $3 is all they owe you. Why did you think you'd get more than that? What do you mean "the principal of the things they do?" VZW has some of the best customer service out of any of the providers. They've bent over backwards numerous times for me.
And it's new technology. 4G LTE has been up for what? A little more than a month? Of course there's going to be kinks to work out. Get a grip you idiot.

ooooh $3.00... That $2.00 really set you off didn't it?
They offered you $1.00 and you gave them a smart ass remark, you are telling me if they told you $3.00, that would have said thank you and been happy
You went over the txt msg limit and got charged extra, you signed a contract stating so. Nowhere in the contract for VZW does it say "if 4G goes down we will reimburse you "x" amount of dollars".
