Changing Rate plans

It used to be that with ATTWS you were able to adjust your rate plan up or down within the billing cycle and that change would be effective for the whole billing cycle. I just called to adjust my plan (lower it) and they told me it will be in effect starting tomorrow but not from the beginning of the cycle.

What gives? is that true?

you must be a gsm customer. siebel doesn't back date. So if you change your rate plan in the middle of a bill cycle, you are gonna get a prorated invoice with reduced buckets of minutes to draw from. the alternative is to have the rep submit an nwrs form and have the rate plan change take effect on the start of the next billing cycle.
