Has anyone heard about any sort of regulation where customers have 6 months to pay off an Early Termination Fee with no late fees?

I have heard multiple people (employees and customers alike) talk about this, however in searching through official company rules and on the internet at the FCC website I was able to find no such thing.

Anyone ever heard this? Have any official documentation?

I thought I'd let everyone know, that if you're like me and leave AT&T (for network issues/problems) to go to Sprint well watch-out! Sprint has buried in their fine print not only Government Surcharges (which is normal for any carrier to charge) but Sprint Regulatory Surcharges (which under law, Sprint can charge - its pure profit and runs $13-$19 per month per subscriber, depending upon your plan). I signed up, got my bill and saw these fine print charges then saw that on 1/1/2010 they're raising their line fees another .40 cents per line - another rip off. So under the law I canceled my account without a Early Termination Fee (ETF) as they caused a material breach in their Agreement (which allowed me to leave). I went back to AT&T, I w...

I was inquiring about what the lowest voice plan is available for at&t. I know some carriers have unadvertised voice plans, I heard they have a $30 plan available.

Can anyone please provide feedback as to what are the lowest voice plans available for an individual plan on at&t?

Thanks in advance.

Got this in my e-mail, jw if it works or it is a scam?

I am planning on purchasing a Blackberry 8520 (full retail) on Amazon. I'm hoping to activate it on my Att plan and go on a month to month contract. I'm pretty sure this can be done.


Just hoping someone here can verify this for me. TIA.

After 1 whole year of usage, which included 2 Device Replacements of the same phone in the last month due to the phone's tendency to "Power-Off at Random" in middle of Phone Calls, I am seeking advice on which Samsung Model to change into under AT&T's Warranty Exchange Program. Under this program, their original offer was to change into either:

- LG Vu (Crap, Battery problems (i.e., Batteries don't last too long)
- LG Xenon (Cheaply made phone, Keyboard is too small for my fingers to legitimately type on it. Also the slider keyboard has been known to break rather easily)
-Samsung Solstice (Has the same problem of freezing up and powering off as my Eternity so not an option)
-Samsung Impression (Only legit option except is has no 3.5 ...

This is a great opportunity I hope AT&T jumps on.

The X10 Runs on Android.

So AT&T could actually have an Android phone made by Sony Ericsson.

-The X10 is 8.1 MP (VZW 5.0MP) Cam.

This is a good chance, but I doubt AT&T will pick this up and promote it. We were shocked that they actually picked up the C905a, which has finally caught on with our customers.

Time will Tell.

My wife has decided that she has to have an iPhone but nothing at AT&T really jumps out at me. I see where there are rumors of a few cool phones coming out soon.
My question is with VZW you get 30 days to return a phone for any reason, do you get the same sort of grace period from AT&T?
I want to go ahead and switch to get my with the iPhone but I'm looking at either the BB Bold 9700 or Nokia E71x and would probably rather the Palm Pixi or one of the other rumored phones heading to AT&T.
Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.

Ma Bell's wireless network is still standing after Friday's grassroots iPhone attack


The appointed hour — Friday, from 12 noon to 1 p.m. PST — came and went and AT&T's (T) wireless had not been brought to its knees, despite the best efforts of thousands of Apple (AAPL) iPhone users.

"As far as I can tell, there’s been no impact at all," wrote Dan Lyons in The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs at 12:19 p.m. "My iPhone is working just the same as ever. "

It was Lyons, writing as Fake Steve Jobs, who on Monday had encouraged iPhone owners to overwhelm AT&T's network by turning on a data-intensive app and running it for an hour. Operation Chokehold, as he dubbed it, was intended as a protest against AT&T's thre

Does the Moto Tundra VA76r have an external antenna port or not?

Normally, phonescoop's excellent phone info page specifies this bit of info, but this time, it has let me down by leaving that blank. No "yes" or "no", just blank.

Thanks In Advance.

I'm sorry.

Merry Christmas.

So has any dealer got the iPhone yet? We have not, we were suppose to get it before Black Friday. Rumor has it that it's being stalled due to a lawsuit that someone filed because they could not get the iPhone until after the first of the year.

i thought it was suppose to be release already i went to a few stores and they just looked at me stupid cause they didnt know what i was talking bout... any idea when it will be released

I have a LG VU and need something for emails mainly, other features would be nice. I was told the blackberry was prob best if so which one?? and why? another thing I might need for is a thing called FOB? its for real estate opening the lock boxs, I think it is an app. but will use for emails.

I bought a netbook last year for my mom, she never uses it, and of course, paying $60 a month in data for it. Is there a way I can essentially turn that service into a phone line without massive penalties?

Subject: Operation Chokehold
On Friday, December 18, at noon Pacific time, we will attempt to overwhelm the AT&T data network and bring it to its knees. The goal is to have every iPhone user (or as many as we can) turn on a data intensive app and run that app for one solid hour. Send the message to AT&T that we are sick of their substandard network and sick of their abusive comments. THe idea is we’ll create a digital flash mob. We’re calling it in Operation Chokehold. Join us and speak truth to power!

Remember to turn OFF your Wi-Fi during that hour. There would be NO point if a bunch of people are browsing YouTube in their office

so it's bad enough that you can't get gmail on any at&t phones (it's 2009 you know). and no i didn't say pda's, i said phones and at&t makes sure that phones and pda's aren't confused becuase one cost $15.00 a month more to have the same data access... but now they are said to be releasing an android phone and have removed all google apps except maps and market, AND put a big ass yahoo search bar on the main screen. talk about a bunch of idiots. how is a company ran on such a low iq???

Wall Street Journal
July 21, 2010

After losing its exclusivity contract with Apple last week, many AT&T iPhone users have switched to Verizon Wireless who released the iPhone just a little over a week ago. It's is estimated that approximately 8% of iPhone users have made the switch to Verizon Wireless, and they are already putting the Wireless giant that for many years has claimed to have "the most reliable network" in a sticky situation.
Reports are coming from Boston, Chicago, NYC, Miami, San Francisco and many other cities throughout the US of poor service, dropped calls, sporadic data speeds. A call to Verizon Wireless was not immediately returned.
In the meantime, Verizon Wireless stores don't have the iPhone in stock. It's esti...
