Hi,
My friend was interested in upgrading to the iphone 5 and when he tried to do so on the AT&T website, there was an additonal charge of 30 dollars per month added to his monthly plan. He has an unlimited data plan and was under the impression that his old plan would be "granfathered" in when he upgraded the phone at the contract's end and he would not have to pay any fee (other than the activation fee of $36) for the upgrade.
I am thinking that AT&T was trying to charge him for "tethering" or something like that and that there was some mistake when doing the upgrade on the web and he was charged the $30 in error. He couldn't get a straight answer from the web chat as to why he was being charged $30 more a month for his unlimited plan. He was told to do the upgrade and then "call customer service" after the fact to evaluate the charges.
Does anyone have any experience with how to avoid this extra charge when upgrading via the website or should he just go to an AT&T store to do the upgrade?
Thanks
