$10 a month my butt!

what plan is that? I ask because I'm on one of their highest plans, 5G Do More, and looking at other plans include 5G Get More and 5G Play More... I don't see anything but $10 watch fees. is it grandfathered? thanks!

I believe it’s the Get More plan, not sure any of the lower plans have it.

I just looked into it more, Get More and my Do More both have the 50% off... however it is 50% only ONE eligible plan which includes watches, tablets etc. and I already have a $20 unlimited plan add on (that now costs $10 because of the half off) for my cellular iPad Pro I travel with. Because I get the discount on that tablet, I can't use it on the watch and have to pay $10 instead of $5, still a better deal because I save $10 with the tablet. Clear as mud. Thanks.

Oh, it’s only one? That’s sucky.

So just activated our two new Apple Watches on Verizon and HOLY SH^T... not only is it $10 a month per watch, there is also a $9.79 surcharge per watch and $2.36 in taxes (which I understand).... so $10 a month has turned into $22.15... and on top of that I got hit with two $37 activation fees that they said (over chat) they can't be waived... Wonder if it would be worth calling to try to have the activation fees waived?!

I don't understand when cell phone companies literally do nothing manual when I activate a device at home, why they need to charge me a fee...

It’s $20 plus tax at AT@T a month for iPad!smdh

T-Mobile is the best at this. $10/month means $10/month. I had AT&T and they also tacked on over $9 of “taxes and fees.”

The thing is, I used all of 32MB of data on my watch last month. I’ve used 67GB of data on my phone this month since I let my iPhone 14 Pro restore from iCloud over cellular. So whatever the carriers charge for the Watch is basically pure profit. Yeah, maybe the state charges them $1 in taxes, but that’s peanuts.

And this is why am yet to activate my watch with AT&T. Just awful...

Sounds like you'd benefit from the $5/mo 500MB watch plan T-Mobile has now.
