On the one hand I feel the same. Thanks God I signed 2-year contracts on my 3 lines. Now if Att changes something it means I be off contract.
When Att drop your contract, they usually don't allow you to upgrade, but you can open dump phone 9.99 extra line and swap upgrade, close the line later, since it is off contract.
On the other hand Att is not in the same bad shape as VZW now and they don't want to loose customers to t-mobile.

That was brave, since $20 is a special retention price.
I don't know how certain accounts get selected for free unlimited text. Maybe you have to be on pay per use on all the lines for a while. I have a feeling all of these changes are happening so AT&T can simply their servers and stop tracking usage.
I remember reading something in a thread recently about ATT having a cheaper unlimited text package available ($10 instead of $30 I think it was ? ). Anyone got the info on this ?
I'm a brave guy
)) I feel the same, it is an expensive toy to track minutes, texts. I think they loose more than get from texts.I have this package,
$30 300minutes month
$30 unlimited data
$10 unlimited text.
I just called retention, asked for it. 30 seconds later had $10 text plan
10 dollars is for pesonal line. 20 for family plan. You can still get it, call retetion and you get it. if not, just call again. Att is very flexible with customers. That's why I like Att. T-mo is opposite, people say, that they have best CS. May be, but I haven't been able to get even a penny from them.
No my contract has me locked in at $90 (40 Talk, 30 Data, 20 Text) a month but even when it's time for me to renew, I don't think things will change anyway..
No one is sure. I think it has stopped for now. I never got one and there are a few people who missed on it as well.
When I look online it is confusing. When I go to my plan, it says unlimited minutes under the plan details, but still shows me having roll-over etc.
That's the part that is so freaking confusing. My fear is that folks will go over the limit and AT&T will claim this as a "WebSite Issue". What happens if you dial *646#?
I called retention the other day and asked about this specifically and she said unlimited talk was a real offer made to long time customers on certain plans (meaning it's not an error or glitch) and that it should switch over to displaying properly on the next billing cycle. She made a note on the account and added if I start getting charged for overages to just call in and they'll resolve it.
You don't get it under 450
I talked to a lady on phone and I asked what and how people are getting
1. Text charges removed
2. Unlimited minutes
She said it started back in June where the system picked people on older plans and also using non smart phones for most part. iPhones etc according to her and the promotion she was reading the stipulations for was basically for the dumber phones that aren't sending thousands of text etc.
She was apart of advanced technical support, was on phone because my microcell won't recognize my address and such. Very informative and the way she read off the criteria a and how it was done made sense.
Now I'm sure some people have iPhones since this is macrumoues and such and have gotten it. That's what she told me the system goes through and picks
I have been wondering about this, too. I am currently on the Senior Nation 200 plan and my contract expires next week. I am eligible for an upgrade (currently have a 5S) but haven't done it yet. When I go to MyAT&T and click on "view plan details" and then on the "change plan" button, I am offered a plan for Unlimited minutes, Unlimited text, and 2GB data for $70. My current plan also has 2GB data and costs $54.99. I can't tell if the new plan is a contract plan, or if not whether the price includes the BYOD discount.
Are you being offered anything like this?
No. This is for a buddy of mine and he is only being offered the nationwide 450 mins option. But he also has unlimited data.
I called the other day got $5 a month for 200 texts, which is perfect cause all my people have iPhone so my texts are rare
Lol I already have the $5 200 text on 3 of my UDP's. Was hoping to get the unlimited family for $20
I just went to check my text and talk usage and says its temporary unavailable for talk. The text section says there is no text associated plan with this account but I had $5 200 text plan so I hope when they update the site it means I will have unlimited talk and text. Fingers crossed
