[Help] AT&T Automatically adding Data Plan to iPhone 3Gs

[ketpah]

Follow these steps to remove iPhone data plan

They have no right to add a feature that you do not use. They are just milking customers, but if enough people complain, they will have to back out.

Follow these steps:
1) Put your SIM card into a regular phone
2) Call AT&T to remove the data plan
3) Put your SIM card back to your iPhone.

It takes about a month for them to add automatically again. So keep removing.

You have every right to use your SIM card with any phone you like.

Actually they do have the right and its in the Terms and conditions you agreed to in order to be an AT&T customer.
Even though I agree that it does suck and the customer should have the option to opt out they have all the legal rights to mandate a data plan with all smartphones on their network.

AT&T data plan

I had a conversation with At&t yesterday and they said it was At&t Law to charge a consumer for data plan on all smartphones even though consumer would have opted out to have a data plan...American "agree to disagree". At&t is near monopoly status while crushing consumer rights and freedom to chose what we want on our plan...I bet you if At&t could, they would force owners of I-Pads to pay for data plan if they could trace/track the device...
Here is a recent article that proves more customers will have to figure out the way out of dataplan...
<Many felt AT&T was using bullying tactics to push unlimited subscribers into switching to a tiered data plan. Indeed, under the old policy, customers on the verge of throttling were sent a simple text message: “Your data use this month places you in the top 5% of users. Use Wi-Fi to help avoid reduced speeds.” The message ends with a link to information on AT&T’s tiered pricing schemes. > you can find the rest of article: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012...medium=RelatedLinks&utm_campaign=MoreRecently

Thank you so much! I filed a complaint and will tell people I know who are fed up with At&t to do the same.
