WTF was that charge all about? They charge me $15 for a full price iPhone. I paid full price for it. I shouldn'pay any upgrade fee. I'm not even doing anything with my current plan. This is ridiculous. IRATE.
Got a tip for us?

Oh. They are getting a call from me. I spent $1000 to buy the phone outright from Apple. Nothing is changing with my plan. All I am doing is taking my current SIM and moving it. Exactly what AT&T is doing to deserve $15? Also, if my phone is locked that will be another call.
They don't have to activate shiii. I can pop my sim right into it.
Took the words out of my mouth... Tell me what you do if u get lucky. I'm calling them too.
It is why I hate dealing with ATT. The got to nickle and dime you to death.

Why didn't you just order it from Apple if you were going to pay full price?
May want to check out some of these threads. Some are a bit dated, but may have some useful info. They're ordered from most to least recent.

Seriously, Nicole is why I went to Verizon. She's the freakin' worst!
Sorry, man. I couldn't pass it up.
Guess what I did, and I always get my devices from apple nowhere else.
The fee is absolute horse poop. I paid off my phone and entered into a new next plan...there's nothing to activate on their side.
This is my third next plan. This has never happened before
It wasn't on the invoice from Apple but if I see it on my next phone bill, I'll politely call ATT and remind them that T-Mobile does no such thing (hint hint).

I mean the unlocked version. They're all the same and should work on AT&T. The one that says "T-Mobile Sim Free". Don't let AT&T get over with that bogus charge.

What ever floats your boat. Get out often?
Even my bank of which I have multiple accounts with rather large sums of funds in charged me $3 to look at a deposit slip on my online account. The banks have to image this stuff anyway, the idea they would charge me $3 to look at it ticks me off!
Seems to be the norm these days.
I really think they all are.
I was recently intruiged by J. Legere's latest "uncarrier" ideas of cancelling ETF's, etc., so I wondered over to T-Mo's website to have a look. The amount of "Yeah, but's" was astounding. You've seen for yourself how many ask about cancelling with Big Res or Ma Bell, but then when they see the swath of stipulations, they politely decline. Then there's the issue of 2G data in my stomp in' grounds. Oh well, the price I pay.
OK so I just finished talking with an AT&T agent and she was nice and understanding. so basically what she said was there's no $15 charge showing under my account at this time but she noted on my account that if there ever was a charge that it should be waived. She said that my account shouldn't be charged because it wasn't an upgrade or it wasn't a NEXT plan and it's paid in full price. I'll wait and see.
It's gotta be nuts today and the system is most likely swamped, and your account my not even show it yet. I'd wait.
