Thanks Kendar for the suggested help, I honestly think you went a little hard on LordoftheReef, I don't think he/or she was trying to mislead me at all. He/she has actually been really helpful and it's true..he/she helped me get back on unlimited Data. I tried to do it on my own, but just didn't have the patience to wait and wait.. after i got the time out message. I now know what I was doing wrong. Trust me..there's no way i was going to go thu all that back and forth you went thru... Just be Happy
All that matters is that we got our UNLIMITED DATA back right??
@Thanks again "LoroftheReef!! I can definitely vouch for you...
A lil shot out to Unlimitesway too!.. I'm happy!
While I respect your opinion, I feel you are misinformed or, more likely, feel obligated to state what you did because he helped you after you paid him. All I did was point out that he was incorrectly saying that I told people to "make lots of calls." Not exactly an upstanding citizen and quite rude to purposefully misread my post. He's nice to the people willing to pay him, though
. At least unlimitedsway shows respect to others and is generally nice to all whether they purchase or not.
I had no real concern you'd follow the method I had. I'd like to think you're intelligent enough to have actually read the post rather than have taken a total stranger at his word. However, I was annoyed that after having agreed to cease discussion, he rudely references my post and in an incorrect manner. It wasn't an attempt to mislead you, but a veiled jab at me. If you read through past posts in this thread, you'll see that I am not the only one he has had a conflict with. And I admit: I like pointing out when people do hypocritical things like claiming one's experience trumps another after already having it out with others over differing experiences. It is a flaw, but a fun one
Note that I am glad you were finally able to resolve things. I just wish you had had the satisfaction of getting to do it yourself
. It's a great feeling, much cheaper, and less invasive into information you should never give out. But I am sincerely glad you're happy and all set.
I would also point out that the selling in this thread is against forum rules. Selling is only permitted in the Marketplace. I've been mostly attempting to ignore it since I know some people are just too impatient and some are willing to take advantage of that (nothing wrong with that), but it is getting out of hand. Most of the last several posts have been about selling yet another new service that I will withhold my opinion on. I would like to see this thread go back to what it should be: helping people troubleshoot activation problems, not selling activation or FAN discounts.
And, to get this back on topic and not discussing the sale of items and services outside of the proper location:
For those that are doing this on their own and are upgrade eligible as I was doing this: my experience was it was much easier to do the trick and then upgrade. There were no hiccups. There was no scoffing. There was just grandfathering me in. However, I'll caution this with the account is very old (not one AT&T wants to lose), it was off contract and able to be ended without any ETF, and I was forced to wait and actually use the iPhone so there was a bit of history on it due to this.
Obviously with all things YMMV, but I had no trouble and had I gone through the website directly, it was right there to add myself. I did do a dummy cart so I could print out that I had the option for unlimited (oh, how tempting that Enterprise unlimited with 5GB of tethering was!), printed out the data plan page where it mentions the grandfathering, and printed out press releases about grandfathering. I didn't need them, but I was quite prepared. Going through online would have been, in my opinion, much easier than any option. Only reason I didn't was that I was able to get a significantly better deal elsewhere.
I'm honestly still a bit sad about passing up the Enterprise unlimited with 5GB tethering, but I couldn't justify $60 for a service I don't need. The peace of my mind unlimited brings is worth the $5, but I don't travel enough to need the tethering for an extra $30 over regular unlimited.
