    AT&T quietly jacks up monthly fee for iPhone 6 upgraders

    You have to just love how some companies try to spin the fact that they are, indeed, screwing the customer.

    http://www.cultofmac.com/296669/att-...ract-upgrades/

    From the article:
    "Some AT&T customers upgrading to the iPhone 6 received a surprising text alert this morning saying the carrier has hiked the monthly “smartphone access charge” to $40 for anyone renewing a two-year Mobile Share Value plan agreement. Naturally, the carrier waited until it was swamped with an unprecedented amount of iPhone 6 pre-orders before telling customers they’d be paying an extra $600 over two years — nearly enough to buy an unlocked iPhone 6 outright."

    And:
    "AT&T apparently failed to mention the change to customers until pre-orders were already on the way, and the carrier’s Mobile Share Value webpage obfuscates the details by listing pricing terms prior to 2/2/14 and 3/914."

    Maybe it's time to switch to Verizon. If they require me to get rid of my unlimited plan to upgrade, it's worth a switch. AT&T's coverage around here is the pits, and the have less bandwidth available for calls than Verizon does.
    Please direct all questions for me to the forum so that all can benefit.
