Some customers of AT&T Wireless are being hit with unexpectedly high bills when their plans expire, the result of a little-known clause buried within their contracts.

Some AT&T Wireless customers are learning the hard way that the extras they received when they signed up for service, such as bonus minutes, no longer apply when their one-year contracts expire. As a result, people who think they're calling within the allotted minutes of their plan, are instead charged additional per-minute fees.

So if you are a AT&T wireless customer who's under a contract with them, be sure you know when it ends and to read the fine print on Page five of your bill. Those free extra minutes disappear one u are month to month.

I think TGG first posted about this.

Yes, I noticed this when I was looking for cell phones. For instance, the $99/unlimited plan switches to $99/1000min plan when contract expires. :disgust:

that is suck
 
yea this happened to me back in... I think 1999 when I had a 6160 with AT&T... when my contract ended, I lost all of my weekend minutes and ended up with a $300 bill :Q before that my monthly bill was only around $30 or $40. Damn AT&T!
 
holy crap, i have att wireless. thanks for the heads up....my contract expires Feb.

although i have noticed that they will give you the extra promotion minutes ontop of your existing minutes, if you extend your contract (YMMV).

I did this to get 800 anytime minutes & unlimited N&W for $39.95/mo.
 
I have never had a problem, I also understood that when I was told that bonus minutes were for the life of the contract that they would expire if my contract did. The sales people always fully explained this to me.
 
Yeah It happened to me a couple of months ago. It was a surprised to see my bill to be 200 bucks because I didn't have free N/W minutes that month. I just called and told them that I didn't notice that my contract expired. They agreed to waive all the charges if I signed another year which I did.
 

So. . . what's another good provider?

I hear they all suck to some extent these days though. :frown:
