Attention IPhone owners…this call might save you $30 every month - 03/08/10 08:41 AM
AT&T lowered their nationwide unlimited calling plan to $69.99 from $99.99 per month. If you’re on this plan, you have to let them know you want
the lower price. Apparently they don’t feel everyone would prefer to save $30 every month so they’ll keep charging you the higher amount until you ask for the lower price.
I found this out when I called AT&T because of a discrepancy on my phone bill. I ask if I hadn’t called would they have automatically lowered my monthly bill and they said no because how would they “know” I wanted to do this.
Let’s see save $30 … (2 comments)
