AT&T Wireless FALSEHOODS WHICH LED TO A $900 PHONE BILL!!! A MUST READ Hunstville Texas

1. You can buy an extra feature that allows you to start your nights and weekends at 7 p.m., but I advise people to simply wait the extra two hours if they can. I think it's five or ten dollars, which is a little steep.

2. Incoming calls from other AT&T wireless (or any AT&T if you by Unity) are the only calls that do not subtract from your minutes. The rep was obviously thinking of U.S. Cellular. You can also buy unlimited for about $100 a month, which gives you unlimited national service.

3. Text messaging is ridiculously expensive with AT&T or any other carrier. You can buy the package of text messages cheaper if you use that many, but I'd just disable the feature if it were me. Also, if you don't use their Internet, disable that feature too. Failure to do so can cost you each time you hit that easy access button by mistake.

AT&T isn't all bad. They are sticklers for making money, but you can get quite a bit of value if you use the service within its parameters. The problem with them is a little mistake can cost an ill informed customer big money. I found that out carrying Sprint, which served as a heads up for when I switched to Cingular several years ago. Also, if you belive they'll "help you out," you're better off telling your problems to the dog. He'll listen better and give you more sympathy than AT&T. They are in the business for the money and nothing else.

Your first mistake: not buying at an AT&T corporate store. People who work at agent locations are trained very little. The first priority of the company they are hired by (radioshack), trains their employees to know their products, not AT&T's. You most likely headed right to a corporate store after feeling as if you had been betrayed by AT&T when in fact you had been duped by Radioshack. Purchasing a substantial service such as cell phone service at a dealer is simply foolish. So they may have cheaper prices than the AT&t corporate store. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! I am astounded that you would actually think that incoming calls do not get subtracted from anytime minutes. Few if any companies work this way, and if they do, it is most likely subpar service. Not reading the terms and conditions of your service is absolutely asanine. This is your fault. You did not even have to look into the legal document to find out how the minutes worked. The brochures plainly state how they work. Unbelievable. As a former employee, it never ceased to amaze me how little responsibility people take for their own foolish actions. Always looking to pass the buck. I pray other people gain something from this.
