It's the constant nickle and diming fuchdouchery.
Like the "upgrade" fee when you switch to a new phone. What is that all about?
If I pull my sim and put it into a phone I got out of network it functions just fine and there is no inability on their end to continue to charge me my contract amount.
My daughter just turned 12. Wanted an iPhone for her birthday. Not a big deal, can get her a refurbed 4 for $49 but it's the data plan that's the issue.
Right now her account is locked at the ATT network level out of everything but calls and texts.
I don't want her to be able to surf unless I am present and can supervise.
With an iPhone her account would still block access over ATT (not wifi) network but I'd have to pay for a data plan that can't be used.
Think about it, ATT, at my request, blocks data access on her phone but would still require me to pay for the feature ONLY because it's a smartphone.
