jtval 0 #1 April 23, 2008 SO I got this ridiculous bill in the mail. $443 for a PHONE BILL. I said that same thing you just said. WTF? I didnt get an itemize list of calls but "I SWEAR I DIDN'T MAKE THAT MANY." My calling habits haven't changed since Feb. So I call 611 and ask them to help me figure out WTF my bill is so high. They told me where to find my itemized list and sure as shit, I made those calls. all $443 of them. I could pay it off, but I am closing on my house in a few days so I dont wanna make any crazy payments. I explain that as I ask to set up some sort of payment plan the guy says well since you've been a customer for so long and have not missed a payment I can knock the payment down to ....(types in some numbers and says) $282. SWEET, I said CAN I PAY THAT NOW. He knocked off $160. Sure some of you will say if you haggled more he may have knocked off even more etc....but I will take that 160 discount as a lesson to stop calling my friends. LOL Actually, I did upgrade my plan so I should be all good from here on out. IF you had my number before and want the new one PM me for it. Check your email/ Text messages first I am going to send out a mass TM from MSN. I am thrilled that AT&T actually HELPED me .My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyskydiver 0 #2 April 23, 2008 Glad to hear they worked with you. I can say that AT&T won't get my business when I come back stateside. I've been a customer with them (AT&T/Cingular) since 1997 and asked them to put my number on hold (willing to pay $10 a month for them just keeping the number for me) or change my number over to a pay-per-use phone so that when I'm back on vacations, I can use my phone. They told me either pay my full monthly bill - when I wasn't going to use the phone at all - or they couldn't do anything. So, as of tomorrow, my phone with them is off and I won't go back to them when I come back. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #4 April 24, 2008 Quote Actually, I did upgrade my plan so I should be all good from here on out. Just call all your AT&T member friends during the week, and your non-AT&T friends on the weekend. That way your bill will NEVER go over its minutes. Even minimal ones. (and if your non-AT&T buds complain, get them to change over! ) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
