For years, we suffered at the hands of ATT's draconian rule because they were the only one we can get the iPhone from. But it was not just the bad signals, dropped calls, and lies but it was also the stupid charges here and there.
My credit card was compromised back in December. It was also used for auto-pay for our iPhone accounts as well as our T-Mobile plans. After reporting suspicious activities on there, all charges to the card were stopped.
Now, maybe it was my bad that I didn't update the information with all the companies I use that card to make payments with but all of them were understandable about one missed payment that was quickly rectified once I received e-mail notifications.
Except one. You got it. Our iPhone overlord, ATT. Not only that, they proceeded to charge me $40 for some kind of penalty. Seriously, WTF?!
All I know is that we're moving away from ATT for all things. I'm happy with my WiMax access and my security company can use other means to contact my home security system. Adios, ATT for home use. And certainly, ATT can say good bye to our business lines. I am just itching to call them up and rid my life of this horrible company.
And I am sure a lot of my fellow mobile users are the same boat. And you know what, we might just see some preview of the mass exodus when Apple releases the iPad 2 next week. We'll see how many people sign up with Verizon instead of ATT. It's too bad because I really like T-Mobile and I would certainly move our iPad plan over to T-Mobile and cancel my ATT access.
Because ATT sought fit to screw me over $40 for a late charge that no one else is, they stand to lose over $55K in combined services over 12 months I've gotten rid of and and will soon be. In the grand scheme of things, it's not much to a multi-billion dollar company but the thing is, I'm not the only one.
No matter what Wall Street is saying about ATT's stock, I, for one, will not be buying into it in the coming months.
