I was told about the 40.00 initiation fee and the 10.00/month, but the sales jockey also put 30gb of data on the account! As of today, I have made calls for four months trying to get the extra 195.00 off of my account. Now am down to calling the regulatory franchise authority. My service is suspended and I owe over 400.00 in late charges. I will NEVER use at&t again.Kim in Tennesseenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-61332978902212654632016-07-04T14:58:37.813-04:002016-07-04T14:58:37.813-04:00The same thing happened to me Shame on them.

They told him he was getting a free tablet and now we are having to pay these fees every month. AT&T is nothing but deceptive. I'm moving to another company ASAP. <br />annettechambliss2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/18297630901455757627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-7919371450065108912016-04-07T20:59:54.821-04:002016-04-07T20:59:54.821-04:00Would it be categorized as a bait and switch?Would it be categorized as a bait and switch?Workhttp://dailytwocents.com/treat-perioral-dermatitis-calendula-cream-work/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-61340954600158050612016-03-22T14:33:05.221-04:002016-03-22T14:33:05.221-04:00Yes, the "free" tablet had a $10 charge ...Yes, the "free" tablet had a $10 charge for 2 years, but it also had to have its own new line, and this added up to a total of $75 a month for something free! I called as soon as my online bill posted, and I was able to return it with all fees removed and no restock. Probably because I have been with them for 8 years with five lines.

Never a mention of an activation charge or monthly fee. <br />Of course, the bill arrives after the 14 day return period.<br />Bait and switch - deceptive - insulting - poor business ethics....the list goes on.<br />Sad, because I've been a customer for over 15 years!<br />Waiting for AT&T to call me back to resolve this matter. <br />Verizon here I come!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331361569911408612.post-87844447757213694822015-04-24T11:54:17.062-04:002015-04-24T11:54:17.062-04:00Were you able to return the tablet and get your mo...Were you able to return the tablet and get your money back? Same thing happened to me and by the time I got my updated bill and went back to return the tablet they said because it's been after 14days, I would have to pay for restocking fee and early termination fee for the tablet account. I really want other people to know this is a big scam thru AT&T. The store clerk NEVER explained about additional costs. Like you said If the deal sounds too good to be true, be aware and read all the fine prints before you sign.
