AT&T Increases Activation Fee to $40
Let us discuss the reason behind this further.....
They are REALLY trying to make people switch to Next. It IS FAIR. You only pay so as often as you upgrade - if grandma Eleanor keeps her phone for 3-4 years, she was ALWAYS paying full retail for the phone on the back-end. After the 2 years, everything else was profit for the company - did you seriously think a company could take a $450 hit on a device and still swim?
People, realize, your contracts were nothing more than full retail to begin with. At least this time around, if you own a device and want to add it, it only cost $15 (usually). As long as you aren't a data hog and can use WiFi to do your Netflix and porn, you'll be fine - and even then, you only watch 5 mins of porn so you'll be okay.

I love the girl analogy!!!
But everything you wrote is true! I have AT&T and I am really impressed with not only their network but their customer service. I had Verizon for about 9 years before switching and although their network was good, it just wasn't that good where I lived and traveled. Their customer service was decent but not like what I am experiencing now with AT&T.
I love that we as consumers have many choices for wireless carriers but for my money it doesn't get any better than AT&T! In fact, we just added a new line to our account and because I owned the phone (thanks to my buddy for giving me a FREE GS3) I was able to set it up without contract and not pay the higher contract prices.

in addition to your statement, with next pricing. it makes the billing more fair to people that don't buy the newest phones and doesn't make them pay more than those that do buy flaships.
