At&t plans expensive???

I've heard people complain about ATT plans being really expensive? Their calling plans seem pretty reasonable. I guess they may be talking about data plans? ๐Ÿ˜•

PEople fail to consider the difference between sticker price, and post tax/fee prices. When I tell customerst that carriers average revenue per user nationwide is typically within a dollar or two of eachother. Some of our data options are higher than others but when you consider the content that is available it is pretty reasonable for those who need it.

That's true. I was just wondering. My contract is up and I have just been researching other carriers. ATT has great phones but not too sure about the network...

Well, every carrier's coverage varies depending on where you live. You are welcome to sign up and try it for 30 days and cancel if you're not satisfied.

i think the 1500 msgs make up for that.
m2m is a gimmick in my opinion.
who really keeps up with who the person they are texting has service with.

and if 1500 is still not enough 5 bucks more gets you unlimited.

i think i would hop on media net a little before trying to find out what carrier all the people i text have.

I agree with you, most people don't care about the M2M in our store. They would rather have the internet or unlimited text to anyone.

OK fine, I'll do that. So you're saying m2m texting is worthless. You sell the service am I correct? If you do, you'll know a lot of people are paying an extra $5 to get the unlimited m2m texting on at&t even though they don't have to. You basically called one of your own p...

in which i said. i think 1500 msg make up for not having m2m msging.
i think m2m msging is a stupid gimmick, because who really keeps up with the service providers of everyone they text?

A lot of people do......

They already know the service providers of people they call.

Anyways, anyone who's on the $15 text package might as well do $20 and get 100% unlimited and start using mobile Instant Messenger.

Still doesn't change the fact that at&t is behind in their $5 and $10 text offerings

The base plans may be about on par with VZW but VZW isn't all that great either. Where ATT gets killed is with additional features or services. It's easy to feel like you get nickeled and dime-ed on ATT.
