AT&T Welcomes Back Customers (Without Fees)
I thought I'd let everyone know, that if you're like me and leave AT&T (for network issues/problems) to go to Sprint well watch-out! Sprint has buried in their fine print not only Government Surcharges (which is normal for any carrier to charge) but Sprint Regulatory Surcharges (which under law, Sprint can charge - its pure profit and runs $13-$19 per month per subscriber, depending upon your plan). I signed up, got my bill and saw these fine print charges then saw that on 1/1/2010 they're raising their line fees another .40 cents per line - another rip off. So under the law I canceled my account without a Early Termination Fee (ETF) as they caused a material breach in their Agreement (which allowed me to leave). I went back to AT&T, I w...

Congrats on going back to the network who would die if the iphone ever leaves...lol. Sprint is not the greatest but I will take a .20 hike over paying what att charges anyday of the week.

I dont know why everyone is saying att network is crap. I have had both a blackberry 8310 on att and a storm with verizon. If att's network is so bad, then why do I drop more calls with my storm? And why was my edge on my curve faster then my 3g with verizon? I constantly only have about 2 bars on my storm. I have also had the i phone and I did drop calls with that. The i phones radio is terrible. I could hold my curve up next to the i phone and would have 5 bars on the bb and the i phone would have next to nothing. That, in its self tells me its the i phone and not the network. When a phone is as popular as the i phone and so many people drop calls on it, I guess it is natural for people to assume its the network, but its not. I wish the i ...

Then, perhaps you should have replied to the original post, rather then a response to a response?

$13 to $19?
Your range is greatly off.
Try less than 3 bucks on the low end.
