I got a bill today that says i needt o pay $115!!
now my plan is the regular one with 1500 text messages and it should be $85...
how come it jumped up to 115?
i remember when i had 1st g iphone, the first bill was 136.. but after ti was regular... why is it like that?

if you upgraded then its most likely the activation fees and the new data plan is 10 dollars more and the text messaging is not included anymore with the data. if you are still on the first gen then you probably went over something. the new 3g iphone is 30 bucks a month plus text($5,10,20) and voice

Yeah, but didn't they directly charge us for that when we bought the phone?

Don't forget about taxes. The state and fed government gots to get their piece of the pie.

lol, on top of that, I left another phone company so I had an early termination fee for switching to at&t. This month is killing me!

My bill was $180 for July... That's $30 more than what it normally is. I read through it carefully and noticed the $18 upgrade fee, and that they decided to add texting on 'for me', and prorate it too. I was so pissed! First off, no one told me when I purchased my iPhone 3G that an upgrade fee would be incurred. Then the auto adding of texting was the icing on the cake. After a few minutes on the line with CS, the fee was credited, as were the texting charges. Just goes to show ya; Always examine your bills! Some companies will 'auto-add' features, or will just not notify you of an increase of rates on a certain package/feature. The sad part is that most people just go "WTF?" and pay it. Others, like myself, don't stand for companies that try to nickel-and-dime ya. Beware guys/gals...
