So I logged onto my account tonight, and found that 1 day after my billing cycle started again, I have an overage. I have 1389/1400 anytime minutes available, but I have an overage. 1 minute on my wifes line, and 2 minutes on mine. A call to ATT resolved nothing. They said it should just 'go away'! Riiight Ive been around long enough to know a charge just does not 'go away'! So I guess ill have to wait until the end of this billing cycle to fight it. Or...maybe it will just 'go away'!:wink:

I would call again and speak with someone else. Although I think you are correct in that ATT will do nothing until the bill comes out.

Check for international calls that may have been billed as "overage"

Thats what ATT told me, but neither myself or my wife make intl' calls!
Is it a minute overage or a message overage?
If it's a message overage, you get charged this by sending to or receiving from anyone who's not in the U.S.
If it's a minute overage, ask them if it's possible somebody international called and rang your phone, at which point it could be billed as an overage.
They're stupidly over-general about these things on the billing site, and it's really rare to find anyone at AT&T who knows what they're doing to find out the real details.

okay but don't you have rollover minutes? We go over our anytime minutes often but we have the rollover minutes that takes care of that.

I've had this same problem. Last month, I switched online to a larger calling plan. When the billing cycle reset, all of my voice minutes went to overages, even though my account was freshly reset to full minutes.
I called CS several times. Their response was similar: "it takes time for the computer to reset the minutes at the end of a billing cycle. Please wait 5 business days and call me in the morning!" After about 3 days, I checked online and the overage charges converted over to minutes of use.
Lesson learned: keep track of your usage and stay on top of CS.
Billing makes a mistake every now and then, and customer service in my experience is fairly easy to deal with when such a thing happens. I just corrected my bill by $40 because I was billed twice for the unlimited data/messaging when I should have only been billed the difference between the $30 unlimited data/1500 messages and the $40 unlimited. They brushed off the extra $10 difference for my troubles.
My advice would be to do what they say and wait for the bill to show up, and then call so they can correct it, if anything.

Yeah, I must say each time i've called the ATT reps were very nice. I guess it is the thought that I am showing a overage that bothers me. As of this AM, I have used 1 of 1400 anytime minutes and 87 overage minutes. The last gal I talked to said it should all be fixed by Friday!

Well it seems everything is back to normal, for the most part. All the overage minutes are gone and my anytime minutes are being deducted. However, now all my rollover minutes are gone.Unless they are not suppose to show up with the rest of your minutes. One thing after another.......
The rollover minutes are not shown with the regular minutes, they're a separate bar.

Right, but there is no separate bar. When I talked to ATT Tuesday, she said they would show up below all the others(AT, NW, M2M ect) but they are not there.....

Have you recently changed the account in any way, such as adding more text message features or changing the rate plan?
