Just got my frist bill from AT&T (alot more than i thought)

[Londonrockz568]

Well it just came, and to my suprize i didnt expect it to be this much. I kinda thought it would be in the 130's b/c of the first month activation fee, and taxes but dam!:angry::angry::angry:

Thats alot for just the first months bill however next month will be fine. My Ongoing Monthly Bill is $108.16 Which is a tad higher than i calculated. I figured it would be about $98 a month. But Florida's state tax pwned my bill at $14.73 eww.

Anyone else get there bill yet?

[acosmichippo]

looks like your SMSs is what got ya... and the "adjustments".

[Londonrockz568]

Yeah, however i need the SMS if i didnt have it i would be paying AT&T alot more than just the extra 20 a month (ongoing) 31.61 (first month)

I need to find out why i was charged 23.22 for 450min then charged 39.99 for another 450min.

[BigCiX]

my plan was 700 family talk time ($129) plus unlimited text ($30) and my bill came out to be $279

[gotzaiPhone]

I did alot of changing this month too, added a phone, upgraded mine, added family text and changed my wife's data plan on her v1 and my bill was 265!!! that was for 1400 family plan.

FLORIDA why are you representing england lol

[Tex]

You beat me to it!!! I was about to post the same thing.

2 days ago, I got the WELCOME mailer, and it gave me a heads up about what the estimated first bill would be. Definitely hurts a little....next months bill, while lighter than this one, is still going to get some taking used too for me.

Ah hell, it's worth it...who am I kidding, right!?!?!

[dturner]

Those first bill will always get ya when you change phones/plans. The prorated portion because of the overlap is a real killer.:angry:

[3Guser]

Hot damn! Those are high numbers. I almost had a heart attack when I saw my first bill, I was expecting in the $80 range but got hit with $104 so I am a lot less then some of you. My monthly is $56 a month. Next month will be much better I am cheaping out on the credit card bill this month which is what paid for my phone.

[Londonrockz568]

Update... i just spoke with AT&T and they said that the packet i saw is the Customer Service Statement. Its just a overall estimate of what the bill could look like. The rep i spoke with said that the real first months bill could be around $180.

I rep london/england b/c i was born there, however i live in Florida now with my mother.

[Wiggo]

You pay a month ahead, so the first bill is for the time until the first bill plus the next month. And all rounding is in their favor. It will settle down.

[barbie]

I'm glad I'm an old at&t blue customer they don't charge me ahead of time :) also because of a courtesy credit and some billing mistakes i found I got my last bill on my old plan down to 10 bucks :D next month will hurt though I'm used to paying $46

[drsfinest72]

This may have been awnsered already but what they did was prorate your first months 450 min then charged you for the next month. With cell companies your always paying the month aheads service (minus any overages you might incur

[llrickman]

that's nice. i only get 15%.

with my wifes fan we get 24% but not with our V1 iPhones another reason we ae getting the 3g

That first bill was just an estimate it was something like a customer bill estimate. I was told when the 5th comes around the first months bill was going to be about 180ish

[projectdarkside]

Thats still alot haha!:tounge:

England rocks. Of course my family came over sometime around 1750 and my mother is a Daughter of the American Revolution... I've never got around to joining the Sons of the American Revolution but I might one of these days. :)

[Webby]

Mine was only $159 I thought it would be $215

The regular bill should be less since I will be getting my 20% DISCOUNT.

[drewatl]

Well, my bill hopefully shouldnt be high, I pray it stay below $80. Before changing phones and plans I was paying like $60. I have the 450 min 200 tx and now the $30 iphone data plan. i just got a bill for this week but i dont think its the iphone bill and its $68. So next month i guess will be the true iphone bill.

What did your bill come. A Box or same ol same ol paper envelope. Did it list very txt and web site you viewed. Just trying to prepare myself.

[kevlar08]

wow similar to last year

[blewis1984]

I actually think I'm going to return mine. $100+/month is a little steep for a cell phone imo.

[sonicwind]

Let's just say, AT&T is "enjoying" you.

[Londonrockz568]

Ok to clear a few things up, It was a Customer Service Summary booklet from AT&T. It included info on setting up the visual voicemail, what plan i had, what addons i had, the numbers you can dial to receive Min/data/balance texts. The 3g Coverage area over the USA and all the other fine print. It also showed the ESTIMATED cost chart with my first months bill and regular monthly bill.

I contacted AT&T and was told that this is just an ESTIMATE for the first months bill and that when the 5th of the month comes the actual first months bill should be closer to $180 instead of the ESTIMATED $$213.56.

Again ill state that i calculated it was going to be about 130 with the taxes and activation fee and i also calculated that the monthly bill would be about 95ish. However this Estimated Customer Service Summary says otherwise.

It's alot for a first months bill and monthly bill, ill keep you guys updated when the 5th comes.

*sidenote* and to think i got the cheapest plan and unlimited text LOL. I wonder what the peeps who got more min than me are gona pay.
