I've been an AT&T cell customer for about 5 years now. I'm off contract, and I never moved to Cingular because they always wanted me to pay reconnect fees for my family's three phones. I went into the store to find out about the new plans and told them I might want to get an iPhone.
What they said was that my phones [which are GSM] are running on ATT's old cell towers and old network which will be "dismantled" some day [didn't say when] and that I could move for $18 reconnect fee per phone but I'd need to get all new phones w/ the new contract. I've used our gsm phones in Europe and never had any problem w/ them. Is his giving me some kind of line about the old cell antennas? [or, antenni]
I'm grumbling because I don't think I should have to pay to "reconnect;" as a longtime customer, you would think they would want to keep me????
