AT&T - Jumping through HOOPS to remove a dataplan!
Data plan - Complaint
Review by frank311 on 2012-11-30
Rating: 
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- My daughter moved on to another wireless service (man she is smart) and I suspended her old line on the web. I called into AT&T to discontinue her data plan and was told that I would have to give them a non smart phone IMEI to discontinue the data plan on a suspended line. (THE LINE IS SUSPENDED) So now we have contracts on phone lines and data plans separately. I'm sure that I will find a old phone somewhere that I can use to cut the data off, but should I have to offer that much of my time to a company who is already getting more than 200 bucks a month from me? The greed from these companies is unheard of, totally amazing. The day I can leave these guys without paying them a cent to disconnect, I'M OUTTA HERE!!!

It isn't that you have contracts for data plans but some phones (like the iPhone) REQUIRE that they have a data plan attached to it. If you do not want to be bothered, then don't! But it will save YOU money if you put an old phone on with limited data capabilities. You can also use an old T-Mo phone. You can get either nearly free on eBay. You can then go down to the lowest and cheapest voice plan which is $40 I think. Just remember that 10 months of that is $400 - more than the term fee! Personally, if it is a high-end smartphone, I would sell it and offset the cost of the termination fee.
