Re: yeah....more prepping for billing by the byte

I'm not saying you cant do it, I'm saying ATT will soon prevent you from doing this by making everyone pay by the byte.

So instead of billing by the kilobyte they are going to bill by the byte? That seems like a step backwards.

Unless they plan on doing away with the unlimited MEdia Net packages...I don't see how this is feasible. In the past my Unlimited plan has always been grandfathered, so they better not start billing me by the byte.

The surprise already dropped. People whose terms of service prohibit the use of MEdia plans with PDAs and data cards (mine don't) are getting letters and are being forced to switch to the appropriate plan.

They've been preparing for quite some time, making their systems more aware of what phone is actually being used, rather than just what is listed on the account.

they only send out letters to those serious abusers. They have nothing in place to track what phone you have. it is virtually impossible because they would have to keep track of IMEI numbers for PDA phones they dont even sell.

That is no longer the case, sadly, although it was until recently.

ok, whatever you say chief. I know what I'm seeing here and its not letters from ATT.

I'm not, either, but I've been a customer long enough (and on the same plan long enough) that my terms don't prohibit using MEdia Works on any device I like.
