Carrier Does anyone understand AT&T's math (plan question)

[scrtagntman]

In order to receive the $1000 trad in offer form AT&T, I have to move to one of their new plans. According to their compare plans web page, my two lines will cost $65 and $60, my two tablets are $20 each, and my watch is $10. In what world does that add up to $310??



As you can see, there is a 'see cost details' link. There, all the costs jump SIGNIFICANTLY and have no correlation to the previous page:



I am going to call them, but I know its going to be migraine inducing.

Anyone been through this and know the actual cost of the plan?

Which plan are you moving to?

I am on the unlimited Elite - it is 65 per phone (2 phones). I have two Apple Watches on at 10 each.

I get 10 dollars per phone discount for signature discount.

So, My phones before taxes are 130 and watches are 20, for a total of 150. Taxes and fees on top of that.

After you switch plans, there are 2-4 billing periods that your autopay discount and signature discount will not apply. Although if you open a support chat they will usually manually give you the credit

They have all kind of surcharges and fake “taxes” they add to your bill so maybe it’s including that.

I’m on Verizon paying almost $120 a month for a phone, a tablet and a watch. Sure I get Apple Music included but even if you take that away it’s still $110 a month.

When I changed to the Unlimited Elite I got an email saying my bill was going to be 300 plus....same thing you are seeing. I called them and they said to ignore that. Bill was right based on my math and not even close to that email I got....so not sure why their system does that.

Thanks everyone. It's not even consistent in the sense that one tablet is $20 and the other is $75.

I'll give them a call and work it out. It'll probably be as VineRider stated.

Thanks again.
