We have been loyal customers to Cingular since March of 2001. But now, it seems, they are not loyal to us.
Our plan had a monthly service fee of $19.98, with 250 minutes plus free nights and weekends. Pretty good plan, that was paid on time each month, just like loyal customers should. Perhaps not a lot of minutes for some, but perfect for us.
Then in July of 2006, they added a monthly network service charge of $4.99 per line for each TDMA or Analog line of service on the account (we have two lines). While we were not pleased, we remained loyal customers.
I upgraded my phone, then went to the AT&T store today to switch from TDMA to whatver the current network is (I don't care as long as my phone works). Imagine my disbelief when I found out I would have to sign up for a new plan! One that costs MORE, and with LESS minutes!

I have the same issue as Kim W.
