Unbelievable. You think those ninnies would have learned the first two times it happened.

This is the Bigfoot of web pages. "But we saw him this time, we swear, folks. He was real." AT&T is obviously conflicted and needs therapy.

AT&T... man, those guys sure seem to have it together. Is there any communication within their company AT ALL? To have this keep happening is amazing. Criminy. They look like fools.

Download and use MWSnap for screen captures. That is how I take screen pics of sites so that I can "show" what I saw...

This "lack of communication" within AT&T is not limited to iPhone use. If you are a former BellSouth DSL subscriber, you may be charged $7.95 more for service offerred to similar AT&T customers (unless you are just getting the lowest available speeds).

The reasons I was given included:



1. Different costs of living exist across the nation;

2. I am a former BellSouth customer and the systems have not been fully integrated, so there is a price difference (avoided if they just gave me a $7.95 credit every month...);

3. You pay a different price for gas at the same gas station based on the day you purchase gas (I kid you not they made this analogy...);

4. and others.

AT&T is not MaBell.

Now it's conspiracy time. You can't actually be this big of a screw up. at&t is just baiting the hook. "Come over to us when your contract expires, eventually you'll get free wifi."

It looks like with the return of the AT&T monopoly (at least in terms of iPhones, but total domination in the future is coming), Ernestine has returned, "We're AT&T. We don't care. We don't have to."

I hope this is something AT&T is going to do in the future...would be a great benefit since their 2G network is soooooooo slow. I downloaded the network test app from the iPhone store and it is shocking. I knew the network was slow but I didn't realize I was connecting at 10 - 20kb most of the time! Slower than dial-up :-(

Just keep this up, AT&T. Apple now knows enough about the mobile industry after having partnered with you that it can take the iPhone and go wherever the heck it wants. Just give Apple the excuse to expand iPhone distribution to more US carriers.
