ATT Next and CR

EaglesFan2006 — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:44:09 GMT

Does the ATT Next program (the new phone each year deal) report to credit bureaus? I know there's a credit check, but wanted to see if it shows up as an account line on reports

No, it only reports if the deal goes sour.

Are you an existing post-paid customer? I don't think they need to do an inquiry if you are just renewing / re-extending your current contract. I may be wrong though

Ahahaha exactly the same for me! Considered getting my own line, but I told my mom that as long as they'll grandfather the unlimited data on her account, I'll be under that account forever

You sound like my kids! They are both on the unlimited plans and will NEVER leave my plan.

Same here. We are grandfathered in on unlimited data, and will never leave unless they decide to stop offering that.

I Was On Unlimited Till They began Offering Mobile Share. I Couldn't Deal With The Speed Reduction That'd Completely Cripple My Phone.

Anyway, can Anyone Confirm What Type Of Credit Check It Is.?

I also switched from my grandfather unlimited plans. The throttling was ridiculous. They would always do it some where between 2 and 5 gigs and my spouses phone was always useless after the first couple of weeks. After much anger and complaining, only to get no where, we switched our plan and are actually able to utilize more data while staying in the same price range. Apparently, they are supposed to stop offering upgrades on the grandfathered lines and the only way to get one will be to switch the plan. The crummy part is that I now have to check our usage a few times a month. I refuse to renew our contract now and I am even thinking about switching to one of the no credit check carriers that still offers unlimited.

My spouse used around 40 a month. He was always using data, between gps, Sirius radio and whatever else he can find.

Wow. No wonder AT&T and others are throttling the data speeds. You guys use a lot of data.

When I had the unlimited AT&T data plan on my iphone, I'd only use 2-3 gb at most. Nowadays, I use about 3 gb a month since I'm always out and about and I'm paying for the 3 gb plan. I use my computer with fios for everything else.

I use about 10 gigs and about 10k messages...
The messages are attributed to you folks ;-p

They only throttled my like the first few months they stopped offering unlimited. Since then, I never get that pesky 5% warning and my LTE covers it all. I never really have slow downs. But that throttling biz was irritating.
Iirc, I think I sent someone a mad email
At ATT or voiced my opinion on a survey, kind of how I did when my Crapple Iphone 5 messed up this past weekend. Lol
