      ATT Filters Own ToS Changes As Spam

      Red Tape Chronicles reports on how AT&T internet decided to announce a change of its Terms of Service (ToS) via email. Some of the policies were contentious enough for some, but then many customers didn't even receive the email, because AT&T's own filters marked it as spam. Its questionable whether you can announce you're changing someone's contract by email fiat, especially if your own system prevents them from even receiving the message in the first place.

      The national wireless carriers have responded to the Senate's request for information on why its text-messaging fees have doubled over the past three years.

      AT&T Says Your Jesus Phone Can Be In Three Places At Once, So Pay Up

      Wow, those iPhones really are amazing. Chris' iPhone can make a call from Nicaragua the same time it's incurring a data roaming charge in Mexico—all without leaving Chris' side in the U.S. Some skeptics will probably just say there's a problem with AT&T's records, or the phone's SIM card was cloned or something, but AT&T believes. That's why they want Chris to pay that bill each month it keeps happening. More »

      Cellphone Companies To Promote Unpopular Social Networking Services

      Verizon and AT&T have jumped head-first into the shallow end of the social networking pool. The companies will charge consumers up to $35 per year to access unpopular social networking sites, a feature they're respectively billing as "SocialLife" and "My Communities."

      Congress Asks Wireless Carriers To Justify Text Message Rate Increases

      This week, Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI) asked the top wireless carriers—AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile—to explain why they doubled the cost of sending text messages over the past 3 years. They have until October 6th to respond.

      The similar price increases, coming at similar times, Kohl said, "is hardly consistent with the vigorous price competition we hope to see in a competitive marketplace."

      The $19,370 ATT Phone Bill

      You really got to be careful when using cellphones or wireless data plans internationally, otherwise you'll end up racking up $19,370 on your AT&T AirCard like this American kid did in Canada. It would be nice if they made some kind of warning system that said hey, you're spending several hundred times what you normally do, are you sure you want to continue, but then again, it would also be nice if a cupcake appeared on my desk right now.
