Does Amazon.com really charge you $250 if you change something on your plan after a cell phone purchase?
Basically I can get an upgrade for my phone cheaper from amazon with an extention of my contract. But you have to purchase this PDA plan which I really dont need. And further down the line I am going to add another line and switch it to a family plan. I really want to know if someone ever was charged this fee for changing there AT&T account or knows.
Thanks in advance!

What all that means is, they’re giving you the phone $250 off on the agreement that you serve the entire term of your contract. It’s so you can’t just cancel it and end up with a free phone.
