<article> <section class="page"> <p> Joining AT&T is about to get more expensive, thanks to a new fee on the carrier’s contract-free plans.</p><p> Starting August 1, new subscribers to AT&T Next will have to pay a $15 activation fee, regardless of whether they buy a phone from the carrier or bring their own. If you sign up for a new line of service with Next, you pay the fee.</p><p> For now, existing Next subscribers won’t face any new fees, The Verge reports (http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/21/9011255/att-raising-activation-fees-august-1), and AT&T has yet to add any fees when upgrading to a new phone on the Next plan. However, AT&T’s website no longer specifically says that upgrade fees don’t apply, as it has in the past (https://web.archive.org/web/20150106063842/http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/next.html).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2951481/networking-hardware/atandt-adds-an-activation-fee-for-new-next-subscribers.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: AT&T adds an activation fee for new Next subscribers (http://www.macworld.com/article/2951481/networking-hardware/atandt-adds-an-activation-fee-for-new-next-subscribers.html#tk.rss_all) |
