Fraud and scam

Telecommunications

We upgraded our wireless plan 9 months ago, around November and were told that the family plan that we were getting was good for our family of 5. We only had 3 phones but would need 2 more in the coming years and this plan was expandable. This was a 550 minutes plan that I was made to upgrade from a 600 minute plan that was cheaper but to add more phones I needed to go to this plan. Well, now I want to add more lines and they are telling me that I can't. That the plan is only for 3 lines. How many families do you know that only have 3 members. The company once again is trying to get more money and wants me to upgrade to another plan. I've spoken to at least 20 people at the company, from different support areas. At first I was told that this was not a problem that I could order the phone and just add it to my plan. I did this, I ordered the phone, I went to activate it and they said I couldn't add it to my plan that I would have to upgrade. I sent the phone back gave up. A month later I tried it online and it seemed to work, it let me order the phone with no problem and I called and they said it was not a problem. Again I received another phone. Again when I went to activate it they said I couldn't unless I upgraded. I've been working on this now for 2 months and finally was able to talk to someone up the chain and they are saying that I can't add another phone without upgrading. They basically switched the plans in mid stream because all of the other wireless companies are going to this format. When I said I guess I would have to switch, they didn't seem to care. Obviously, AT&T, is playing games and trying to get away with what they can.

I had AT&T long distant years ago and they didn't care about my plans back then, I had problems with their billing practices and I guess they haven't changed.
