WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!
First it was the Future US president, now it's stupid AT&T games. I am honestly scared right now. I'm starting to wonder if I've been in a coma for the past 10 months and it's April Fools again.

I love the weird sense of humor that the Joystiq team has. It makes me giggle like a school girl.

Are you sure you didn't mean 'jiggle' like a school girl?

You meant that you know a schoolgirl, and when she needs to find some information for homework, you'll willing Google for her, right? Right??

Speaking of tethering, I just posted a video on my blog showing how you can unlock the feature. Pretty cool. Someone has a PHP script up, you hit the site, download the profile and it works. All you need is an iPhone.
So at least one of these games can be a reality. ;)

Why are they so retarded with texting? If you don't pay the 30 dollars monthly then it's 15 cents every time you make a text or receive one and if you have a lot of idiot friends that shit adds up...

I used to have AT&T, switched to Comcast even with the cap.
AT&T made me pay for really expensive internet when they weren't giving it to me, while Comcast ended up being cheaper overall. I've never experienced throttling, and I torrent gigabytes per day and I've never gotten close to the 250gb mark. So the cap isn't really a problem unless you're crazy.

as it stands i hate caps but I can live with 150 gig a month. One good thing is this week they moved the 10Mbs up to 12Mbs without raising the price across the board. I was looking into the 18Mbs but I really don't see where I would benefit from it unless they start putting caps on the service then i will go for the top to raise the cap as high as possible. Right now I just need to get un lazy and run an HDMI cable throught the attic to the TV so I can stream Netflix from the PC and what ever else I want to pull up on the PC then my bandwidth consumption will go up but for right now Im pretty good with the proprosed 150 gig cap. I wish we had Fios here :(

Haha...Yeah, along with the fear of dropping and breaking an iPhone (biggest klutz in the world), the main reason I didn't get one was the fact that in my experience AT&T is a terrible service, with all of the above games bundled with their ridiculous fees. Funniest part of this though? Do a bit of research, and you will find that the iPhone, before release, was initially shown to Verizon (my current provider), who turned it down.

AT&T works perfect for me. i dont understand why everyone rips on it when i along with everyone else i know that has AT&T has never had a dropped call and i live in chicago. actually come to think of it the only time when I had dropped calls was when my girlfriend threw my phone at a wall

Ive never had a problem with At&t & ive had it ever since the cingular days. Verizon is the one that you should be making fun of. When im out with my freinds at parks, beaches, or camps in the middle of no where there are alwyas at least 3 bars on my phone & my freinds with Verizon have no service at all. I say "So where's that Verizon Bastard now?"

Another vote for AT&T as the worst mobile phone provider.
I recently moved to a highly populated NW Indiana and I had no signal at home, and spotty about 10 miles around it. Constant dropped calls, no 3G half the time. Did I mention friends and family with Verizon, TMobile and Sprint are all fine at my house? T-Friggin-Mobile people!

When I had Verizon, I'd send a text message, only for my friend to get it hours later. My friends would text me, and I'd receive the same message 30 times. I'd get voicemail alerts when my phone never even rang. I had six defective phones in a little over a year (I never even dropped any of them!). I called the Better Business Bureau and was able to escape my contract without paying the termination fee.
I can and will rip on AT&T for not giving me MMS until whenever they feel like it, but at least they're not Verizon.

THANK YOU. You're 100% right. AT&T is far from perfect, but after having Verizon, it's a joy to use. At the very least their costumer service is better than AT&T who's idea of customer service was practically "yea what, what is it this time?".
Their phones broke, we had the same voicemail issues, calls not going through but voicemails coming in hours later, and some of the rudest people helping us ever imaginable.
I'm glad I made the switch. Say what you want about them, but if you ever were a Verizon or Sprint costumer, AT&T is like the holy grail of cell phone service.
