I knew it was coming and when I received my bill (via email) from AT&T this morning, there it was- the $36 upgrade fee from purchasing the iPhone 5s from the Apple store. I tried searching the net for ways to see if there was any successful attempt in getting this fee removed or credited back to one's account; however, they all seemed dated or unsuccessful. Ever since AT&T implemented their Mobile Share data plans- no concessions were going to be made for the individual plans (since that plan doesn't have upgrade fees). I bit the bullet and called and asked. They explained that since I was on a corporate discount account, changes were made and this fee couldn't be removed. The associate did explain that she would see what she COULD do vs. what she COULD NOT do. She ended up crediting me $50 after taking a look at my payment history. (There were other prorated charges from when Apple mistakenly put me on a $65 corporate 5 GB plan-.) I pay early and ahead so I'm sure that helped in that decision. I just couldn't see paying a $136 cell phone bill. My bill is usually $87. Anyone else have any thoughts on this issue?
