Cingular & At&t Breah of Contract??

Question

I heard that Cingular was going to up their rates or did up their rates for text messages from $.10 to $.15 and that this was going to be breach of their contract. I was wondering if this was true and if i would be able to get out of my contract.

Answer 1

This should not be able to be used as method of removing yourself from the contract. If you really push, they will credit you the extra five cents a text message until your contract expires.

However, you won't even have to worry about being charged the higher rate. Prices change all the time and they almost always grandfather it in. Meaning that new customers would pay the 15 cents while existing customers will pay the ten cents.
