[ale] OT: AT&T data charge

[Edward Holcroft]

All

My daughter recently got a used iPhone and put her AT simcard from her
non-smartphone in - kids just gotta have an iPhone, ya know. She only
accesses data using wifi and 3G is switched off. This month I get my phone
bill and they've added a $30 3G data plan even though she did not use any
ATT data. When I queried with AT&T they said I am not permitted to use a
smartphone without a data plan, even if I do not access ATT data.

Does anyone know about this? Is this even legal? It just seems fraudulent.
Is this even worth contesting or do I choose to either pay up or switch back
to the old phone?
