I just bought a HTC Inspire 4G and I had a little problem with extending my grandfathered unlimited plan. My plan dates back to 07 and provided both unlimited 3G data and unlimited 3G tethering.
I bought the phone at Best Buy because they?re offering free upgrade protection plans right now, but while they were configuring the Inspire, it wouldn?t connect to the internet. Calls and texting worked, but no data except through wi-fi.
After two and a half hours working with the people at Best Buy and two different people at AT&T, they had to switch me to an unlimited 4G plan. But this caused me to loose my unlimited tethering, AT&T does not offer that anymore. My tethering is now limited to 4GB of data a month and the cost of my monthly bill went up $5. I?m not angry or anything, the people at Best Buy and AT&T were very professional and worked hard to find a way to get the Inspire to work and keep as much of my previous plan?s abilities as possible. I just wanted to share in case someone else with a plan like mine decides to upgrade.
