Terrible! Tweet it make it viral! Post it on att official forum. Then tell em you're dropping att and going prepaid with other company
I think you hit the nail on the head. Its quite obvious what some people will do to avoid paying their fair share (free data plans for the masses - let the rich pay for or internet - sounds like something out of our illustrious leader).

Greydarrah, would you possibly extend an explanation of just what ATT sucks? And, just how do they suck it?

AT&T does not support the Nexus 4. Their system does not recognize the IMEI. AT&T considers it an unsupported device. I know this because I took mine to the AT&T Store to get it activated.
There is no reason for AT&T to do this that is consistent with logic. The support any supportable device. They allow MVNOs to lease time and sell SIM cards to them to sell to their customers. The reps you are talking to are full of it.
at&t is by far the worst customer support company I have ever dealt with. They are why I moved to tmo.
That is just partially correct. There are ways to get only data sims and use them in your phone. I was able to successfully do just that and with AT&T to be precise.The only reason the phone companies accept MVNO is because lawmakers forced them too. I can't call up any phone company and tell them I only want internet. Despite your logic, they would rather not have my money. The only power a consumer has lays in their choice to do business. When that choice is removed it becomes something closer to government. The 3-4 choices we have for service in this country do in fact do everything within their ability to prevent you from using a device bought without them.

This was the case for the first month or two after the Nexus 4 was released but AT&T has since fixed that issue.AT&T does not support the Nexus 4. Their system does not recognize the IMEI.

Did the OP ever fully explain the situation?
I am still not understanding what happened. So you have unlimited data on AT&T and all of a sudden AT&T stopped allowing you to make voice calls?To respond, unlimited data grandfathered in. Not sure why this happened but it did. The issue is fixed for now.

No business (well, generally speaking, anyhow) wants competition. In general, they all want to be monopolies. The only reason we have more than one phone company (and for all practical purposes multiple players in the big industries) in this country is due to government action, specifically the Sherman and Clayton anti-trust acts (and others here and there) and the executive branch activism of Teddy Roosevelt and others.The only reason the phone companies accept MVNO is because lawmakers forced them too. ...

There is no solidarity among consumers; if there were, we would not have these sort of problems. Those of us who choose not to go along with the status quo simply drop off the radar, not just of businesses, but evidently of our fellow man as well.I can't call up any phone company and tell them I only want internet.

Ah. So that's why Samsung and LG and HTC and Sony haven't all merged.No business (well, generally speaking, anyhow) wants competition. In general, they all want to be monopolies.
