The CSR also told me that AT&T could not go into my account and check to see what the activity consists of as far as net useage, he told me it wasnt legal. So, basically, there is no way for them to find out exactly what was done that i am being charged for. What if there is a bug in the billing, and there is no actual info as to what I was doing to run up "useage" charges. How would they know that? Since ive obvioiusly been told something false about blocking my internet for my phone, I have no idea anymore. I think the CSR honeslty didnt know what he was telling me was false.

If the billing cycle isnt over then that means you havent been billed for a month........legally the cellphone companies arent allowed to tell you what youve been billed for if it hasnt been posted to the account...

meaning......if January 1st is the beginning of your billing period and it ends on the last day of January. you can make phone calls and use the internet and text out the wazoo.......all they can tell you is how much........on February 1st they can legally tell you the dates and time of your data sessions and phone calls and messages. But usually its not for a couple days after the billing period is over because it doesnt post right away........

now.....AT&T also offers a "No Browse" option where MEdia Net doesnt work but IM and MMS and Email all still work......thats a possibility......if you did that and that stops all the charges then your good.
