Starting tomorrow, AT&T is planning on raising their upgrade fee from $18 to $36.
In an e-mail sent to media outlets, AT&T confirmed the fee increase, saying “Wireless devices today are more sophisticated than ever before. And because of that, the costs associated with upgrading to a new device have increased and is reflected in our new upgrade fee. This fee isn’t unique to AT&T and this is the first time we’re changing it in nearly 10 years.”
The change in the upgrade fee comes just a week prior to the Verizon’s $2 billing charge.
Those examples may be the reason that AT&T provided so little notice of this price increase. The the increase will already be fact by the time many people hear about it.
