Upgrade Mess

My boyfriend lost his cell phone & purchased an upgraded phone. He had
to pay an activation fee. He has AT?T phone service. The activation
fee was indicated in the contract.

Check your contract.

As another poster mentioned, it is stated on every cell phone that an
activation fee is required. I would think that would have been the
same for any other cell phone you had. So it is the consumers
responsibility to read what is on their cell phone.

Every cell phone user has to pay an activation fee no matter what
cell phone they get.

Most companies have a web site that you can go to in case you have any
questions. Using their website would prevent any unnecessary confusion
& hassle.

No matter what phone you pick, there is a note under each one that
says *Activation Fee Required

Its also all over the website about activation fees
