You're welcome.^Thanks mate,
ATT is not on my favorites list. I upgraded a basic phone without data for 15$ a month to my 'smart' windows phone. The guy said at the very least, they 'must' charge me an extra 20$, and I am forced to accept a data plan. I bought the phone from windows store, not them. My only mistake was buying an ATT phone...
There were like 2 plans I could choose from, which is not customer-friendly. They have gotten so big that they care more about money than people-pleasing, which makes me want to switch carriers. This update dilemma does not improve their stance in my mind.
I've never liked att for their RIDICULOUS monthly rates that literally are the modern definition of highway robbery. I've never liked them for that, the idiotic delays in updates EXCEPT for ios, and the recent screw up of the Lumia 1520 where they ripped out the wireless charger (as it's a competing standard than theirs) and only 16 gigs of on board storage. It's nice that they were the only initial adopters of Windows Phone, but they've become SUCH a hindrance to the adoption of the platform as even when Verizon released a couple of Lumia variants, they ended up becoming the largest carrier for Windows Phone. att's service is a bit less stellar than Verizon, their customer service sucks, their rates are gouging, and they have no oomph for Windows Phone.
Which is why I went to the extent of installing a French ROM of Windows Phone to move the last bit of att's horrid vestiges on my phone. I have mine used as a prepaid smartphone, pay 45 dollars a month for pretty much unlimited everything (except data obviously), and uses att's towers without att's cost. I just thought it was so stupid that even though I'm not an att customer, I was getting screwed over by them with updates...
