I got an $18 credit by telling them I was thinking of switching an T-Mobile is offering $1 set up cost

I don't support this at all. It's sad that it's being added and I really hope that something happens and it gets reverted back.

Yes I realize that you only pay that once every 2 years, but AT&T doesn't need to be paid $36 for me to take the SIM card from your old phone, and transfer it to your new one.

At least it's not as bad as Verizon trying to charge $2 for every time you pay your bill. Even if you pay it online.

Is this even a concern if you pre-ordered? My upgrade fee amount is on my pre-order. In my case it is $0 because of my FAN account, but if you have a receipt that says $18, I doubt they can turn around and charge $36. If they try, I would fight it like crazy.

Definitely double check your bill as well, sometimes FAN's with waived upgrade fees don't always waive automatically and have to be manually done via business customer care.

If you bought it off Contract like me you don't have to worry about this fee.

That's what I thought. My account was showing up $36 last year already. Stores was still charging $18. Of course, I ended up nighty my gs2 of f contract.
