Weird? No. Dishonest and unethical, yes.
Concerned about the amount of data a Treo user consumes, they created an artificial difference so they could jack up the price. I was on the cheaper plan, which I signed up for years ago. They tried several times to get me to switch to the more expensive plan. When I wouldn't, they took me off that plan without my knowledge or consent and put me on a very limited data plan with huge charges for overages. You can bet I was plenty pissed when I got a bill for over $3500. If my economic situation hadn't changed drastically at that time, I would have dropped them like the molten, malodorous, radioactive, toxic potato they are. Since I had that economic downturn, I'll have to wait a few more months before I kick those thieving bastards to the curb. ...... Original Message .......
