I was going to shut off web access on my phones when I got them, but it turns out MMS messages (which I’m paying for) don’t work if data access is turned off.

But now that I have iPhones that particular issue is mostly moot, thanks to the mandatory unlimited data plans…

Same thing here, Dan, and with AT&T.

I also had to clear off lines and lines of services that I didn’t order or authorize from my first bill after I renewed.

Theft, plain and simple.

And because of this blatant theft supported by AT&T and other carriers, I have shut down web access on all 5 phones on my account.

You should probably start by calling your cell phone provider, Thelma If you’re with AT&T, just dial 611 and that will connect you to customer service without using your minutes.

This kind of reminds me of how in the early 90′s third-party long distance companies used to just “take” customers and the local phone companies weren’t doing any verification so you wouldn’t realize you had a different long distance company until the bill came.
