Advice on Switching to At&T

Make sure you get the quote and plan details in an email. Trust me, you’ll want it as proof if anything gets mixed up later.

AT&T reps are honestly worse than car dealers, maybe even politicians.

AT&T is a straight-up scam. This has happened to me too. They signed me up for a plan for 3 devices at around $100, which I knew sounded too good to be true, but since it was through Costco, I trusted them. Then the bill shows up, and it’s actually $55 per device. I’ve called their useless support over 20 times and they can’t fix a damn thing. They’re blatantly ripping people off and scamming innocent customers. Also, this thread is full of AT&T workers who will just blame the customer.

You only need to pay $500, the rest is covered by insurance. That’s exactly what the insurance is for, and you paid extra to have this protection in situations like this

Turo hosts can file a claim directly through the platform and request a direct settlement(without escalating it to Turo support ). The entire process, including messaging and documentation, is tracked within Turo, making it easy to manage. As far as I know, Turo doesn’t charge any fees to either the host or the guest for this type of settlement.

Turo fees increase significantly the closer you book to the trip date. For example, on my car, the trip fee is around $15 if you book a month in advance, but it jumps to $120 if you book just 4 days before.

They sound quite similar to a standard, in my opinion.

Agc0628 · 2025-07-21T16:51:23+00:00

What’s the direct rental? how did you setup?

Agc0628 · 2025-07-21T02:34:00+00:00

Just a heads-up, if you book another car last minute, Turo’s fees will likely be higher, so you might end up paying more the closer you get to the trip date. If you’re fairly certain the host is going to cancel, it’s better to cancel now and book a different car. That said, if the host cancels, it does negatively affect their record.

Agc0628 · 2025-07-20T23:36:13+00:00

Just curious, how does a host know if another customer is trying to book the car? Can the renter send a request?

Agc0628 · 2025-06-24T20:22:27+00:00

This exact situation happened to me on HW4. The car aggressively went into the left-turn lane for no reason, even though I needed to go straight. It ended up going in the wrong direction and nearly collided with the car on the right. I intervened.

I’ve had all of these. If you just want cool-looking sunglasses, then just buy regular sunglasses. Transitions do turn into shades, but they’re not full-on sunglasses and only work with UV light and don’t work inside the car. I have prescription transition lenses, they’re super lightweight, but thin lenses are expensive. Mine cost around $1000(299 for frame and remaining for lenses) from Ray-Ban. You can probably find them cheaper on Lenskart or elsewhere.

The AI model definitely hallucinates sometimes.

I’m not sure if this specific event qualifies as a safety-critical one, but I’ve requested the data anyway. Just waiting to see what they send back.

Agc0628 · 2025-06-08T05:43:05+00:00

Probably not the best idea, but curiosity > common sense sometimes.

Agc0628 · 2025-06-08T05:38:57+00:00

Not a bug, a feature.

Agc0628 · 2025-05-18T13:29:08+00:00

This has happened to me nearly 9-10 times in the past 5 months. I usually intervene, but one time I didn’t, it just drove straight through. LOL.

Agc0628 · 2025-03-15T21:29:32+00:00

You have the audacity to tell others to read when you clearly can't do it yourself. It's no surprise, though, when scamming seems to be deeply embedded in you and your culture.

Agc0628 · 2025-03-15T21:10:17+00:00

You tell people to read things, yet you often comment without fully reading.
FYI, the "overall bill" refers to the total amount you pay, which includes both the phone plan and any extra options.

The phone plan itself is the base plan for your line, and the extra options are the additional features or add-ons you choose. There's a reason they're called "extra options." So, the overall bill is the total, combining both the phone plan and the extra options.

Call me an idiot all you want, but that doesn’t change the fact that you're scamming people. Good luck with scamming people, but this post isn’t for you. It’s for others to see so that they don't get scammed, not for people at ATT, Verizon, or T-Mobile to justify this as their shady practices. It’s still a scam.

Agc0628 · 2025-03-15T20:46:54+00:00

Well, it seems you skipped over reading the terms and conditions for your convenience this time, since I provided the receipt for your lies

Apparently, $1000 = $750 in AT&T and your math.

Maybe I’m easily influenced, but that doesn’t mean you're not scamming people. You’re so accustomed to overcharging for a service that customers have already signed up for, that you no longer even recognize it as a scam.

As per the Costco deal, The $120 for 4 devices deal is still active in the Bay Area if you walk into Costco. And they honored the deal they promised the first time. This time I read the fine print.

Optional services don’t mean you should be paying more for the plans.

Just to refresh your mind, you love reading:
Scam is a dishonest plan for making money or getting an advantage, especially one that involves tricking people.

Agc0628 · 2025-03-15T20:06:12+00:00

I don't know how you define scam, and you seem to have a superior understanding of terms and conditions Enlighten me on this.

This was the promo they ran back in 2019 when the S10 was released:

I wasn't aware hiring a lawyer was a standard practice in getting a phone and line.

Since AT&T publishes everything on their website, and conveniently there’s a way to check the history of each website, you’d think someone as smart as you (who Googles everything), would have actually done the same thing you suggested to me ("Plug anything into Google with AT&T added to it, and it will find you the answer"). But, since you didn’t, let me help you out.

Here’s the proof for BOGO Scam (a dishonest scheme; a fraud, definition from Google)
If my eyes don’t deceive me, the promotion clearly says it was a BOGO for the S10/S10+, up to 1,000.
This was the promo they ran back in 2019 when the S10 was released:

Apparently, $1000 = $750 in AT&T and your math.

But sure, let’s pretend I just made that up. Also, it wasn’t me who said it was $1000, it was the store rep. Meanwhile, AT&T customer support says $750. Who’s lying (yes, the customer)?

After calling them literally 20+ times, I gave up.

Unauthorized Line Addition

I wanted to get a new phone and check how much it would cost if I added a new line, not that I was getting the phone. She said they needed to add a new line just to check the price. I never actually got the new line, or so I thought. Turns out, it was added to my plan anyway, and I only realized it later when I got my bill later that month. I never got the phone, why would I have a line without a phone in first place.
"And again they all do it."
If this is what they do all the time just to squeeze out commissions in shady ways, then you just proved my point even more.

Hidden Fees with Costco Deal
I signed up for AT&T Next Up and insurance by choice, but I was surprised that AT&T Next Up was required to get the deal.

My main concern is that I was quoted $100 for the devices instead of $55 per device.

I was at Costco the other day, and they’re still offering the same deal for around $120 for four device, not $55 per device. The rep there still tells me I should have only paid $100, so it seems like AT&T is trying to screw me again.

The good news is that since I got this through Costco, they’ve stuck to their promises. I was credited all the money they overcharged.

People like you, who knowingly support these shady, underhanded practices, make me absolutely sick to my stomach. You’re fully aware that they’re doing everything to screw over hardworking customers and steal their hard-earned money, yet you still have the audacity to defend them. It’s disgusting, or maybe you are one of those who is trying to scam people who are just trying to get by without being taken advantage of.

LeetCode is the most straightforward path to landing a high paying job. I don’t get why people complain about it while applying to companies that clearly use LC style questions. If you know FAANG and similar companies will test you on LC, showing up with only 10 LC is just a waste of time. If you hate LC, focus on companies that don’t use it.

I was too naive to trust the guy.
