AT&T Rips You Off With 'Mobile Backup'


I have to give it to Doug Aamoth of Crunchgear. He goes on a rant about something that I feel very strongly about, getting ripped off by AT&T and other cellular carriers. Doug touches on how AT&T is going to charge for a service that should be standard. The 1.99 a month for a software called Mobile Backup that stores your address book that is in your phone, so if it is lost you can recover all the numbers and information.

Mind you that this will only be available on 6 phones at first from AT&T, and it isn't cross-network compatible. A service like this should be standard, and it certainly shouldn't be something that is charged monthly for.

Check out the rant here, and read the AT&T release here. [AT&T press release via Crunchgear]
