If I understand the pricing plan correctly I will be charged $20k or so!
I have a hard time believing that I could have sent 4 GB.
I contacted a service rep on my return (the next day) who could not find any unusual activity and said that no excess usage notification had been sent by AT&T.
Anybody have a similar experience?
How do I fight AT&T if it comes to that?
Why don't you log into your AT&T account and check the date/time of your data usage? It will show you when the activity took place, and there is no way you could have used 4GB in just 15 minutes. AT&T charges about $20/MB when roaming - 4 GB would come to about $80k.
