Tiranofice Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 hi, i saw on youtube and stuff people receiving a 300 page iphone bill. they complain about the details, but i wonder, what do you get to see? do they show the actual messages? or only the date and the time they were sent? and do they include the phone numbers of the people you were sending to. does anyone have a preview of such a bill? i am interested in the iphone, but since my parents read my bill because they pay it, i won't be having any privacy, am I? i don't want them to know how many messages i have sent to someone, and especially not the hours. that would really be an arguiment of NOT buying an iphone to me. example: the bill is in, it says phone number 0xxx-xx xx xx 100 messages, of whom 50% were sent during time i was supposed to pay attention at school. i mean, my parents would ask after and track down most of the phone numbers, my girlfriend would track down most of the phone numbers,... it would be bloody hell to me... could they really see every single letter i have sms-ed? plz give some info a 16 year school boy, who DOESN'T want to be controlled by "the goddammed adult people who are freakin tryin to redesign my lifestyle" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61052-att-phone-bill-for-the-iphone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I think ATT gives the option to be able to see what/when numbers were called/messaged. They won't be able to see what you said though. But that's with any phone with ATT, not just an iPhone mind you. Those details are optional though, I think they have to ask specifically to receive bills that include those details. So it's really about convincing your parents to mind their own business. BTW, I think you can get bills like that from almost any provider, not just ATT.

Tiranofice Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 i am not with at&t and all my current bill says the total amount of calls made to a certain number, no dates or hours. and just the total of messages sent, just one number (mostly 1000 a month) that is fine, but even now they (and especially my very jealous girlfriend) try to track down every phone i called more than 3 minutes to. REALLY FRUSTRATING Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61052-att-phone-bill-for-the-iphone/#findComment-433613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtualball Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I got my bill two days ago and it doesn't give anything away. All it is is "Data Transfer 4 kb 0.00 Charge" and so on I downloaded 1.5 gigs and I didn't get charged extra Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61052-att-phone-bill-for-the-iphone/#findComment-435455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK.Xscape Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I got my bill two days ago and it doesn't give anything away. All it is is "Data Transfer 4 kb 0.00 Charge" and so on I downloaded 1.5 gigs and I didn't get charged extra it doesnt really matter anymore, anyone who has an iPhone knows they got a text a few days ago saying that they are switching our bills to just a statement and that all if you still want to see the detailed bill you can do that online.
