Annoyed

I just got off of the phone with an AT&T corporate customer service rep after an hour and a half. I noticed yesterday that I was charged for $120+ instead of the $98 I was told when I bought my new iPhone at the end of December. I looked at the bill and saw that I was being charged $25/month for the new iPhone 13. I thought that was included after my teacher discount but apparently not. Fine. I also was being charged $5/month for "ChargeUp" which allows you to upgrade your phone after you've paid 50% of it off (didn't know about or agree to that) and also $12.75 per month for some subscription thing. I called corporate and after over an hour of digging, researching, and discussing it with superiors it was determined that it was for accessories. When I bought the phone I was told that there was a promotion for $150 worth of free accessories. I wound up with an Otterbox case, a lightning cable, a new plug, and a screen protector. I would have only bought the case if there wasn't a promotion. Only there was no promotion. The rep tried to get in touch with the store but couldn't so he decided to just refund the 4 payments for that stuff that I've already made and give me credit for the rest of it. I'm pissed at the store but pleased with the corporate customer service. And I have all of that stuff for free now.
