AT&T does Turn-by-Turn GPS on iPhone, bills you later

missing town

It's funny that it costs so much when I can't seem to find any businesses in my parent's town. There are simply no tax collectors, ACE hardwares or grocery stores. Funny that I drive past like 10. Garmin, tom tom and google can find them just fine, but at&t's navigator seems to have a blind spot. It's incredibly annoying. I don't need the navigator in my town, so why have it at all?

Well, I'm off to find the remove button in my online account.

Come guys it's not that

Come guys it's not that hard. Your telling me that you can work your IPhone but you don't know how to add/remove the service through your online account? Really?!? It takes less then 1 mintue. The Telenav service has always been a subscrption based service, and the fee has always been $9.99. Learn how to read guys, it's the 1st thing, on teh 1st line of the description. You either buy it or your don't and wait for Apple to release a GPS that fits "just your needs". And for god sakes stop the crying, the violin is getting played out. Sheeesh

This is nothing new. I used

This is nothing new. I used telenav's product when I had a BB. Now I have an iPhone. It was a pain to cancel when I had on my BB because then the only way to cancel was to call TeleNav and wait on hold for an hour or so, then be transfered 6 or so times.

At least now, I only have to talk to one person ATT.

AT&T's Navigation Pricing

Yea, Hi. I'd just like to say to all the people defending AT&T or Verizon for that matter that sometimes their ideas to squeeze people financially (Nickel & Diming) can backfire in their faces. I own an iphone 3G, and have been waiting like crazy for a turn by turn navigation app. WHY in the world would I pay $10 per month for something I might only use every so often. I mean, I know my way to work, to my friends and families houses, the food store etc. Think I'll forego the whole Nav on the phone thing, buy myself a Garmin (best in the game) 255T for $150 and be done. Hmmm...$10 per month, $120 per year, 2 year iphone contract $240. Nahhhh, but thanks so much anyway. Hopefully Tom Tom has the smarts to be a significant player.

I fail to see your point

I fail to see your point Seth. AT&T offers this subscription based service they do not require you to pay for it. Or are you just b*tching because you had a beef with them that sounds to be your fault.

As always what makes America so great if you don't like AT&T go some where else. By the way it took Verizon 14 months to fix my FIOS bill that was their fault.

Talk about misinformation...

It is really a shame that a piece like this is really written in the first place. Dale actually said it best. It doesn't matter what carrier you are on or what phone you use, Telenav is available on all of them and its a subscription based service, always has been. How somebody can ignore 'Subscription based service' and acknowledge its ok to bill and then turn around and bash the carrier for being sneaky is beyond me. Regardless of your opinion of AT&T or any carrier, if you are going to complain about something, at least make it factual and not base it on your own mistake. Sounds like the writer just has a beef with AT&T and wrote this as an attack and showed a poor lack of judgement and ahem, intelligence. This is how misinformation can hurt. And it applies to any carrier or any other business for that matter. Shame on you Seth.
