Toast dropped me a note today, said they have to swap out my gateway for a new one in order to support the new lower rates. I called them and chatted for a bit; Steve was very pleasant. They will set up a truck roll for this.
I find it interesting that this is "to support the new, lower rate". Hmmm. Steve made it clear, this wasn't optional.
Also: I asked if the existing settings from my existing gateway would migrate to the new gateway. I remember seeing this mentioned here not too long ago, and someone said that yes, that would happen in the AT&T world. Well, Steve told me I would be setting it up all fresh again, with no migration of my settings.
Does anyone know, is the migration of settings for an AT&T customer a real thing like I think I read here lately? If so, that might be a function of the AT&T system the AT&T customer is in. If I don't get that benefit, then I'm most certainly not an AT&T customer at that level.
Anyway, if they're going to this expense to replace a year and a half old gateway that works fine, my guess is that everyone will get this, they will change their systems around internally, and bypass will be off the table way sooner than later.
