Joel, you said "They can opt me into a contract that I didn't agree to", but are you sure that you didn't implicitly/legally agree to something that says they can do that? Maybe their Terms of Service?

According to the TOS, they're supposed to notify you and give you a way to cancel in 30 days. I was notified but never given the chance to cancel.

That means that you had 30 days from when they changed the TOS. Not from when they started charging you.

Oh, it is in the TOS. It's shady and I think it's dumb that AT&T does it, but he definitely "implicitly agreed" to it.
