Wireless Phone Bills

[D'Artagnan]

Sooooo, anyone ever have any problems with your cell phone bills before?
I really really hope they messed up on mine this month, its ugh, $467.81.

It says I'm being charged 391.00 dollars for 7 mb's of internet data usage, when I hardly use it at all.

WTF!!!!!

[jdrock24]

Ouch! That hurts. Did you e-mail some big files? Those cell phone companies will charge out the ying yang for email/internet access if you're not signed up for their internet plan.

[ÜberDork]

$391 for 7 MB? That is criminal. Call up customer service and ask to have it either removed or adjusted.

[darklighter1]

Whoa! that's what I pay for mine in like six months. I think people are WAAAAAY yo addicted to cell phones. The more shit they add the more expensive they get well I suppose that's common sense). I just use mine for making the OCCASIONAL call or business. I see people walking with other people down streets and instead of talking to each other they're both on cell phone calls. It's crazy man.

I pay a little over $20 per/month for 2MB of data for my BlackBerry. For every MB extra I use on top of that they charge an additional $20. I can't see 7MB of data being the reason for that kind of money - thats like $55/MB.

Who the fuck is your carrier? Satan? :D

I dont even have a cell phone...if people wanna talk to me that bad they can call my house phone ...if im not there they can leave a message.

[Mr.T]

tell 'em it's for SG·1 and you need a break!

I have no problems with my cell phone bill.
My phone uses pre-paid minutes.
I paid like $160 for a year of service and 800 minutes and am charged at a rate of $0.25/min, so have incentive to keep my conversations short.
Last year I bought 350 minutes and it lasted over 6 months.
If I wasnt to talk to someone for a long time I use my Sam's Club AT&T calling card and use the phone at work after work hours.

It is so great not having to pay a monthly phone bill anymore.

[D'Artagnan]

wow, ok, yeah i'm going to get something done about this. you guys are right, it is criminal. I personally think they missed a decimal place somewhere and fuck the dog on this one. as some would say.

[tommykhu550]

ouch!
i think they should make an adjustment and review why they charged you so much

I thought I was the only one in the whole wide world, (or the universe) without a cell phone.

[RAZORMAID]

Mine is pre-paid as well, so I don't get fucked like that.

Plus, since my provider is getting heated competition from Digicel, they 'double-up' on the prepaid rate. Meaning pay for $10, $20, $40 etc and they double it for free. Digicel has a great offer though...talk (and pay) for 10 minutes and the rest of the day is free. So I got another phone specifically for Digicel too :D

[carlo_scute]

that's a bit outrageous.

[jw3]

first of all what phone plan are you on? is it sprint, nextel?

and i thought most cell phones with internet have an unlimited plan option for an added fee per month.

I'm using blackberry unlimited for the pearl 19.99. you need to switch carriers, but i don't know much about data options. you might really need the 7 MB.

[Junkboxy]

..Yeah, what provider is reaming you?

My first guess is Cingular. My second guess is Verizon.

I'll put in a short oo-rah for T-Mobile. Had them for four years. Never a reaming. Always consistently about $33. Customer service has always been real too - that's an unexpected plus.
