So my brother, 18, has been using the phone a LOT lately. Last night I found out that he's actually been calling some girl in Australia. I didn't know about this or I'd have said something, but he told my mom that he was just using regular anytime minutes. When I found out about this, I flipped out and showed them the Cingular site where it had the rates listed (upwards of $3 per minute!). This prompted my mom to check out her phone bill. The grand total is so unbelievable that it needs to sit on its own line:
SIX. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. My mom's credit is already bad enough, so this is a nightmare. I'm gonna have to go with her and take out a loan so she can pay the bill, and I honestly don't know what's gonna happen to my brother. This is insane. |

Holy crap, Dani!! Six thousand dollars!? I can’t imagine running up a bill that high. The highest I ever ran mine up was a few hundred over for calls to Boston. If I were your parents I’d make him get a job and pay for it all. He’d also being doing every chore I could imagine AND have no phone privileges for a very, very long time. I wouldn’t ever be able to do that to my mom, she works so hard to pay bills. Your brother, although I’m sure he’s a swell guy, needs a crash course in responsibility.
