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. |

The only thing I can recommend is to not keep it over his head for very long. I'm sure he feels very guilty. If he doesn't, your mom should tell him he has to leave for a month. That would teach him some sort of responsibility andshow him how precious a skill money-conservation really is. Also, obviously, never ever give him another cell phone, or make him get a prepaid tracphone. I honestly feel for you. My brothers a fuckup too.
