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 cow. i have virgin mobile which has always bummed me out, but... now i know why my mom makes me have it. one: i have to pay to top it up and two: i guess she knows how outrageous those bills could get. im very sorry your brother was that pigheaded not to think that its AUSTRALIA for goodness sakes. every call outside the US is practically expensive. *Sigh* you guys will get through it. i have faith. =] |
