*yes i spelled that wrong*


i just got my phone bill in the mail and i was outraged. it said i had used 200 minutes over my allowed amount of talk time (300 min). i barely ever talk on my phone. its usually just text messaging. so i went online and checked my account. it said that on my new bill i had so far used 340 min of talk time in 5 days!!!
i really think something is screwing up.

this ever happen to anybody?

just don't pay it.  generally avoiding problems usually makes them go away.

there was a guy here who's friend had a $16,000 bill, but i'd just call your provider. you can prove you didn't make those calls by lookin at your phone

wow that sucks but phone companies tend to do stuff like that. one of my friends had a text message that was real expensive just because it was going from MA to CO but he sent a bunch of them and only one was really expensive
