Oh.. Well doesn't that just stink

[Avarice-ness]

So I found out what my lovely cell phone bill will be!

1,016.84$! =D! >=/

When I went to get my husbands phone added to my plan and what not, I told the Cingular guy to take unlimited texting off. Well, when I gave Bruce the phone, I checked on the phone internets to see what our plan was and according to that it says (and still says to this date) that we have unlimited. So as most people would assume, we still have unlimited.

I'm hoping to god that our paper bill comes in and says it's unlimited but then shows charges for the texts so I can fight it because, damn that's lots of money.
I do accept that if it doesn't say unlimited and we got charged, that's our own fault for believing a clearly not updated plan thingy on the internets.

So, what has happened to you recently to make you just go "Man.. that just sucks"? Or "Man.. I knew it. =/" in a not so happy way?
Did you have this feeling that you would fail a test and then really hope you'd pass it then find out you failed?
Talk about times like these! Everyone has one!

Why didn't you ask/call Cingular to fix the problem before it got out of hand?

Because the phones in my dad's name and every time I've tried to do anything with it they tell me I'm not the owner of the phone and the plan owners gotta do the junk. e e;

My dad's to freaking lazy and blames the fact he's in another country for the reasons why he can't call them.
I've accepted the fact that my husband and I prolly screwed up though, I'm just hoping that maybe some good will come out of it. I'm such the optimist. =x

Wow, you must text nonstop.

I knew this chick had no interest in me as a person and was just using me for attention but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and a chance to prove me wrong

We all know how those stories end though

$1k for a bunch of texts?

Remind me to avoid using Cingular.

Eh, that would go for any company really. If you don't have some form of a text plan, and you're getting charged for each text message individually (both the ones you send and receive, keep in mind, and is about $.15-$.30 each now with most companies), it adds up pretty effing quick.

I mean, that'd be like getting charged for each message you send and receive over msn/aim/yahoo. It wouldn't be hard at all to rack up $1000 with that. In my case anyway.

Well, the current situation with my girlfriend makes me say "Man, this really sucks". Her dad hates me for some stupid reason, and I think it'll destroy our relationship

Apparently this is exactly what happened, because when I told him the bill was so high and what not his first reaction was "I used MSN - a lot -" not only that but he said he'd clear out at least 400 texts from me a week.

I got a ticket ON MY BIRTHDAY for going 80 on a fairly deserted road out in the middle of nowhere.

Such because I honestly don't think I was going all that fast. If I was on a regular highway in the city, or in a residential area? Sure. But who doesn't at least go 80 on a wide open road in the desert that has very little cars on it in the first place? Plus, I requested that my ticket be transferred to my local court, in case I wanted to fight it, but the Officer refused. And I'm pretty sure that Officers are legally required to make the change if a driver requests it, but he refused to change the court venue making it so that if I wanted to fight the ticket, I would have to drive 3 hours out of town to do so. And it was my birthday. What kind of bastard of a cop gives a ticket to someone on their birthday?! Plus he was mean and rude.

Kinda crazy. I really think there should be a limit on how much they can charge. Its what, 20 bucks for unlimited text? How much can they possibly be losing if they don't go ape on charging you? Had you paid the 20 bucks you'd be charged... 20 bucks. Not paying it, you should be charged... 30? I mean seriously I know the rules but if you'd paid 20 and sent that many texts they wouldn't have a fit. Not buying unlimited, what's their justification? Its a stress on the network? Yeah freaking right. Its all the same. Just different packaging

Too many cell phone companies get away with charging hundreds of dollars unjustifiably. Overages are one thing, but they act like its their only source of profit and are seriously over profiteering on it

Oh it gets even better. When I originally got his phone I said I wanted to move over to a family plan, come to find out -I- have an individual plan and HE has a family plan, and -I- have unlimited messaging and he does not. So not only did we get screwed from the messaging but we have two different plans, and not only that, but the plan he has is more expensive and the only person he talks to on his phone is me! So instead of having the nice family talk plan of like 59.99+ tax for two phones, we get 39.99$ (plus unlimited messaging but I took that off) + 19.99$ for my phone AND 50.00$ for his phone. I don't know if retarded people work over there, but WHY WOULD YOU WANT ONLY -ONE- PHONE COVERED BY A FAMILY PLAN?! One phone on a family plan is just a more expensive individual plan. Honestly, jesus christ.
