My $1343.92 cell phone bill

Funny | Wednesday 21 February 2007 11:00 pm

Here’s 5 easy steps to getting a $1343.92 cell phone bill:

  1. Sign up for a 900 min per month voice plan
  2. Add on the Unlimited Data option
  3. Add on 200 text message option
  4. Cingular makes a mistake and forgets to add on the Unlimited Data option, charging me 1 cent per kilobyte
  5. Become a text message fiend and send 1322 text message in one month

Result: $1343.92 cell phone bill for a single month.

Obviously there is no way I’m paying this, and have already contacted Cingular about their mistake on my data plan.  One thing I really need to do is to get a beefier text message plan :)

    Same exact thing happened to me on Verizon - except it happened THREE months in a row. They were complete morons.

    No wonder Bloglines always marks as unread. You are always updating old posts.
