Honestly, people like this family drive me nuts. I think AT+T deserves to be paid, as the family signed a contract , agreed to their terms, and then used the product. Why should AT+T not be paid? Read your contracts, people. If you don't like the terms, don't sign the document. I see this sort of baloney every day here in automotive retail, and the beginning and the end of it for me at least is that it's the buyers responsibility to know what they sign up for. I'd bet the international rates were not hidden but rather dear old Dad never read the contract. And their comment about why didn't AT+T warn us is another classic example of consumer stupidity. Do you REALLY want corporations to look over your shoulder and second guess all your spending habits? The "safeguards" they put on debit cards are bad enough now so many folks have to literally call and ask permission to spend their own money before they go shopping ( this is always in the news around Christmas ). Corporate paternalism drives me crazy, it does. These folks do need an attourney, but not to fight the bill. The need one to explain the importance of not being idiots to them.
