When we added another phone to my family plan my wife did the call for it. She was asked to add another "service" that would combine all of our text and internet into a single fee for all phones on plan. Well #2 son ran up a usage of just under 100 in data alone. Turns out that the plan for all phones was NOT real and that it was for only the phone we were just adding. I was available for the phone call and I asked my wife 3 times to verify what was being added. When bill came in I didn't want to pay the fees and they removed them from the bill. Also removed the usage fee as well for that phone for my mom. She can barely use a phone, and she will not do the internet or email. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
