I also have verizon and they recently tried to charge me with 1000 dollars because i was apparently calling someone who wasnt in my friends and family too many times. When I checked my detailed bill the number that I was apparently calling was one who I had never seen before...Damn you verizon >.> you need to fix your network someone is obviously lurking in there...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dash323]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 15th 2009 6:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Gets $10,000 Cell Phone Bill]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</guid><description><![CDATA[ For that mistake, after being told everything would be taken care of, then over drawing on the mans acct: the phone company would provide me a life time of free phone service. A cell phone can't even hold that many songs or movies.<br>Get real, how many days or weeks would it take to download 1000 songs even if it could hold that many ? <br>I got my bill out as soon as I read it. It was right $125.53 total, for 3 phones.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Missy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 15th 2009 8:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Gets $10,000 Cell Phone Bill]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</guid><description><![CDATA[  This is typical for verizon billing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[plankton81]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 15th 2009 9:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Gets $10,000 Cell Phone Bill]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</guid><description><![CDATA[Lets assume the phone had unlimited storage, and was plugged into the wall so the battery never died.

I had Verizon several years ago.  I found I did not have service anywhere close to where I lived.  I called Verizon and was told they would cancel the service and the only charges I would be responsible for is the minutes used.  Two months later I get a bill for early termination fee.  I called them and explained the situation and was told it would "cycle" out by the next bill run.  Next month the same thing....the placed this charge on my credit.  When I called them about that I was told even if I paid it they would not remove it from my credit.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[aladyinsc1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2009 5:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Gets $10,000 Cell Phone Bill]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is the sort of thing that makes me very happy that I have a prepaid cell phone - no more nasty surprises, no more phone bills. I now have a Tracfone Straight Talk package which is really great because i get 1000 minutes, 1000 texts/MMS and 30 MB of data for $30. When I calculate the rates it works out to 2 cents per minute, 1 cent per text and the data is free, I'm never going back to contract again.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenny Milingtow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 20th 2009 5:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Gets $10,000 Cell Phone Bill]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/15/man-gets-10-000-cell-phone-bill/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is the sort of thing that makes me very happy that I have a prepaid cell phone - no more nasty surprises, no more phone bills.

Made the switch to StraightTalk, which still runs on Verizon Network but I'm saving lots of money and no more surprises. For $45/month, I get unlmited minutes and texting.
