I started looking at the charges and I was being charged for text messages. Some of them were $9.99 and $19.99 charges under the text area and even some for $29.99. Well, there it is. I have unlimited texts every month. I mean sometimes I will send/receive over a hundred a day. So I call Nextel Care.

Of course I am all giddy because they have made an error right? Well, to my surprise they didn't. The guy on the phone is looking at my bill and tells me that most of the charges are from third parties. I'm like wtf? He says that although I may have unlimited text messages, the texts I am sending and receiving carry additional charges. Basically when I send a text to get my horoscope, they are registering me for some subscription for $29.99. I've sent out hundreds of those texts you see on tv. Now I'm pissed. moreso at these companies that don't tell you that you are being charged so much to get a fricken joke or something everyday. I tell the guy that I have unlimited texts and I should be able to send and receive all I want based on my text message plan.

He asked me if I knew that when I sent the original text did I know I was signing up for these subscriptions. I tell him that I have sent out texts to get my horoscope, jokes, love tips, whatever. I get them all day long pretty much nonstop. I never knew they were gonna charge me a seperate fee. I mean a text message is a text message is it not? Now the guy tells me there isn't anything Nextel can do. They aren't the ones charging me. What the fuck am I supposed to do with a cell phone bill over 7k dollars? I can't pay it. At least not all at once. Is there another way to dispute these charges so I don't have to pay?

Tell them to try to sue you and see how far they get with that. Tell them you are not going to pay it and never will. Tell them to write it off and you'll do business somewhere else. Contact someone as far up as you can go and file a complaint with the FCC. Also make sure they know that you are going to tell everyone you know what kind of scam you have running and to not do business with them. A company should be aware that a phone bill like that is not right and should have noticed it right off and contacted you. Tell them you are going to post on every forum you can find the name of the company and how you were treated. Tell them to eat the bill or else and hang up.

Does that include the long distance phone sex you and Tackleberry have with each other?

LMAO. That is BEYOND the most ridiculous "advice" I have ever seen anyone give. The charges ARE valid. He subscribed to those companies, and they are an outside source, NOT the cell phone company. Why would THEY have to write it off? He is using THEIR cell service. What he does with his cell phone and what he subsribes to is his own business. Why should his cell company eat up a portion of the bill that has been generated due to 3rd party services?

Because, they aren't going to take him to court, they may drop it or they may compromise. You are the customer. If a bank notices odd things about your account they contact you. So should the cell companies. Otherwise its' obvious they are trying to squeeze money out of you. Do you think they should notice something to be odd if your cell bill went from $30 a month to $7,000? No, it wouldn't hold up in court.
