T-MOBILE HAS BEEN OVER CHARGING ME FOR MONTHS. EACH TIME I’D CONTACT THEM ABOUT THE OVERSIZED BILL T- MOBILE WOULD CONSECUTIVELY RECOMMEND A NEW PLAN. IT NEVER WORKED. December 24, 2008, MY CELL PHONE BILL BEGAN AT $55.00 @ MONTH . APPROXIMATELY, 30 DAYS IT DOUBLED. UNTIL IT REACH $300.00.AND CONTINOUSLY KEPT GROWING EVENTHOUGH I HAD OBTAINED UNLIMITED SRVICE PLAN. EACH TIME I’D CONTACT THEM ABOUT THE OVERSIZED BILL THEY WOULD STILL FIND SOME WAY TO INFLATE MY MONTHY BILL.I DID BUY THE CELL PHONE FOR DAUGHTER WHO IS A COLLEGE S. WAIT A MINUTE! SHE RECEIVED HONORS AND AWARDS. SHE LIVES AT HOME. THERE IS NO WAY SHE COULD HAVE THE PHONE ATTACHED TO HER EAR THROUGHOUT HER CLASS TIME. THERE WAS NO BLUETOOTH.
FINALLY, I REALIZED THAT CHARGES WERE BEING ATTACHED TO MY T-MOBILE CELL PHONE BILL THROUHOUT ALL HER CLASSES EVERYDAY THROUGH THE SEMESTERS AND EVEN WHILE SHE WAS ASLEEP, AND WOULD BE GETTING DRESSED FOR CLASS. IRONICALLY, THE MOST CONVERSATIONS SHE HAD WAS FAMILY AND WHO HAD SAME PLAN AND WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO THOSE DAILY EXTREME CHARGES. WHILE SHE WAS SITTING IN CLASS THEY CHARGED HER FOR A CALL TO CHINA TO A STUDENT WHO WAS SITTING RIGHT NEXT HER. HELP , PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS!
