Why the hell shouldn't companies be allowed to charge however much they want? It's called business, you make profit to pay employees and yourselves. If people are willing to spend x amount, charge it. Or would you rather they charged a lower amount and cut jobs?

Charge what they want? Yes.
Predatory rate schedules? Improper consumer protection in accounting? No. This isn't rocket surgery. It's business ethics 101.

Could a reasonable person have expected the consequences of those actions to render that outcome?
That's what would be asked if it goes to court. And I think the answer is no, a reasonable person could not expect that to happen.. |

Go here: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.html Log in and change settings. It took me 5 minutes last time I restricted text messages and data. Verizon should have said something, but if Verizon wants to hold the man accountable to all of his dependent's phone usage then I'd hope the government would back Verizon. My guess is that I'm going to be the one to take the hit for this once Verizon and Dumbass negotiate.

I can't believe anybody in here would defend a $21,000 phone bill as acceptable. And then denounce the guy as an idiot.
![]() You know damn well Verizon's contract makes the data charges as indecipherable as possible. I don't have one in front of me but expect it would read along the lines of: if you opt out of the $60/month unlimited data service plan, you will pay a per use fee of $0.001943/kilobyte. Now, forgetting that you know what a kilobyte really is because you use the internet every day, what sounds like the better deal if you don't plan on using data much if at all? How exactly should this guy, while standing at the Verizon counter with pen in hand, research what a kilobyte is and how many his son could be charged for when accessing an average web page? I guarantee everyone in this thread crying "he signed the contract" has, more than once, agreed to terms without crawling through it line-by-line. Even if you did take the time to read each one of them, you wouldn't understand them anyway. But go ahead and condone a $21,000 utility bill for him, he's just some guy you've never met, right? I bet the same people will cry about how the world is full of people that only care about themselves next time one of those threads come up, too. |

Verizon's unlimited isn't really unlimited, is it? Friend of mine says it's capped at 5GB/month (although this is a laptop card, not a phone).
