"Estarija said he asked Verizon to restrict his son's usage to phone calls and texts, " but the bill shows his son downloaded about 1.5 million kilobytes of data with his phone. if jr D/L all that info and pops signed the contract.......why is the co. at fault?

My verizon account had to be unlocked to allow me TO download stuff ![]() They set mine up the way I asked them too. Calls and txt ONLY. I can't download ringtones or anything unless I call to unlock, then I call them to lock it back

My son has a phone (he's 12) and thankfully we've talked about what he CAN use the phone for, and everything else he ASSUMES will be considered to default to "no you can't unless you ask Dad" My step-daughter gets one this month (she turns 11) and we'll have to sit her down and make sure she understands that principle as well

But, yesterday I went over to Verizon to check out prices and see if it was worth moving to them from TMobile. They have one price for a "service" and a separate fee per item if you don't opt for that service. I don't recall the exact fees - but, it's like $20 for the month to download unlimited. OR, it's $x per whatever to download per item. It seems as though Dad didn't opt for the monthly service - and didn't understand the possible line item charges. It's in black and white when you sign up - it's NOT a surprise. What about, he should have been paying attention to what his child was doing? Maybe?

Completely exorbitant charges are the companys fault. I have Verizon because they give the best service but I also know that they will milk you for everything you own if you give them the chance. It shouldnt even be possible to rack up a $21000 cell phone bill.
