Really? $60 a month is reasonable? What about $65 or $100 a month? Or what about $20 a month? Who determines what is reasonable? You?

How much it costs the company to send the data is not necesarrily the point (it still costs to upkeep the infrastructure). The guy signed a contract and decided he didn't want the data plan. Sorry that the guy is a dumbass but he signed it and agreed that if he downloaded apps, music, games, etc that he'd pay for the data transfer.

None of this would be a problem if the father bought a data plan (even if unlimited is 5GBs then the kid would have been fine) for a little extra. Or better yet if the father took responsibility of his kid.

I don't believe the father's story of "I called verizon to have them turn it off" but if he did and they charged him then I'd side with the father. Until then, I want the government to hold him up to the contract he signed unless Verizon decides out of the goodness of their hearts or a coin flip to waive the fees.

By the way I suggest children's tylenol for you.

Well what if they decide to raise their rates to $21,000 a month? Who's job is it to determine what their plan is worth?

Ideally? Angered citizens with torches and pitchforks by the hundreds marching to Verizon corporate headquarters.

Why not march over to T-mobile or AT&T?

Angered citizens with torches and pitchforks will be stopped by police. Angered citizens going to T-mobile will hurt those "Fat cat CEOs" more than threats of violence.

Seriously dude, seriously? (pssst, contracts and other bullshit)

The torch and pitchfork approach should be applied to any out of control business, corporation, governmental entity or group of people and so forth.

They tried that. It didn't work. That's why this thread is here..

They didn't raise their rates on the father. They charged him for the services that he purchased.

No. If they`d have charged him for what he purchased, the bill would be 60. But, they saw the error of their ways and "ate" the additional 20,940 dollars that it didn't cost them to begin with.

The company saw the mistake/issue and fixed it. If they can get over it, I'm sure you can.
