So my Verizon Phone bill surfaced through my pile of laundry this weekend. What a shock!!! $150+. I know what you are asking yourself at this point, and don't worry I have asked myself everyday. How the hell does one rack up such a phone bill in the modern era of "Unlimited IN calling" and enough competition to to make Capitalists jealous. Well it turns out that my text plan carries itself well in the United States, but the second I start texting our English brethran in the UK my per text rates skyrocket. One of my near and dear friends is studying abroad in her home country of the UK, I will not explain this but it is true.
Listen, my plan is already over a hundred dollars because I have sold my soul to RIM and Verizon and purchased a Blackberry with unlimited data and incalling and email and everything else. I figured that my text messages would somewhere be covered or at least I would receive a warning. Well, would I be writing this exert if that were true, probably not. But LISTEN!! after spending 5 minutes on the phone with "nothing they could do" I shot off a quick the quick email to customer service, that took me no more than 5 minutes to write, and lo and behold: $10.38 has been credited to my account. Obviously this doesn't cover the full amount, but really my work can be pro-rated to $60 an hour. But I have to be honest with you and say that the satisfaction of getting something back, from receiving a mini-bail out: Priceless.
