He knew very well what the charges were going to be before he departed.
When you are dealing with such a small rate (as in fractions of a cent), it's not at all unreasonable to think that .002 cents means exactly that: 2/1000 of 1 cent. If a business isn't responsible or intelligent enough to use proper units of measurement in their advertisement, then that's their fault. It isn't the burden of the customer to figure out what they meant.

Are you sure you aren't the genius lady that works for Verizon? The one that claimed she had a "difference of opinion" about a trivial arithmetic problem that most 2nd graders should be able to solve?

There was a story a few years back where a lady took a large stack of $100 or $1000 off coupon from a newspaper ad to a dealership. She wanted to buy the car using their coupon.
Absolutely horrible analogy. Verizon had already charged this guy and absolutely refused to give him the rate they advertised. The lady was only trying to purchase the car. The only way your analogy makes sense is if Verizon notices their mistake up front and refuses to give the guy the .002 cents/kilobyte rate *before* he starts using their services. if that were the case, this would be a non-issue. That is not the case.

Yea, because the scammer is the guy who expects a company to honor what they state as their rate, and not the company who refuses to honor the rate they stated on about three difference occasions. What planet are you from, exactly?
