Re: Whoop de doo! said by Deft:two measly dollars!!!! there goes my bank account! $24 over the year.
$48 after 2 years.
So what dollar amount is acceptable for you to be stolen from before you complain about it?
For me, 1 cent is too much.

You pick up pennies off the ground if they are abandoned? |

Yes, I am easily amused.

The point is that they are charging something that they know is bogus. They could easily set a limit on the amount of data used (0.05kb) before you incur a charge and prevent it but they don't. They could also program the directional keys to a function that does not access the internet (I've done that on my own Verizon phone) but, again, they don't. |

Right... That would cost Verizon millions, if an employee tried to make that happen, they would be fired! |

The bigger question for you is, if someone robbed you, and all you had was $2 and they ran off, would you file a police report? What if it was $200? What if 2cents? Would you care to file a police report, or feel robbed? I mean, you WERE robbed, its how you feel about it that counts and what you do about it. |

Well, it is good luck to do so! 8-)
Sure! Every heard of the phrase " a penny saved is a penny earned"? Of course, those pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters may be pretty darned dirty! |
