Re: Whoop de doo! Do us all a favour and cite the law?
Just because it's unethical doesn't mean it's illegal. |

Amerika | It's only illegal if the person is on autopay. Then Verizon is taking money that is not rightfully theirs (theft). |

its unethical but I don't know the legality of purposefully rigging phones to send a few BYTES without user confirmation (you can't just push one button and send a blank text message somewhere). Also said BYTES being rounded up not to KILOBYTE but a whole MEGABYTE? thats ridiculous!!! 2 bucks at that, thats a lot of money per 0 or 1! |

Are you saying that overcharging isn't illegal? Or is it only overcharging by a certain amount that is illegal? What if everyone opened their bill to find it $200 more than it should be? Would it be illegal for Verizon to knowingly charge $200 over the fair amount owed?
Note that word knowingly. The "insider" quoted is claiming that this is being intentionally done. If it is a software glitch, they should fix it and apologize. If it is done on purpose (or a software glitch that they purposefully don't fix), then they are defrauding customers. Last time I checked, fraud is illegal.
