kudos:2 | The answer to the problem.. Instead of using the word "socked", let's start using the word "raped". If the MSM and everyone used the term "raped", things would quickly change.
Example:
"AT&T socks customer on international data roaming charges"
"AT&T rapes customer on international data roaming charges"

Utica, MI | I doubt you would throw around the word rape so casually if someone you cared about has experienced this heinous crime. |

True, but apparently the only way to get anyone to do anything is to go the extremes. Otherwise, we talk, and talk, and talk.

I'm sure he'd be willing to pay for it if the price were fair. |

I don't think the dispute is that he used or didn't use the data. The dispute is whether the carrier made an effort to notify him of the change in policy? In addition, once he went above the $50, they should have notified him about the new policy and reminded him about the additional charges he will incur..

In addition, once he went above the $50, they should have notified him about the new policy and reminded him about the additional charges he will incur.. Well a question I would have is why the service was not simply halted the moment the customer reached a certain cost point at or near the limit? My thoughts here would be something like spending limits on credit cards where the customer would need to contact the service provider to "check in" and then make a decision at that point...
It would surely put the brakes on these types of stories and the customer would get a fair warning that any further activity was going to be extremely expensive as well as an opportunity for the provider to upsell said customer on a more appropriate service tier.
Just a thought...

Really? Because I have and I would still and do throw that word around casually. Just like murder and suicide.
You know why? Because I am not some pansy ass "everyone gets a trophy even for losing" "do what feels good to you" kind of guy. If you are really that sensitive to words, then do society a favor and move along. |

In addition, once he went above the $50, they should have notified him about the new policy and reminded him about the additional charges he will incur.. its actually called in legal terms "misrepresentation" and if he took it to court he'd win that and if at small claims could go and try and get 25000 in pain and suffering this has caused....
OH and in ontario quebec and bc you can enjoin cases like these and file class action status, remember talk to a lawyer !!! |

"AT&T murdered Skippy25." You're right, that is a pretty amusing headline. |
