> [@treysdad](#): > > I just got a $7,000 cell phone bill…_UPDATED_ post #146\* > No, you didn’t read that wrong. Actually, it is $7,243.29 total charges. When I first opened it and saw the charges I thought, there must be an error somewhere. I started looking at the charges and I was being charged for text messages. Some of them were $9.99 and $19.99 charges under the text area and even some for $29.99. Well, there it is. I have unlimited texts every month. I mean sometimes I will send/receive over a hundred a day. So I call Nextel Care. > > Of course I am all giddy because they have made an error right? Well, to my surprise they didn’t. The guy on the phone is looking at my bill and tells me that most of the charges are from third parties. I’m like wtf? He says that although I may have unlimited text messages, the texts I am sending and receiving carry additional charges. Basically when I send a text to get my horoscope, they are registering me for some subscription for $29.99. I’ve sent out hundreds of those texts you see on tv. Now I’m pissed. moreso at these companies that don’t tell you that you are being charged so much to get a fricken joke or something everyday. I tell the guy that I have unlimited texts and I should be able to send and receive all I want based on my text message plan. > > He asked me if I knew that when I sent the original text did I know I was signing up for these subscriptions. I tell him that I have sent out texts to get my horoscope, jokes, love tips, whatever. I get them all day long pretty much nonstop. I never knew they were gonna charge me a seperate fee. I mean a text message is a text message is it not? Now the guy tells me there isn’t anything Nextel can do. They aren’t the ones charging me. What the fuck am I supposed to do with a cell phone bill over 7k dollars? I can’t pay it. At least not all at once. Is there another way to dispute these charges so I don’t have to pay? **.** ---

Some of them are so fucking :snky: that they show the fine text BEFORE the commercial starts. If youre dumb enough to think someone would take the time to advertise a free service on TV youre a retard and deserve a $7k bill… ---
