You didn’t pay your bill because you’re poor.

There was a billing system issue earlier, who knows what other system it might have taken with it.

Or there is just a fluke outtage near you. who knows.

Its not a perfect technology.

Would that billing system issue explain the seemingly legitimate notification text I received earlier today saying I had used 58% of my data usage when in actuality I have used about 9%, or was that a well veiled phishing attempt? I did not follow the Verizon Wireless link they provided, just curious.

Theres been a lot of phishing attempts lately. Best practice is to not click the links and go to the website manually.

Yeah, I didn’t because it seemed odd.

Question, do all people’s billing cycles end on the 22nd?

Curious. The message indicated the correct end of my billing cycle. I’m going to chalk it up to a glitch.
