When the company misleads, it should be held responsible. General contract law is that ambiguity in the terms of a contract is held against the person who created the contract. In this case, the company.

Veech’s internet and mobile phone, over by hwy. 66? :-)

Can you lay off the mutual titillation long enough to notice that even conservatives generally frown on fraud.

[HiTech RedNeck]

She checked in good faith — disprove that.

She said the phone company should have warned her about the ballooning charges while she was in Dubai.

Really??? I mean really????? Since when is it the companies responsibility to give that information? So a credit card company must now warn customers not to use the card if they don’t have money in the bank?

Have it your way, you will any way. However, I'll be you a dollar to a donut if T-mobile wanted to press and collect, they would and do so legally AND collect.

This lady isn't convincing enough about what she knew and didn't know. You don't know anything about the ambiguity of terms she signed nor what she said she was told, just like me. I'm suspicious because of the mother-daughter 'agreement'. Her explanation doesn't ring true. Your impulse is to go after the cell company outright because of your housemate's Sprint problem.

[HiTech RedNeck]

She called and asked about it ahead of time.

[HiTech RedNeck]

At the cost of donuts locally, you again are trying to defraud.

The cost of pressing such an action would far outweigh what would be gained.

[Gaffer]

You are really laughable. If you are so obviously aggrieved, sue them then.

[HiTech RedNeck]

My housemate has many cell friends who tell him the same sorts of things.

By the way that was abusive when you used the sexual innuendo above.

[Gaffer]

Ever heard of small claims court? It’s worth a filing, particularly for a $16K bill.

[Gaffer]

Exactly what innuendo? Please explain.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Illinois caps it at $5K

[HiTech RedNeck]

“hard on”

[Gaffer]

Okay, again, have it your way. You really aren’t worth arguing with. Bye.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You once more get caught playing with the naughty toys.

True...I love how this site works...you read the story...post your comments and then read FRiends comments and get even more story and a realistic view of things...lol. I love it though!!!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Yes, Gaffer is more garrulous therefore is more credible. Wonderful!

T-mobile, while I like their service, is exCEPtionally stubborn when it comes to giving back money. When I was working on a cruise ship, I must have accidentally signed up for unlimited texting with my rear end leaning against a bulkhead. (Yes, keypad lock is your friend) I saw the 2 x $20 charges 2 months later after never having sent or received a single text message in those 2 months. I could not convince them to drop the charges for hell or high water.
